Hello! I'm having a little bit of trouble choosing a spot to get ready with my bridesmaids for my wedding and need some opinions. We're getting married at a winery about 40 minutes away - I can only use the (very small) bridal suite there one hour before the wedding.
We can either get ready at my apartment (40 minutes away), my parents house (35 min away) or one of my bridesmaids parents house (20 minutes away). I was planning on doing my bridesmaids parents house because its the closest, but my mom will not be able to make it there before the wedding to get ready with us (this stinks, but isn't a deal breaker for me because she'll meet us at the venue) and hair is going to cost a little more because its farther out and a fee kicks in. How important is it to get ready near your venue? To me, it feels like it would be much more convenient to get ready closer to the venue (we're doing a first look there as well, and we won't have access to the suite yet so I do have to put my dress on prior). Sorry this is long!
