Bridal Prep

I have a prep room at my venue, but am also renting a hotel room for the night before and night of (my venue is 2 hours away from home for me) so I'm doing a split between getting ready in my suite and the prep room at my venue. My venue is a little unique in that one of the prep rooms is the head of a bootleg tunnel and there is a lot of history, but I'm in Washington. I'm sure you could find something with cool history in your location!

Well be in the hotel getting prepped and then we also have the brial suite in the banquet.

@Mrs. LMac this is what I'm trying to avoid.

@JJ I 1000% agree with you on this! How did you book? I've looked at so many corporate hotels that have been nothing but a headache to deal with.

Were getting ready in the hotel where my room block is. I booked the room for the night before and the night of the wedding so we can start getting ready whenever.

I booked the venue next door for the night before. It will be myself, my mother and my MOH. The venue where we are getting married includes a free night at the hotel on the wedding night to couples, so it just made sense. It's not the fanciest, but who cares. It's just to get makeup done, put clothes on and sleep.

Hotel suite

Our venue offers a bridal suite for us to get ready in. I'm assuming you already looked into that at yours.... What's close to your venue?

I love new orleans, there are so many spots you could do it! For hotels, I love the saint hotel, bourbon house, or the olivier house! The olivier house is SUPER unique, each room really different and different themes. It was an old brothel house lol

Have you looked at airbnb? I rented a cute house for the night before!

FH and I are booking the bridal suite both the night before and the night of our wedding. The women will get ready in the bridal suite, as it is super spacious, and FH will get ready in a regular room.

My venue doesn't offer a suite to get ready in

@Kate R. GENIUS IDEA!!!

@Jennifer V. I kind of sort of looked at the Saint but I'll def check out the Olivier House.

@Ashley I'm def gonna look into that!!!

Airbnb is what we are using and it's a godsend. We rented two houses because our wedding is out of town. The groomsmen will get ready at one house and the bridesmaids at the other. Everyone can sleep at either house and we will stay there the night before and after the wedding. Everyone is excited and it's going to be a good time!

I booked a hotel suite so my bridesmaids and I will stay there the night before the wedding, get ready in the morning there and then my new husband (!!!!) and I will start in the same room the night of the wedding.

Our hair and makeup are being done at the salon which is maybe 2 miles from the church. Between BP, mothers, grandmothers, and Godmother they will have to do us in shifts so we will have to start really early.

I used Airbnb to book a house for two nights. Me and BM's will stay there the night before, wake up, get ready, and FH will spend the night there. Then I don't have to move any of my shit around either.

We're planning on getting ready in one of our hotel suites!

My Venue has a bridal Suite and groom Suite with full bathrooms and a kitchen

Luckily my venue allows me to use the bridal suite all day at no additional cost They even provide us with snacks & drinks.

We'll be getting married in our hotel room. I doubt BM's will be there but I'm sure FMIL, my mom and a bunch of my friends will stop by. FH and I rented the room for the weekend.
