Wedding Reccomendations

[jayne67 10]

So, its now less than 15 weeks to my wedding, and I still need to arrange hair and make-up, flowers and cars!....I know, I know, I'm cutting it fine, but I'm not the most organised person!

 

What I am looking for is a hairdresser that has experience of wedding hair styles, for myself, mother of the bride,two adult bridesmaids and two children....and make up artist for said people.

 

I only need 1 wedding car big enough to take Mother of the bride, and 4 bridesmaids, then return for me and my 'giver awayer' (we only live 5 minutes from Church....)

 

And finally wedding flowers. Again, for me, the bridesmaids, and buttonholes/corsages for about 24...I don't need venue flowers as these are being provided by the church.

 

Can anyone recommend anyone, or are you a business that can help?

 

What I don't want is fuss, fuss fuss!! Simple straight forward help please

 

Thanks

I can help with your hair accessories if you don't have those yet and / or a fascinator for your mum.

Hi there, I wonder if Betty Simmonite the florist is still in the castle market in Sheffield. She has years of experience. Alternatively, florascope at Firth Park have a great range. Good Luck.

We're using Flourish on Crookes and have found them to be really reasonable prices

I have ordered lots of flowers since booking and they've all been great!

If you don't want fuss do your own make up. I'm a bit of a stress head so I couldn't cope if I didn't like my make up or it wasn't to my taste on the day so I did my own. Saves money and saves on stress.

 

I also couldn't cope with being messed about or let down by a different hair dresser so I took my bridesmaids and myself to my regular hairdresser. I went in my own car and parked just outside the shop. I did try out my hairstyle in advance as I had a really long train veil which needed to stay in place in my fine (very soft, slippy/silky) hair.

 

forgot to add.....

My sister in law had a smallish wedding close to home. The ceremony and wedding 'do' was at the same place. We had a nice car so we put ribbons and bows on our cars and drove them ourselves. We weren't doing it for a fee so no problem with the car insurance. Can't you get a relative with a nice car to ferry you to the church?

We had our flowers from The Flower Bowl in Hillsborough - they were excellent and have plenty of sample photos on their website.

Orchis Floral Design for your flowers - literally the loveliest lady!

[retrorainbow 10]

Valerie of Dore florists for the flowers and Laura's vintage limousines for the cars. Couldn't recommend either of them highly enough!!! Both got facebook pages so check them out

[jayne67 10]

Ok, So I've got my flowers sorted (Sarah's) and my car (5th Avenue Limos - 3 hours hire for 230.00 including Ribbons, bows and bubbly!) I think we have our hair sorted, our regular hairdresser is going to do it, although we have to travel to her, so that just leaves makeup I think...

Thank you to all who have replied, just over 4 weeks to go! Eek...
