The Rhode to The Rest of Our Lives: The Girls and Mom Get Ready

After I had my "Muppet" hair up in the "Elephant," I sat over to the side and watched my sister do her hair and BM A's hair.  

My sister used extensions in her own hair to add volume, and BM A was kind enough to hold them out for her to style before adding them into her own hair.

MOH E then got to work on BM A's hair.  It was so great to be able to have a sister who was more than willing to help out by doubling as our hairstylist.  I don't think that I would have trusted anyone but her to do what I wanted on the most special day of my life.  

Since BM A met us at the hotel with her makeup already done, she just had to put on her jewelry before the final step of putting on her dress.  I loved the way that her hair came out.  It think it looked beautiful, and my sister did a great job.  

Making sure that BM A was all set, MOH E finished up her own hairstyle with my mom popping in a few bobby pins in the back.  The extensions really helped to give her volume in the side-swept pony style.  I wanted this to be about them as well, and I loved that my girls chose different styles that really fit them and their personality.  

MOH E laid out all her makeup on the bed and got to work, but it didn't take her too long to get ready.  Just a little foundation, some blush, and some mascara on her eyelashes, and she was good to go.  Such a natural beauty.  

And while my sister was doing her makeup, my mom was doing hers.  Another natural beauty, which explains where my sister got it from.  

Their makeup was so much easier than mine, as you will notice from the next post.  And with that, all they had left to do was put on their dresses.  I couldn't wait to see how the dresses all looked together!
