SNOW!!!!

Unless you have been living under a rock, you were aware of our recent blizzard that fell on the weekend of December 18-20th. While many people were able to stay in, relax by the fire and have a cup of hot chocolate, the team at Up-Do's were up bright and early to travel to our brides! As a bride, you know the amount of work and planning that goes into a wedding. We knew for sure that our brides would not cancel their dream day affairs! We were so proud to have all of our brides on time and ready to go despite the large amounts of snow falling and sticking to the ground! It's always wonderful to hear back from our clients and our blizzard brides were so wonderful to work with! I can't wait to see their gorgeous winter photos!  Here is what they had to say about us: 

Ashley & Erica did an amazing job on the hair and makeup for me, my wedding party, and even some last-minute family members. They were both great to work with, and they made the whole process so much fun - we all had the best time getting ready. We all looked gorgeous when they were finished, and I received so many compliments on my makeup and bridal updo for weeks after the wedding!  Thank you for everything!!"  -- Ashley Daniels Schall 12.18.09

I cannot possibly give a high enough recommendation for Ashley and her team!  Since the time Ashley and I scheduled my trial several months ago, she has been professional and accommodating.  My trial went wonderfully and really put my mind to ease.  Ashley was in periodic communication leading up to our wedding day to make sure all my questions were answered and that my bridal party and I would be set the morning of the wedding.

The night before our wedding, the biggest snowstorm in the past 70 years began to hit DC. 

While we were at our rehearsal dinner, Ashley left a message on my cell phone saying that she and Erica would still be at the hotel the next morning to do hair and makeup for my bridal party and me.  Ashley said not to worry- that the snow would be beautiful in our pictures and that she would see us in the morning.  Her reassuring voicemail (amidst voicemails from other vendors canceling!) was wonderful.  To have such a talented and sweet team working with us was such a pleasure!

The morning of the wedding, Ashley and Erica arrived EARLY despite the snow emergency in DC.  Their work was truly incredible.  My hair and makeup were better than I could have imagined.  Everyone in my bridal party loved what they had done and everyone’s up-dos and makeup lasted all night – even in the snow! 

Ashley and Erica- THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

We had a great day and feel so fortunate to have worked with Up Dos for I Do's. Mindy and Danielle were awesome. Not only did they make it out in the crazy weather, but they did an amazing job. Everyone looked and felt great. I couldn't believe my hair and makeup lasted throughout the blizzard and through the entire ceremony, reception, and after party (into the wee hours of the snowstorm). I cannot say enough good things about your services. Thank again for everything!

....and here is a photo because I can only blog if each post has a photo :)

After running around and driving in the snow and ice, we took our little girl outside for her first blizzard! She really didn't know what to think of the snow!
