Bridesmaids Update - Week of Wedding Edition
OMG IT'S WEDDING WEEK!
Welcome to your Wedding Week edition of the #ParkerToMorris newsletter. Also, this is the first edition that Sara is seeing, so welcome our Bride to the newsletter fun!
Please read this carefully as it is your lifeline to wedding weekend questions. If you have any questions, please direct them my way!
p.s. - remember to tag any posts / pics with #parkertomorris - we're gonna take SO. MANY. SELFIES.
Thursday Nail Party - FAQ's
Meet @ Sara's aparment at 6pm.
Sara's family is being so generous to help us get pampered for the wedding! Here are your options for nails on Thursday night:
- regular manicure & pedicure (with normal polish)
- OR
- gel / acrylic manicure
Please email me back by Tuesday with what you'll be getting done! We'll grab some dinner after our nails are all sparkly and perfect (come ready to pay for your own meal at Olive Garden).
P.S. - feel free to get additional services (such as if you need a pedi, but are getting a gel set) but understand that you'll need to pay for that. But don't worry about time - we won't be in a rush that evening!
Rehearsal Dinner - Need to Knows
- Reminder - wear a dress or skirt (any color is fine) - this applies to the bridal luncheon too - picture a dainty tea party for the luncheon.
- Please bring to the rehearsal whatever shoes you'll wear on wedding day, so you can practice walking in them. (you can definitely bring casual shoes to change in to for the dinner).
- We'll be sitting at a wedding party table, so be on the look out for the specially chosen seat for you (and your date if you're bringing one)
- Sara and I have worked with Lauren, our amazing wedding coordinator, so she'll give us great direction at the rehearsal according to what has been decided.
Wedding Day - Important Info / Planning Tips
Don't forget to pack these items:
- navy leggings or shorts for morning of.
- something to wear under a white button-up shirt that would not show up in pictures.
- foundation for the make-up artist to use.
- a picture or Pinterest pin of what you want your hair to look like for the hair stylist.
Remember we'll have pictures taken in the suite on Saturday morning, so let's keep it tidy while we're in there on Friday.
