i know, i’ve left you hanging in the wedding planning updates. i have been extremely busy with work since january, so my wedding planning has been happening, but there has been very little extra time to write about it here. here i go now…
all these images are little hints, but not the “real thing”…
i have remained quite calm over the past several months, even receiving several comments to the effect of “you don’t seem like a bride so close to her wedding. you’re so calm”. yes, i was ~ until this past weekend…
i had two (two!) make-up trials, with two (two!) different make-up artists and neither of them got me at all. my eyes were lined dark in black eyeliner and one gal even tried to put what i would call glam-rock fake eyelashes on me that seemed a mile long. i mean, seriously, does this even look like me? i think i look like i’m a man in drag, but you decide…
not really for me, a gal who hardly ever wears any make-up at all. and i told her “natural”. yikes.
then i arrived home to my guy trying on his tux (so handsome!) and he said “whoa! babe – that’s a lot of eye make-up”. that is not exactly the response one hopes for from their groom on wedding day. meltdown begins…
*but* i am back on track now because my dear friend liz came to the rescue offering her local wedding hair and make-up salon.
18 days, sanity back in check. yippee and thank you, mrs. robertson, because, call me crazy, but i’d like to look pretty on my wedding day.

Ali!
I’m getting so excited for your wedding! Liz told me about your make-up woes. You definitely do not need a lot…you are naturally beautiful – no need to cover that up!
I would, however, completely recommend fake eyelashes (maybe not rock/glam). I protested about them at first, but was very thankful to have them post-ceremony tears.
Looking forward to seeing the beautiful bride!
I think I could have done a better makeup job than that with a fake makeup kit.
And I would say “Real Housewives of Orange County” rather than drag, but neither are probably what you’re going for. 😉
