-get FG dresses (already picked out though)

Ok, now I know why trials exist. I was going to use the girl who did my hair for my cousins wedding on friday, however, I HATED everything about the way she did my hair and had to pay $100 to boot! I did however book the girl who did my cousin hair, it came out gorgeous! I am also still battling with traditional vs airbrush makeup, my smile lines kind of cracked and I felt self concscious about it all night
