It’s time for the 6th installment of our 2017 Best of Weddings – and this time it’s the Getting Ready!

The getting ready time can really set the tone for the day. We encourage couples to set aside enough time that they won’t feel rushed and that they can enjoy time with their family and friends and even get a chance to eat before all the big events of their wedding day.

We love the realness of getting ready – the inside jokes shared between friends, the stories from years past, and especially the quiet moments of reflection on what is about to happen. In the Getting Ready collection you’ll see hairstyling, makeup, putting on the gown, adorning jewelry, reading notes and readying for the wedding day.

What is your favorite part of the wedding day getting ready? Tell us in the comments!
