Elopement Hair/ Make Up/ Dress

I guess it depends on what you want to do, such as sticking with traditions of not seeing each other, etc.

For our commitment ceremony I had my hair done at a salon, I did my makeup myself because I couldn’t find a makeup artist and really didn’t have time to have that done. We were in such a scramble getting everything together at the last minute (my dress was literally altered the day before), FH had his suit tailored a few weeks prior so he was good to go. He was basically dressed when I got home from the salon. I had a bag ready to go so we packed up the car and went together to his parent’s house where we did the ceremony. I got ready there (makeup & dressed; FH helped me into my dress), and we casually entered together hand in hand. Now for our Minimony I’m not sure what we will do. I will get ready separate and the plan is to go together to the venue so we will obviously see each other beforehand, but I want to make more of a “first look” whether he waits for me at the bottom of the stairway, etc. Our vow renewal isn’t he Spring is going to be more of a surprise and a larger event so we want to wait to see each other until I walk down the aisle. We both want to be surprised then.
