Three Days to Go!
My hostesses and me at the Spa
Last minute details include getting the wrinkles out of wedding clothes, blue fleece blankets for the ladies, wrapping the gifts for the young wedding attendants (in Bridal Bliss wrapping of course), decorating the flower girl baskets and their shoes with mom.
Paul’s gift from me has arrived via UPS at Fairwinds Florist from Frank Milwee Antiques and it is perfect! Tied up with the calligraphered note Lee Ann Clark did on one of our Save-the-Date cards and blue satin ribbons, it will be ready for Nate to present to Paul on Saturday at their breakfast with the boys.
Friend Cordia has sent us flowers to the Neuhauser home. They are beautiful and will be enjoyed by all of our guests.
Flowers from Cordia are now our dinner table centerpiece
Mom, Jane, Karin, Roz and I head to Northeast Harbor to meet Jill, Julie, Sam, Olivia and Shannon. Jill, Julie and Jane are hosting me for a bridal luncheon and spa! Lunch is at the local lobster house, The Docksider, followed by a spa day at Bella Spa. http://www.bellaskinandbody.com. As a gift from the three J’s, I had an exfoliation massage, manicure and pedicure. I highly recommend the exfoliation a few days before the wedding. It sloughs off all that dry skin! Favorite highlight was seeing Sam, Olivia and Shannon getting manicures! The Haenle ladies’knew it would be too hard to have a shower for me in Lockport, so this was there gift of a shower to me and was thoughtfully planned and just perfect. See the bridal flipflops and wine and pampering basket they greeted me with! Thank you so much for a perfect prelude to a wedding weekend! I am very lucky to get such good girlfriends in these women.

Olivia Gets Ready for the Big Day!
Getting Ready to Enjoy Tim's Chili-Two Kinds of It with Heather, LaVerne and Phil!
A walk down Main Street of Northeast Harbor takes us into Shaw Contemporary Jewelry. Here I find the perfect last accessory I need for the weekend–blue earrings for Friday night. www.ShawJewelry.com. Roz enjoyed looked at the unique settings they had on display for jewels of all types. Gorgeous!
Once back in Blue Hill, Mama Jo, Karin and I head over later this afternoon to my hair dresser’s house so she can meet Karin and Mama Jo and talk hair styles for Saturday. Melissa and her twin sister Rebecca do a great job with wedding hair and make-up and will come to you on the day of your wedding! You can be in your bathrobe and sipping coffee out of your own mug and have your hair and make-up done! We do this at our house and so do the Haenle ladies at their house.
Tonight it is the Haenles turn to make dinner. Tim, Julie’s husband has been working all day to make two kinds of chili to feed 18 of us now!
Evan and Tim him get Paul's Holt cigar's ready for Custom "H" labels!
Tip #25-Have your hair and make-up done at home the day of your wedding or wherever you are getting dressed!
Don’t run around, just sit and relax with your family and friends while sipping something yummy while they come to you!
Then the groom insists they try them out!
