From Ms. to Mrs. our bride Meghan Toumey wrote a beautiful post on us for Connecticut Bride recounting her wedding planning process. It makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside when we get to see amazing articles like this one. Meghan just said her I Do’s on April 20th so stay tuned for pictures from the big day. Meghan wrote, “I’ve hired Dana Bartone & Co. to do my hair and makeup for the Big Day. This weekend, I had my trial at their salon in Cheshire. Hair and makeup trials will cost you extra, but they’re definitely worth it to try out your look. Rena handled my makeup and Lauren did my hair. They both were great to work with and were extremely receptive to my desire to look like myself on my wedding. I also had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with Dana herself, who is so sweet! You could tell that Dana and her staff love what they do: Making brides look beautiful on their Big Day.”

Thank you Meghan for such lovely words! We are so lucky to have such amazing brides like Meghan. Click here to read Meghan’s post on Connecticut Bride and a few of her other articles about her wedding planning process.
