getting ready in my old bedroom at mom's house! our ceremony is early (230), so we are going to have a big brunch spread in the kitchen, all the girls milling around in the morning. i think it will be a nice, relaxing fun time before the festivities really begin. being able to get ready at home was one of the main reasons we decided to get married in my hometown instead of where we (and most of our family and friends) live now.
we are all getting ready at a hotel because the ceremony/reception are not taking place where me/FI and are parents/bridal party live.
should be fun!
My 'maids and i will be spending the night in a suite at the Dream Inn and getting ready together in the morning. My church doesn't have a room for us to get ready in, so I thought this would be the best option.
I got to see the "bride's room" today at our venue. I was super disappointed on the size and decor (lack of). I am not having a bridal party, but I really like the idea of my dearest, closest friends hanging out with me maybe like an hour before the wedding. NO WAY is that even possible in this room. We live in a tiny apartment, so that's not a good option. Looks like it will probably be a hotel room for me!
Our venue has a "bridal apartment" on the upper floor of the building at the ceremony/reception venue. I'm pretty excited about it; there are couches and plenty of chairs and a full kitchen and bathroom. Not a bad place to chill with the female types during the hours before the ceremony, not to mention moments to steal off and catch a breather during the reception. I am thinking that FI and groomsmen will get ready at the best man's house, since he lives about 5 miles from the venue and has plenty of space for them to relax. (I... haven't asked him yet, but he'll probably be cool with it.) ;)
Our venue is having a special room for me, my MOH, mom and FMIL to get ready in after the spa/salon! can't wait!!!
One of the venues we looked at had beautiful rooms for both the bride and groom but it was imperfect in other ways (let's start with the fact that there was no elevator--how's Grannie going to get up the stairs?). I wish that we had that, it would really simplify things.
I'm thinking that my maids and I will get ready in our wedding night hotel room and the groom and groomsmen at our house. That way I can check us in and drop our things off too, since we'll get there so late. We'll meet up wherever we decide to start taking pictures.
I feel a little weird about everyone being in our wedding night room, but I guess it's not that bad if it's just the girls.
I think your solution is the best one, especially given how nice the photos of the bridal group getting ready will look in a hotel room versus anywhere else. Photographers are usually very experienced with shooting the preparations in hotel room lighting so you're bound to get good ones.
@ Home. I think it will be better for me that way.
my bridesmaids and family will be staying at the hotel/venue the night before, so we'll be getting ready in our room. my fi will probably be getting ready at home.
I plan to get ready at home with my fiance. That's how I will be most comfortable. I really don't like 'sleepovers,' so I can't imagine it any other way.
FI and I are staying at my parents house together the night before the wedding. And then the next morning, as weird as it sounds, we're getting ready at our reception venue. It's an old 1800's mansion that has a great upstairs with bedrooms perfect for getting ready and having pictures taken. And it's only a 10 minute at most drive from the ceremony location.
We are starting to get ready at my mom's house, then finish up with the final touches and putting the dress on at the ceremony site. The groom will get ready at our house and meet up for the ceremony!
We got married (ceremony) in a church. Just down the street was the Club where we hosted the reception...we also had our wedding suite there for the night. The girls all got ready at the Club in the suite - it was Perfect! It had two bathrooms, a kitchenette and dining room area, as well as a living room area and a large bedroom. The guys all got ready in a suite on another floor of the Club. We all met downstairs in the Grand Foyer where DH and I did our "reveal" and had our wedding party photos taken.
We then all took Limos to the church. It worked out VERY well because the weather was AWFUL that day and it was lucky for us that we were already at our picture location when we got ready.
I'll probably be getting ready at the venue - I'll have a really nice bridal suite, so I'm sure me and my 'maids will just get ready in there!
Me and all the maids will be getting ready in the big suite where FI and I will stay that night. It's not far from the church, and we'll take the trolley from one to the other. Fi is getting ready in another room in the hotel too.
I plan to do some getting ready out and about. . .not really sure where. Maybe the hotel I'm staying at the night before.
I plan to do the bulk of the getting ready in the bridal suite at the ceremony venue. It's not the prettiest room, nor the biggest, but I think it'll work for the few hours I have to be sequestered.
My bridesmaids and I will be having a sleepover at my condo about an 45 min away from our venue the night before the wedding, and then getting our hair done at my usual hair salon in the morning, and chillin with some brunch type foods. Then we'll head in to a relative's house just a few minutes from our venue to put on our clothes makeup closer to ceremony start time (2:30 pm).
My fiance is getting a hotel room close to the venue the night before with two double beds which he'll share with his groomsman who's married to one of my bridesmaids. The boys will use that room to change in the day, and then groomsman and bridesmaid will use it to sleep at the night of the wedding, while we check into a fancier hotel semi-near the venue for a couple nights for a mini-moon.
We rented out a bed and breakfast and got ready in adjoining rooms. I never saw him, and he never saw me. Our bridal party really did their job!!
We got our hair done at a salon. Then my mom, BMs, photog, and I headed over to the hotel room that my husband and I would be in that night. We did our makeup and got dressed there. For some reason our church wouldn't let us do makeup in their bridal room (stupid strict rule - they must have had problems with people leaving makeup messes in the past). So I didn't see the point of doing makeup at a hotel and then getting dressed at the church. We just did everything at the hotel instead even though I didn't really want all these people in my husband and I's wedding night room.
I am getting ready at home with my girls, my mom and my FMIL!
The boy and the guys are getting ready at the hotel!
I want to be in my own space in my own bedroom with my en-suite bathroom with my lovely lock on the door LOL!
There are Bride and Grooms rooms. Upstairs where me and the ladies will be getting ready are couches and a kitchen are to hang out in. The guys will be downstairs in a room. They will be allowed to come upstairs and eat after I am tucked away in my room. There is an elevator and everything. I am so excited!
We used a conference room at the synagogue as our dressing room. We had our hair and make-up person come there as well. That way, whoever wasn't getting dressed/having hair and make-up done at any given time could be helping to decorate the synagogue for the wedding.
We are going to drive to the reception hall and get dressed there, that way we can all ride together to the church.
We'll be enjoying breakfast at my parent's house and then off to get our hair done. The girl who is doing my make-up and helpng my girls out will be doing that all at the house. But my girls and I will be putting our dresses on at the church before pictures.
We (me and a bridesmaid) got ready in a hotel about 20 minutes away from the venue.
Hubs got ready at home!
The majority of my brides get mostly ready at home/hotel and then at the church/venue do finishing touches and put on the dress.
Since I'm the one with all the OOT Bridesmaids we will either take over the house (most likely if we ever can find one :-) and then finish up at the church. Right now, I want to have a hair/makeup person come to ME.... I don't want to be in a salon...
