YuseffandRachelleDay: The Preps at the Tiny and Big House

9/12/2015 09:37:00 PM

The few days leading to the big day was quite hectic. The original plan is to be done with majority of the details 1 month before the day so we could relax. When that didn't seem feasible, I said to myself, 2 weeks. I'll give us 2 weeks to relax so we should be done by then. HAHA. Who am I kidding? We're still doing something a few hours before the wedding! I'll give more details on the DIY/Styling posts because we tackled a LOT. But it was fun and ultimately satisfying. Anyway, since this post is about the preps and some of our photoshoot, I'll talk about those.

Early on, we decided to have Yuseff's prep here at the Tiny House. We have fixed and renovated so it's a shame not to use the space. Another bonus is you get to see a preview of the almost done house. Haha

Since my brother, one of the groomsmen, didn't get to join them at the Tiny House shoot (He's at my prep venue for our family shoot) they did another round at the venue before the ceremony.

BRIDE'S PREP AT THE BIG HOUSE

I knew from the start I wanted a nice house to be my prep venue. I don't want to do it in a hotel since it will just be me for make-up (the girls did their own), and I wanted to have a great backdrop. I asked  if I could use my uncle's house for prep and they generously obliged. So thrilled since they have a big beautiful house with a nice garden area. 


My attempt at being sexy.. hahaha

And being serious...

I'm happy with our prep location since it really suited our look. The boys have the vintage vibe that totally matches the Tiny house, and bright bohemian for the girls which is perfect to shoot at the garden of the Big house. 

I've been worrying about rain since these days, it comes and goes. You just never know when it will pour. But everything turned out perfectly since it didn't rain the entire time people were outside for the shoot and cocktail hour, the rain came when everyone's inside for dinner and for that we're super grateful. Anyway, there's a lot more to that day, and I'll share those next. I just can't believe it's finally done, those 4 months of preps and then one day, it's over. I can't imagine how I would feel if we have more than a year to prepare. Haha.. 


(Photos from The Wedding East. They are our official P/V, and we got all raw photos the same night. Editing by me, but honestly, there's not much to edit since the raw photos came out great. I'll give proper review on another post.)
