Where are you getting ready?

The venue said I get the bridal suite 1-2 hours before our ceremony starts. It's a destination wedding for us so I will be in a hotel the day before and day of. I'm thinking of the logistics for getting hair and make up done. Should I do those things in the hotel room and just slip into my dress at the bridal suite? I don't have a bridal party so most likely will just be my mom and FH's sisters getting ready with me.

Where are you getting ready? Home, bridal suite or hotel?

    I got my hair done at the salon, then got dressed at the venue.

    My MoH, BM and I will be staying at a hotel the night before. I secured a late check out, as it's normally 11 but we won't be leaving until 1pm. Hair and makeup will be coming to us, as well as the photographer and videographer. I'll also be putting my gown on there. Head straight to the park for first look pics and other formals and then to the venue for the ceremony and reception.

    I got ready in our suite at the Golden Nugget. He got ready in his parents' room.

    I had Makeup in the 702 come to my suite to do my hair and makeup. They were great. Two women came at 3:00 and they were done in an hour and everything lasted all night. (They came the day before to do a trial run so everything went quickly on our wedding day.)

    My mom, sis, and friend (we didn't do a BP) came at 4:00 and helped me into my dress. I was told to be ready by 5:00 for the chapel's limo to pick us up for our 6:00 ceremony.

    My venue has getting ready rooms...though no showers...so we will probably be there early in the morning, then go home or the hotel, and back to get ready. Lucky it is close to us!

    We are having a beach wedding, and the condos we stay in are walking distance from the beach, so we are getting ready in our rooms. FH will get ready in our room, and me and BM will get ready in FMIL's room!

    We're looking for a new house together so it all depends on where I'm living next year!

    What's with these venues not giving access until an hour before? Not like anyone else is using it if it's on-site lol. I think I will be getting my makeup done elsewhere, then getting my hair done at the venue. Luckily we get access at 10am (ceremony not until 5).

    I hate that if there is no wedding before us we still only get the room for a few hours prior. With that being said - we're all doing hair and make up at the hotel, then when we're allowed to go to Wedgewood I'll change into my dress there and do the finishing touches on everything. Plus I have a photographer for when we're getting ready so I really need to figure out those details. I wish we could have the bridal suite longer.

    @Angela, that sounds like what I was planning to do. We only have the photographer for 6 hours so I was thinking she could just meet me at Wedgewood to get a few "getting ready photos" while I do the final touches.

    Last time I checked, we were still the only wedding that day. There are a few more that weekend but it looks like we may be the only ones on our date Smiley smile

    I'm getting ready at the hotel. I'm renting a suite for me and my girls and we'll do hair, makeup, and get dressed there. Then limo to the photo location (which is outdoors, not possible for me to get dressed there), then on to the church after that.

    Got hair and makeup done at the salon. Then finished getting ready and dressed at my parent's place. Limo picked us all up from there to go to the church.
