I might just win the title. I'll admit, most of my tasks are delegated to vendors, and those that aren't end up delegated to John. There are definitely pluses to marrying an artist (pretty paper products)! The one thing I'm sure now that I'm doing to DIY is my make-up. I know a lot of people say this is one thing you don't do yourself (actually, I've heard that about a lot of stuff that actually needs to be done on the wedding day) but I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty picky. I'm also pretty good with make-up (observe my work and John's hotness on the left)!I decided I was sure that I wanted to do my own make-up when I was showing my b-pic teasers to a close friend. She asked me who did my make-up for the pictures. I'd done it myself. At that moment, I became sure that I didn't want someone else handling my look that day. I hadn't been thrilled with the before/after shots I'd seen on local makeup artist's webpages, and I wanted to be really thrilled with my makeup day of.
So here's my plan. I'm going to go into MAC the day of our e-pics (still not sure when that will be) and bring in the picture on the left. I love that look... the eyes are perfect. I love that bright look. I'll ask them to do my makeup, and just buy whatever they use. Granted, all eye make-up must be waterproof. I'll probably be a crier. Then I'll get some Model in a Bottle which I've seen a ton of knotties swear by. I'll have my hairdresser do my hair, and I'll do my own makeup back at home. Plus, I love photos that I've seen of brides doing their own makeup. They seem so... human. I like that. While I appreciate the wanting to be a princess for a day feeling, I love the look of a bride doing her own makeup. I'll just have some touch-ups in my clutch.
Is anyone else doing their own makeup and or hair for their wedding? Why?
(Sorry for the wierd formatting in this post, I have no idea why it's doing that!)
