hair and make-up and a room full of relatives on the wedding morning : /

I'm going to do my own make up but am having a hairdresser come to the venue to do my hair.

The issue is what to do with the bridesmaids....and my mom.

I have a 40 yrx old moh (my sis) and a 12 yr old neice as a bm. They will be in matching outfits as the 12 yr old looks more like 17. I also have an 8 yr old in a different dress.

What should I do with their make up and hair? I cant afford a make up person for them and dont think my moh can do hers and the older bm as she wears little make up and I think it would end badly! I will have enough to do so dont want to end up doing it myself!

My mom is very scruffy so ive had to bit the bullet and pay to get her hair done with mine. I'm happy to pay for the bm hair but what do I do with it? One has thick red wavy hair and the other thin blonde hair. - both hair lengths are the same - long.

as for the room full of people - I have a dilemma. In the hotel room on the weddibg morning will be;

Me, mom,, moh, 2 bm and their mothers (my other siblings) plus my moh 3yr old boy and one of tge bms 5 yr old sister ( the 3 yr old dad dad is our photographer and tge 5yr old dad isnt comibg). One of my bms moms really srresses me out (eveb though she is my sister). Ill aslo have 2 hairdressers in there. Its a small room with too many people!

What id like is for tge two sistets who arent in the bridal party to take care if tge 3 and 5 yr old - somewhere else. I am dreading one of them knocking something obto the dress ir having a tantrum. I need my moh to be focused on me and tge day - nit her 3 yr okd having a paddy.

How would you deal with this? X

I think for the sake of your nerves have in the room only the people you absolutely *need* to be there. Is there anywhere else your venue could supply you with for prep - another room for just the morning maybe?

Concentrate on your own hair and make up as a priority, do your hairdressers do make up? I've worked with many who do both but if that's a no go would either of your other sisters be able to do it? I've found it really helps when someone is given a specific task to do - keeps them busy and out of your way!

I know!!! - my dress has a built in bra too so my bits will all be on display when my dress is going on!! : /

I'm thinking of doing the following;

- telling everyone who is not in the bridal party but who is bringing a bridesmaid in the morning that they must arrive ready as there is no facility for them to get ready at the hotel unless they book a room there the night before, in which case they can get ready in their own room.

I will have my hair done after I do my face followed by my MOH and older BM. Then, my MOH and older BM can get dressed and go out whilst my mom and younger bm come in and get ready. - ill ask my sis to do tge younger bm hair before they arrive.

Everyone else will just have to entertain themselves! Its a big hotel so they can have a look around.

I need absolute calm and the two sisters who aremotherds to the bms really stress me out plys they dobt like my fiance or approve of the wedding! - they cant be in my room

Are you having a photographer in the morning?

If so, I've read it's best to have your BM's and MOH ready first (hair, Make up and dresses) so that in pictures when they are doing the fastening you into your dress bit they look prepped and beautiful.

Just a thought

It just sounds like far too many people in one room, I can imagine the stress just now that would unfold if it were me lol.
You need to just nicely explain to them that there's not enough room and just have the people who are essential there and that the rest can either book a room for themselves or arrive ready and do their own thing, away from your room.

Indeed! Far too many.I called the venue and they are going to turn the library into a hair and make up room which theyve done before apparently. : ) My moh is stopping the night before with her hubby (our photographer) and their little boy.My plan is for my bms and moh to get their hair and faces done in the library whilst mine is done in my room - alone! : ) My bm 1's brother (my nephew) and her mom's (my sister) partner can get ready in the moh bedroom with the moh's hubby and little boy whilst she is downstairs having her hair and face done. They will then need to go and join the others downstairs with exception of my moh hubby as he will need to start the photography. My sister,(mother of bm 1) who is not in the bridal party can get ready in the library whilst the moh and bms have their faces/hair done. My other sister (mom of bm 2)and her youngest can be in the library with the others, my mom and my moh little boy.The moh and bm outfits will be in my room and so after hair and make up they will come to my room to get dressed and help me get my dress on. The idea is that no one will see the bms or me until the big moment! ....well that's the plan! : /
