You just got engaged! Have you started growing your hair yet? One of the first reactions of most Omaha Brides is “I’m getting married, I need to grow my hair out!” So let’s talk about bridal hair.

The first thing you need to do is be sure you are happy with your current salon and stylist. If not, this is the time to change. If you want to make a change, start by asking your friends, the ones with great hair, where they get their hair done. If you see someone at work or at the mall with great hair, just go up to them and ask who their stylist is. Most women will take this as a huge compliment and gush forth with a name.

Hi, this is Miriam Moran of Omaha Wedding Video here at the DC Center Bridal Show talking with Tanya Siragusa from The White Lilac Studio (http://www.thewhitelilacstudio.com) about some tips she may have when it comes to selecting a photographer for your Omaha Wedding.

Tanya: I think it is really important that you pick somebody you mesh with personality wise. Your wedding photographer is with you all day, start to finish. It needs to be someone that you have a good rapport with.

Miriam: There are a lot of different photographers in town with a lot of different packages at a lot of different prices. What would you say to a bride about the cost of a photographer?

So you are planning your Omaha Wedding. And you have planned all those details. The ceremony, the reception, the caterer, the photographer, the videographer and everything else. Today we are talking about food. Not that great meal you planned for the reception, but your food. What else are you going to eat on the day of your wedding?

Here’s my advice, eat! It is so easy to forget about or just get too busy to do. When you get up in the morning, get up early enough so you have time to eat breakfast. Eat your normal breakfast or even better yet, eat something really filling. Something with some protein. Eggs, cheese, meat, are all things that will fill you up and keep you going.

As your planning your Omaha Wedding, one of the most fun parts is planning your honeymoon. Traditionally, most newlyweds take their honeymoon in the days after their wedding, but if you have a special occasion coming up, it is OK to delay your honeymoon a couple of weeks or a month or so.

The best possible honeymoon is something you love to do. If you love to sit on a beach and soak up the rays, consider one of the all-inclusive Caribbean resorts. All-inclusive usually means your room, your meals, activities, and even drinks! This can make an easy “no-decision” honeymoon for you and you don’t have to worry about how much you are spending, it’s included! Cruises are great in that regard too. You unpack once, you travel from port to port, meals are included, and you get to visit multiple places.

Something you may be considering as you plan your wedding here in Omaha is an outdoor wedding. First, pick your time of year carefully. Even though summer sounds great and is a great time to be outside, summer might not be the best time for an outdoor wedding because it could be 100 degrees out and you could melt your wedding party and guests.

And don’t forget to have a plan B. It could be too hot, it could be too cold. It could rain, or snow, or sleet or hail, maybe all on the same day! Remember, this is Nebraska!! That plan B could be the golf course club house or even a shelter at a park. Be sure you reserve it because you never know! Seating, be sure you have enough chairs set up for everyone you expect to attend. There is a real trend in outdoor weddings to just set up enough chairs for family and let the rest of the guests stand.
