I wasn't about to let her bluff me into anything if I hadn't seen how good they actually look first. 🙂 So, some girl on here was bragging about how one of her backup dancers did her makeup and she was totally stoked with the look. But get this—I heard through the grapevine that one of those dancers is actually pretty terrible at makeup... honestly, who knows? I wasn't about to take any chances on which one I’d end up stuck with! :P 🤣
Man, I really hope you snag that one with the killer makeup! Seriously, she looks incredible. 😉😉😉
Hey! Good luck out there! :P
I'm definitely pushing for a trial run first, so hopefully that'll help me make the final call. I just really hope everything goes smoothly in the end... Honestly, dealing with the in-laws is already wearing me down, and the real chaos hasn't even started yet...😱
Jason Howard5 said:So I booked Dragan Rašić! She’s got her own hair salon over in the Fire Station district, and she's doing both my hair and makeup. Honestly, everything I've seen from her is killer—I saw her work on some models, pretty sure they were from that Fashion Incubator program. My photographer actually recommended her for the shoot 🙂)
I might reach out to Jelen, though she’s probably swamped, just to see if she can point me toward someone good... ugh, and then there's the whole makeup situation... man! I'm honestly starting to get worked up about all this already.🙏
Christian Taylor8 said:It’s been a minute, but we finally got some things booked:
the Matičević venue,
The Beatles as the band,
a wedding at Lisa's place,
the light show,
and makeup by Darij (he did my makeup before and it was honestly flawless)... so we're making progress.
The biggest headache right now is the catering since it's an all-in package—food, drinks, tents, dessert, servers, refrigeration, the whole nine yards... I’d love to hear any recommendations or horror stories you guys have. So far, our top picks are Matičević and Grozd.
Is Darij coming over to do the makeup at home? Could you drop his number 🙂?
Maria Ramirez4 said:Look, here's my two cents... 😉
The cake was $17 lbs, but honestly? They weren't anything special. I've had way better. They're pretty dry and have that old-fashioned vibe, if you know what I mean. Maybe it's just me, since I'm a sucker for creamy cakes 🤷 😁
I've been at two weddings where they served those cakes, and nothing to write home about 🤷
I gave her a call yesterday and she told me it was a pound for $18, and then about $120 for the cakes, but for the wedding stuff, it's roughly $200 depending on what kind you're looking for... I think I might just grab a pound for us to try during the holidays and go from there...
Jason Howard5 said:Ugh, good luck with that! She's booked solid for basically the entire next year. I tried calling her back in September 2010 just to get my makeup done and she told me her schedule was already completely full.
Man, oh man... so who did you end up going with instead?
Hey everyone, does anyone happen to have a contact number for Jelena over at the Walmart in Indianapolis?? I heard from a friend that she is an absolute wizard with makeup... I'm looking for some serious recommendations if you know anyone else who’s good... help a girl out!
redhawk11 said:Hey, this is so interesting—my fiancé and I are actually having our wedding in a suburban neighborhood soon, and we've booked the VIVA band too! I was also planning on getting our flowers from Savannah since they tend to be more affordable than what you find in Columbus. As for the cake, I was thinking of using Doe's small local business in Joseph. I am so happy to hear that everything turned out so beautifully for you.
Does anyone know how much a pound of treats costs over at Dunda in Josipovac? thanks! ☕
Hey everyone, I’m finally making my official debut here! I’ve been lurking and reading through all your posts for quite a while now, but I finally decided to actually set up my profile today. I’m getting married on May 15th (which is super soon 🙂), so things are getting real! I’ve already checked off most of the big stuff—I’ve got the venue, the DJ, and even a photographer locked in... basically all the heavy lifting is done. What I’m really sweating right now is the dessert situation. Has anyone ever ordered cakes from Grandma’s Bakery? I’ve heard they’re pretty budget-friendly, which sounds great, but I’m dying to know if they actually taste good or if it's just a deal. If any of you have used them, please let me know! Anyway, I’m looking forward to getting to know you all, and I hope you can point me in the right direction. If there’s anything I can do to help any of you out in return, just say the word 🙂
