decisions decisions


soooo i finally met with all the photographers and had narrowed it down...

1) belathee



2) Anja




BUT- then my friend just referred me to this photographer this morning, who turned out to be....just.......amazing!

GH Kim





MOVING ON....

i know everyone is sick of the color and theme- i am too. so this is the last time i'm changing it and i'm sticking with it!!

......yellow + grey......
and vintagey look & feel to focus around the photobooth theme.
(some of you initially voted for this color scheme back in the beginning.....i shoulda just listened then!)






HAIR/MAKE-UP
did my hair/make-up trial this past weekend in queens with reiko utsugi. i had originally heard good things about sachiko yanase, but when she was booked she recommended reiko. turned out be great too! with make-up i realized there wasn't much to do....but for hair there were 3 styles we tried out. (some of the pics are hard to see because of the lighting and also bc i realized it's hard to notice details with all black hair! also didn't have front shots of some but you can use your imagination :D )

1) grecian updo






2) low side bun w/ bangs




3) poof and chignon




which hairstyle do you like....?


TIPPING?
so i've been thinking about this lately and was hoping some of the married people could offer help....do you have to tip your vendors on your wedding night (ie: photographers or florists, etc). we end up paying a lot for each vendor, but for some that are service based, i'm not sure if we're supposed to tip- and if so, how much is appropriate? (for example, at the reception hall, we are given a "recommended" amount to tip the "Captain" who runs all of the logistics for the wedding the night of...)


ok that's all the updates for now....

PS- i ended up getting the jcrew shoes with the side bow bc they were a little more fun and colorful, and i know i would probably never get to wear the pretty ivory ones again....

PPS- can anyone help me find cute yellow dresses for the BM's (that won't break the bank?)

OMYYY. HANNAH. last hairstyle, hands down! especially with the veil. thats so vintage-y to me, its so pretty. i like that stick of white branch in the sample picture's hair.

:) you look so pretty- esp in that veil picture. WAHHHHH.

actually okay. i say maybe 2nd or 3rd hairstyle. maybe 3rd the poof could come down a little. i looked again and its almost reminds me of amy winehouse. i still like it though. haha.

i COMPLETELY agree with jane. 2nd or 3rd. i like the overall look of 3rd more but the poof could go down a bit. u dont want everyone to just remember the poof. i LOVE the look of the 3rd from behind, but maybe i am also leaning on the 2nd cuz its not as poofy so it looks more natural. so i vote for 3rd minus a bit of poof. make-up looks nice! very pretty.

theres a good note about tipping. my sister says, if it's unnecessary, DON'T TIP. the prices are already ridiculous. u shouldn't have to pay extra if u dont need to.
