Tweet by Tweet: Outdoor wedding in Greenville, Ohio

We have an outdoor wedding this past weekend in Greenville, Ohio, which is north and west of Dayton. It is a 300 guest wedding reception in the bride's parents back yard. I was a little worried last night since Tornado Watches were up. Let's hope everything is great! Check out the tweet-by-tweet of today's wedding at http://www.twitter.com/yourdreamday.

New computer up and running...

How unreal! My laptop died last weekend, right before we have four weddings! Luckily, I always take care of backing up my computer system every night, so the crash wasn't as dramatic as it could have been. I bought an EeePC netbook and I love it! 2lbs, 1GB RAM, 160GB memory...it's so cute! It reminded me of just how much we depend on technology in this world. So, my computer is 100% back online. So now, backlogging begins....

Test Run of Hair and Makeup is so important!

I was reminded today of just how important it is to do a test run of your hair and makeup before your wedding day. I had a client do her test run of her hair and makeup today and the artists simply did not understand her vision. As a result, we are exploring other options.

Have a clear vision of what you would like your hair to look like. Do you want an updo? Down? Hair Extensions? Lashes? Look at Hollywood red carpet events and wedding magazines for inspiration. As far as makeup goes, you want to kick it up a notch on your wedding day but still look like yourself. You want to resemble the girl that your fiance fell in love with! You have to feel confident in the person staring back at you. If you don't, it will show in your photos and to the people around you. This is the day you should feel like a total perfect princess. Your vendors are here to help you achieve that, so the more direction you can give us the better we can help you.
