I just had my final wedding dress fitting!
It was a surreal experience yet again for me.  I can’t believe that I’m the bride and not just organizing someone else’s wedding.  I hope I can shake off my daze so I can remember and enjoy every single moment of our wedding days.

I brought my veil and tiara with me to try on with the dress.  My veil is a two tier fingertip-length veil with crytals lining the edges.  It was another eBay purchase.  I got it for $75.  This same veil with less crystals was $300 at the bridal salon where I purchased my dress.  Once I got into my dress, I pulled the blusher over my face.  After a few minutes, I was starting to feel hot and uncomfortable.  I don’t think I would be able to spend over an hour and a half hot under a veil.  In addition, I couldn’t really see through the tulle mesh.  It’s not a super fine tulle mesh so it’s not almost transparent.  However, I do want to go down…

I had my makeup trial in late July.
Melody Morelos will be doing my makeup and hair for my wedding day.  She also did my makeup for our Engagement photos.

She uses professional industry makeup as well as M·A·C, Make-up Art Cosmetics which is a Canadian company founded in 1985 in Toronto, Canada.  M·A·C is now internationally recognized for their aray of colours, quality, deep pigmentation in their makeup, and numerous high-profile professional and celebrity endorsements.  The company is now owned by Estée lauder.  Here is a link to their Bridal cosmetics showcase:   http://www.maccosmetics.com/bridal/index.tmpl .

Melody is a young, vivacious and super gorgeous stylist.  I felt instantly at ease with her.  She came highly recommended by my co-worker and friend, Sara.  One of her sisters and another makeup artist will be assisting her on the wedding day as there are 6 in the wedding party needing to be made up.  Here are some photos of the trial makeup:

From the moment Mr. Bloom said: “Why’s your hair tied up? You look like your brother!” I knew that my hair would have to be kept down for the wedding. I wouldn’t want Mr. Bloom to see me emerge through the church doors and mistake me for my brother! =P

Keeping my hair down would have been my first choice anyway. I tend to get headaches when my hair is pulled back.
The only issue with having my hair down is the length of it. I’ve had it shoulder length in various styles for many years.
I once had super long hair down to my waist with a perm.

Me at my 21st birthday costume party with Guzman,
my huge stuffed gorilla, that my brother gave me.

Knowing that I’d have to have longer hair for my wedding, I started growing it out. It’s been 3 years. *LOL* I’ve been seriously waiting for Mr. Bloom to pop the question since then. Ah, patience is a virtue!

Here are some hairstyles that I’d like my hairstylists to recreate:
