A week ago today I went for my hair & make up trial. I went to the salon with several ideas, but I had found so many cute styles I wanted to see what Betsy came up with. First style did not wow me, but because I didn't have a set vision in my head I was having trouble articulating what I wanted. Betsy was great (and my Mom helped too) and together we picked apart what we liked and didn't like. 2 1/2 hours later we nailed it, but at that point none of us really wanted to power through make up. I was so happy with the final result and definitely glad I went for the trial so on the big day we will all be on the same page.
Sunday we made another trip up to Portsmouth to meet with Laurie, our coordinator for the weekend. Arthur had not met her yet, so it was good they were able to meet and Arthur was able to express his thoughts on the weekend. While I have been having so much fun planning, I am really glad I have Laurie to help execute all my plans. It is so important to me that my family and bridal party are able to concentrate on having fun and being guests, rather than stress about details and trouble shoot any issues that might come up. Between Laurie and Gina, the coordinator at the Wentworth, I am feeling so stress free about the wedding.
After we met with Laurie, Arthur and I met our DJ, Nik. The DJ is definitely the vendor I was the most nervous about booking, because unless you or a close friend has actually attended a wedding with the DJ, I don't know how you can really tell if it's the right fit. I had spoken to Nik several times over the last nine months and he had great reviews, but I was still a little apprehensive. Arthur was also a bit worried about the DJ, mostly in the sense that the music plays such an integral role in the atmosphere of the reception and we really want it to be right. Our 2 1/2 hour meeting went great - by the end we both felt Nik understood our preferences. I'm super excited about our song choices and very glad we decided to do the final meeting in person rather than over the phone.
Everything is really coming together!!
