Anyone getting married married away from home?

MsSunil, 17 June, 2009 at 22:56 Posted on Planning 0 8

Im getting married in 2 weeks, and was going to do my own hair as Im not to bad at it, but now I am panicking and feel like its too much pressure for me. Im getting married 150 miles away from home and wont be arriving there until around 3pm the day before the wedding, with lots to do.... pick up notcie to marry, go to venue to arrange seating plan and leave cake and placemats etc

Anyone who is going away to be married, what are you doing about hair? I can arrange for a mobile hairdresser to do it but I'll be worried that it might be a waste of time and Ill end up finishing it off myself? Any tips? Thanksss xxxx

    Hi!

    I'm getting married about 100miles away from home, so I can imagine we'll be in the same boat with how hectic things will be! I'm planning on getting someone to come to the hotel, simply coz I'm not that great at doing my hair in any up-styles. Also, I'd like one less thing to have to do myself! Ideally I'll be going & getting a trial well in advance to make sure I'm happy with it. I think if your pretty good at doing your own hair then maybe you would be best doing it yourself. The last thing you want is to re-do it all or sit & think "I would've done it like this..."

    HTH's!xx

    I'm getting married 270 miles from home. Turning into a nightmare. Can't try on dress till four weeks before the wedding. Everything having to be organised over the phone and by e-mail. If I could go back and organise it all again I'd do it all differently.

    Well we're getting married 1512 miles away (just looked on AA maps) and I'm definitely having my hair done at a local hairdresser and a make up guy is coming to the hotel.

    I'm not bothered if I have to fiddle with it at least it takes the big pressure off and it's one less thing to think about.

    We are getting married about 50 miles away from home, but I have managed to get my own hairdresser to come down to the hotel for the morning! 2 of them are coming so they will be able to do myself and about 7 others (BM, mum, friends...) so it'll be worth their while....I just have to cover their travel expense on top of hair prices.

    100 miles is maybe too far though......Your venue may be able to put you in touch with local hairdressers, or you could ask around on hitched for HD in that area....

    I think it'll be best to get someone to do it for you to take the stress away... even if you do need to 'fiddle' .

    You could have a trial with your own hairdresser & take loads of pics to show your hairdresser on the day........

    good luck

    xx

    Bit like Tahdah , mines 2357 miles away (and would take 43 hours to drive, hee hee!) but I'm going to do my own hair.

    On a more sensible note, my reception when I get home is 200 miles away, and again, I'm using a local hairdresser thats been recommended by a friend Xx
