Hey lovebirds! So, you've nailed down the dreamy venue, found the perfect dress and suit, and ticked off everything else on your wedding checklist. But hold on a sec – have you considered where you'll be getting ready for the big day? Trust me, choosing the right spot for your pre-wedding prep is a total game-changer! It can set the tone for the day to unfold & amp up the whole experience. Let's chat about why this decision deserves a little extra love and attention.

Setting the Vibe:
To begin, envision who accompanies you as you prepare for the big day. Are your closest friends by your side? Is it a shared moment with your mother? Perhaps your future partner beside you? Or is it just you, embracing solitude? The ambiance is shaped in part by the presence or absence of those around you. Now, where are you? Is it a swanky hotel suite, a cozy bed and breakfast, or maybe your family home. Your getting ready location sets the vibe for the entire day, so pick a spot that's totally "you." It's like setting the stage for your wedding adventure. P.S Grooms spots are just as important **

LIGHTING:
Proper lighting not only ensures that hair and makeup artists can work their magic flawlessly but also sets a mood of calmness and serenity for your wedding party. My top lighting tip? Make sure your chosen room has at least one big window. Think soft, natural light flooding the room, making everyone feel like they're in a cozy oasis. Good lighting isn't just for Instagram-worthy photos; it's about setting the stage for a day filled with love and joy. Whether the sun is shining or hiding behind clouds on your big day, natural light is a game-changer for capturing stunning photos. Don't forget to consider the colour scheme of the walls. Are you aiming for a bright and airy vibe or something darker and moodier? The colours of the walls can significantly influence the overall lighting atmosphere, so choose wisely.

Comfort is Key:
No one wants to feel like a sardine in a can while getting ready. Make sure your chosen spot has enough breathing room for you and your entourage to maneuver without constantly bumping into each other. Good lighting, mirrors for days, comfy seats, and some snacks – because no one should go into wedded bliss on an empty stomach! (Trust me, it'll be hours before your cocktail hour, gets some food in you)

The Feels:
Now, let's talk photos & videos – the stuff that'll make your heart skip a beat every time you look back. Why not add a sprinkle of sentimentality to the mix? Pick a spot that tugs at your heartstrings – Those emotional ties can turn your getting ready routine into a trip down memory lane, making the day even more special.

Dodging Last-Minute Surprises:
Imagine this: You're all set to get ready, and bam! No power outlets, tiny bathrooms, or worse – no internet. Yikes! Picking a well-thought-out location means avoiding these unexpected hurdles and ensure your prep time is smooth sailing.. Make sure you've got the practicalities covered: Are there enough power outlets to go around, just in case a fuse blows? Do you have sufficient mirrors for your party to get ready and for those last-minute outfit checks? Is there reliable internet for communication with your vendors and family in case of emergencies? And hey, don't forget to download those wedding morning playlists for some extra ambiance!! 

Conclusion:
The getting ready location, the unsung hero of your wedding day. It's not just a place; it's where the magic begins. Take a moment to choose a spot that speaks to you both, sets the stage for epic photos, and keeps the good vibes flowing.
