Getting Our Hair Did & Hating on Flowers

Picking up where we left off, the girls headed out bright and earlyish for hair appointments, followed by makeup provided by the amazingly talented Michael Weiss (freelance makeup artist, works days @ Bobbi Brown @ Mayfair – Facebook him!), who met us at my Granny’s for the end of the primping!

Sarah, Paul’s “Best Woman,” and Nicole, my cousin and bridesmaid, looking HOT, above!  Then we were off!

My lovely Maid of Honor/Sister, PSYCHED for the impending shindig!

My mama make a gorgeous chauffeur!

At the venue, Downtown Milwaukee Transit Center’s Harbor Lights Room, we were met by the florist (Vender Critique to come, I promise!), whose sole purpose, it seems, was to disappoint the bride.  They worked, but EVERYTHING except for Art’s bout was wrong.  Luckily, our (amazing) photographers didn’t include the (multiple) pics of my flipping off my (crap) bouquet in our proof book.

(supposed to be simple, mostly white hydrangeas with a few orange orchids and chocolate cosmos; ended up much too orange/cluttered-looking – and are those rhinestones in the centers of the orchids?!  gag)

The flowers were decidedly UNchic.

After some intense pre-ceremony moments, we were ready to get the show on the road!
