Jr. Bridesmaid Dresses January 17, 2010

Filed under: Bridal Party, Bridesmaids — emmyinla @ 2:59 am

There’s huge drama surrounding the title of Jr. Bridesmaid, but since this is my blog I’ll call them whatever I want.

The Jr. BMs, all 19-20, will be wearing Jim Hjelm also–style 5915T in Blackberry.

Amazing Make-Up Artist January 8, 2010

Filed under: Bridal Party, Groom's Gals — emmyinla @ 11:27 pm

I met the most amazing make-up artist. I went to get all new make-up after my old make-up was destroyed in a tragic run-over-by-a-car accident. Victoria was in the store that day and did my make-up. I loved it. I looked amazing and she was great–no upsell, answered all my questions. At the end I asked her if she did make-up for weddings and she said normal no but she would for me!

YAY!

The pricing is great, so I think I’ll get make-up done for myself, my mom and my fiance’s two sister. Victoria said she can bring a hair person with her, so I’m going to get the future sisters-in-law’s hair done (since my mom and I have other arrangements.)

The hair and make-up is going to be our gift to them as thanks for being attendants.

 

Wedding shoes! January 6, 2010

Filed under: Bridal Party, Dress — emmyinla @ 5:42 am

As I probably already stated I want the bridesmaids and I to have the same style shoes but in really cute outrageous colors and stuff. I was thinking either peep toe or super strapy.

I just saw these gold strapy shoes on Style Me Pretty and am in love with them!

 

Groom’s Gals’ Dresses January 4, 2010

Filed under: Bridal Party, Groom's Gals — emmyinla @ 1:13 am

While in Ireland for Christmas I had the chance to go look at dresses with my fiance’s sisters, who will be standing up with him as groom’s gals. We decided they’ll get black dresses, to go with the tuxes. Both my future sisters in law are petite and gorgeous, so they’ll look great whatever they’re wearing. Of the styles we saw a strapless,  draped top was the best.

These aren’t the ones we saw, but are close.

 

For my groom January 2, 2010

Filed under: Bridal Party, Groomsmen — emmyinla @ 11:07 am

There’s this great new place that opened up in Hollywood. It’s called Barber Dollz and it’s this sort of burlesque barber shop. They do hot shaves, and I think getting a hot shave would be a great fun activity for all the groomsmen.

I think I’ll get my guy “The Grandslam”–which is cut, color, shave and chair massage–before the wedding. Two weeks before would be perfect.

  • The Grandslam*
    Hit it out of the park with all four of our most popular options, cut, color, hot shave and a 10-minute chair massage.
    $105.00

This place is close to our apartment, and also close to the hotel the out of town guests will be able to walk there.

Shaves are $35 each. If I were to get it for all the people I want–my dad and brother, groom’s dad, brother (maybe not, he doesn’t like people touching him) and three groomsmen, it would cost $245. That’s not bad!

 

Perfect flowers! January 2, 2010

Filed under: Floral — emmyinla @ 10:51 am

I love, love, love these flowers.

This is a Hawaii wedding, so they’re probably brighter than I can get away with with a spring LA wedding, but I love the way these bright flowers look against the dark dresses.

 

Things to think about: Hair! December 16, 2009

So I haven’t really thought about my hairstyle yet. My hairstylist, the first person to ever cut my hair, is coming to the wedding and will be styling my hair. But what that style is going to be? Hmmm.

Here are some I like. I really want a flower!
