What did you do for wedding day preparations for bride and bridesmaids?

Our venue had a specific area we could rent to get ready in. It was two large rooms that were connected and a bathroom. The rooms had a bar, couches, tables with chairs, high chairs for doing hair and makeup, mirrors and water coolers set up. I would talk to your venue to see what brides normally do.

I just wanna get ready. Maybe a bottle of wine or champagne to chill before the ceremony starts.

Maybe upgrade to a suite at the hotel or for cheaper, see if you can rent and set up a meeting room in the getting ready hotel for getting ready with the girls.

We got dressed in the bridal suite of the venue. Can you use one of the 2 rooms you already have to get ready in? Maybe you and your girls in 1 room and your future husband with his guys in the other?

We're actually getting an Air BnB because it seems to be more cost effective. That way, there's multiple rooms and space.

Are you and your husband getting ready together? If not I’d say to have a room for you and your bridesmaids and another for him and his groomsmen. My bridesmaids and I got ready in my hotel suite, and my husband and his groomsmen got ready in his best man’s hotel room which wasn’t a suite but it was a very large room

I am having my bridesmaid get ready at my parent’s house. We have hair and makeup coming to us. My parent’s live about fifteen minutes from the church, so transportation will pick us up and drive us all down.

Our venue had a bridal suite. I'd rent another room to get ready in unless the room you have is big enough for everyone & your groom has somewhere else to hangout.
