My One Wedding Tip

I got married in July. Planning my simple stress free wedding was a bit more hectic than planned. As my mother-in-law, Bonnie, pointed out when I first made this observation, it's the other people that bring the stress. As the wedding got closer life got crazier and I found myself worn out and tired.
The plan was always to have a very natural look with my hair. Half up, possibly curled with a wreath of flowers. We toyed with the idea of getting it done and Bonnie suggested someone, but she kept deciding not to call. The day before the wedding she decided we should go ahead with it and she set up an appointment super close to the scheduled time of the wedding.
The day of I was feeling a bit burnt out. And stuff kept happening. On the way to the Stylist I though I had lost the rings. While waiting for my turn in the chair I was called and told that my very allergic mother had stepped on a hornets nest near where they were setting up the food table. There was plenty of stuff to worry about. But when I sat down in that chair and the stylist had someone start putting my hair in hot rollers, I was finally able to relax. I had been reassured that everything was getting taken care of and then forced to sit down and let somebody else do all the work. The heat of hot rollers felt so good, and I just sat and enjoyed the feeling of somebody combing and styling my long hair.
In the end the style she chose might not have suited my large forehead and funky hairline and wasn't exactly what I had wanted. But when I looked in the mirror I looked like a bride. Feeling and looking like a bride and being able to fully relax for the first time in a long time was wonderful. I later found out through someone else that that was very reason the appointment had been planned, and I'm so grateful that Bonnie realized that this was exactly what I needed.
No matter what your other plans may be, I highly recomend getting your hair professionally done. Or at least putting some time aside just for you with no distractions and little thinking. Things will happen and you will worry so find something that truly relaxes you. I thought the bachelorette party would be relaxing. It was just pizza, ice cream floats, and chick flicks with my sisters-in-law and best friend. But there is still to much too think about. The Hair appointment gave me "me time". Something we should all try to find in any hectic point in our lives.
