Hi ladies! I hope everyone is enjoying this gorgeous day!!!! For all of the ladies getting married today, I wish you a wonderful day and a lifetime of happiness!

So today's question is, when deciding what dress, makeup, hairstyle, DOJ, etc. did you consider FH's taste or did you strictly stick with what YOU liked/wanted?

I have to say, usually I just do what I want when it comes to hair, makeup, jewelry, etc. and I did this with my wedding dress, shoes, DOJ and veil and headpiece, but, when it came to hair and makeup I really thought about what FH would like and expect to see, it seems odd to me, but I know he likes my hair down, so I'm going with a down hairstyle even though I'd love to have it off my neck and all and as far as makeup, he cannot stand makeup and would prefer I don't wear any, I obviously won't do that for our wedding so I just stuck with my usual minimalist makeup, enough that I look and feel glamorous but not too much that I look overly made up.

We are lucky that FH and I have very very similar taste~
When we were newly engaged I would show him dresses and ask his opinion and he was VERY diplomatic and said whatever I chose would be amazing. He hasn't seen pics of my dress, although he knows it's blush pink...he's seen my DOJ though.

What's funny is when I told him I was wearing extensions for the wedding he was like 'NOOO Don't do the stripper hair!' LOL I promised him it wouldn't be stripper-esque. Considering my hair just reached shoulder length, it will be a bit of a surprise to have the extensions in. But I DID take him into consideration with the hair a bit.

What is going to be a lot of fun, though, is to see FH's face when I walk down the aisle. He is not prepared at all-because when the whole ensemble is on, with the veil, I'm a BRIDE, and he thinks it's going to go a totally different route. I showed his cousin a pic of my fitting, and she said he's gonna be crying

I definitely tried to make myself up in a way that DH would appreciate and enjoy! I showed him my dress the day I got it, and he loved it from day one. I had minimal makeup, although I did have lip gloss even though he hated that (one of my favorite pics is me wiping lipstick off his face and him making a face at me about it -- when I get the proofs from the photog on dvd, I'll show y'all).

I like when he's happy and he likes when I'm happy, so it was easy for both of us to be happy with my looks on the day of. I went with my hair down as well since we both like that.

I definitly considered DH's favorite styles and things. I had him look through pictures and sites to get a feel for what he liked.

I wanted to walk down the aisle and have him say, 'wow, theres my beautiful wife'...not, be thinking, 'oh my god, what the helll is that?'...HAHA.

But thankfully we have the same great taste
