Maid of Honor Madness!

One of my very best friends recently got engaged (yay!!), and she chose me to be her maid of honor (yay again!)! Being the maid of honor is a huge honor, as well as responsibility. The MOH has many duties throughout the wedding planning process, as well as the actual wedding day. Here are some of the MOH duties: always be there for the bride, whether it’s to listen or to give dress advice, lead the bridesmaids (ie- make sure everyone has their dress, knows what is going on, provide them with the 411 on all wedding festivities), host or cohost a bridal shower, attend all prewedding parties, plan a bachelorette night, compose a toast….. and the list goes on! Basically, there is a lot of work that goes into being the MOH besides holding the bride’s bouquet during the vows! I am going to start writing about my MOH duties and how I plan to handle them. Join me on this exciting journey, and hopefully we can learn this MOH stuff along the way! In the meantime, here are some very sweet pictures of different brides and maids of honor.

“Pick your poison” at DryBar in the Shops of Highland Park

“No cuts. No colors. Just blow outs.”

Let your locks be pampered and played with at DryBar, a new blow-out bar concept in the Highland Park Shops of Dallas! This salon was originally opened in Los Angeles and created around the idea that hair looks better when someone else blow-drys and styles it. And no one should have to pay the typical $60 price to do so! DryBar offers a “menu” of five types of blow-outs you can order, from a Manhattan to a Mai Tai, and with the low $35 price tag! You can make an appointment online, or just drop in before a night out on the town. A perfect venue for a bridal party or shower, the company offers special pricing for parties and their in-house party planner will be “the best-looking event” your girlfriends have ever attended!

Spa-Ta-Neity will provide eco-friendly products to Fort Worth ladies!

Fort Worth will soon be privy to its very own eco-friendly spa and nail salon, SPAtaneity! Their primary focus is to provide the community with a healthier alternative than many of the spa’s currently in existence. With medical grade sterilization, waterless manicures and pedicures, aseptic techniques for at risk clients and diabetics, this spa truly has found a perfect niche! The brainchild of Missy Malone, the spa will grace the revitalized Southside, just minutes from downtown. After recently partnering with Baylor All Saints Hospital, the spa will now be able to accomodate all medical district employees and visitors! Even so, they do love a good spa party and their unique space will allow for such! For spa parties, they use the brightly colored and 3Free (free of toulene, formaldehyde and DBP) nail polish line called Cheeky Monkey, which allows girls to tap into their wild side! Perfect for a bridal party or even a little bachelorette get-together, SPAtaneity has something that no other spa in DFW can offer! According to their manicure philosophy, not all nails are created equal and therefore, each woman is given a nail consultation before their mani or pedi and a customized nail care regimen by Jessica Cosmetics. For the pedicure, they use the Footlogix line, which is the only “pediceudical” grade skin-care product for feet! We just can’t wait!
