I've finally caught up with the blog. So far, we've done 17th beautiful weddings. Time flies fast, grabe. From our experience with the 17 weddings here are some tips for the soon-to-weds.
1. If you don't have a 100sqm room and you have more than 5 heads for HMUA, get separate rooms for Bride and the Makeup. That will give your PV team more room for their creative shots.
2. I prefer early HMU for Bride. That means more time for photos and a relaxed mood during preps.
3. If your ento will have their HMU done in the preps venue, please request them to have their hair dried early.
4. No facial treatments 3 days to 1 week before the wedding to avoid any possible harsh reaction.
5. Prepare payment envelopes the day prior to the wedding and endorse it to your MOH.
6. Order preps meals day before.
7. Send us all the documents we need 1 day before at the latest so we know your plans and we can execute them well.
8. No long AVPs. No matter how beautiful it is, if it is more than 10 minutes, your guest won't enjoy watching it. 5 mins. is a good length.
9. Spread out testimonials/wishes throughout the program. That would make it less dragging for your guests.
10. On the wedding day, let go of your OC-ness and have fun!
All these things are very true, especially number 8! If I may add my favorite tip to brides:
ReplyDeletePrepare flat shoes/slippers and have your coordinator put them under your table at the reception area so you can slip your feet into something comfortable when you're sitting down. Wearing those high heels all day can hurt, especially if you're not used to them.
