Hair & Make up

It's time for the pretty ladies to get all dolled up now!  Som arranged a great set up right at the hotel in her suite that she stayed in the night before.  The hairdresser and make up artist were both on site for us.   The bridesmaids all got started early.  I didn't have to get Makayla there until noon so I was in charge of bringing lunch in for everyone to make it easy.  I just got some croissant sandwiches and fresh fruit for us.  It was nice and healthy and light for us to enjoy before the wedding.  It was so nice of my parents to come early that morning to pick up and take care of baby Mylee for me that day.  That was  a big relief so I didn't have to worry about both girls while trying to get ready for the wedding.  Make up, hair and flower girl might have been overload for me.  Ryan was pretty busy too since he was one of the groomsmen.  Well it all worked out fantastic and we all had a fun afternoon getting prettied up!
When I arrived most of the girls already looked extra stunning!  Here I am on the make up seat!  I'm feeling very, very pretty since I don't usually wear make up like this at all.  The most for me is a little lipstick and maybe blush.  I know kind of boring!
Then it was my little girls turn to get her hair done!  She was a little shy but sat so nicely for Irma the hairdresser.  We had to do her hair a few different ways since the flowers for her hair was a tad big. It turned out soooo cute!  
The bridesmaids are all getting Ms. Som dressed now that her hair and make up are all done!  She looks fantastic!  So beautiful!

Hey everyone, it's my turn for make up?  Don't forget about me.  It was so cute!  Amy the make up artist put a little lip gloss and blush on her!  Makayla wanted to be just like the big girls and didn't miss a beat as to what was going on!  I'm so proud that she was such a good girl all afternoon without a nap.  I knew it wasn't going to happen with all this excitement.  Now we'll see if she makes it to the wedding and down the aisle!
Makayla is all ready and now just posing in front of all the gorgeous bouquets!  The colors she chose were just amazing!  

Us girls all dolled up!  Mommy and Makayla!  The day was just perfect so far!  There's usually some sort of hiccup when it comes to a group of girls getting hair and make up done and there wasn't today.  Everything was on time and on target for the photos to take place!  We were all ready when the photographer and videographer arrived.  Amazing!  It's usually always late for girls to get ready but not in this case.  Great hairdresser and make up artists! Thanks Som for taking care of all of us!  You're one amazing bride!
