Marissa Brennan narrates a wedding-day vlog covering two weddings across a weekend (one on the day of the vlog, one the next day). She describes her morning logistics and prep (setting three alarms, packing her kit, filling gas, checking traffic on I-95), arriving early, and mental prep routines (sitting in the car, breathing, pump-up music). On site she styles the bride and three guests with help from a second stylist, Hillary; she notes minor changes from the trial (no gems, tighter styling) and a lively bridal party with family from London. After the wedding she decompresses (Chick-fil-A spicy southwest salad), posts client photos, pays her assistant, goes to the gym, and readies for the next wedding.
Sam.
Happy Saturday. It is a wedding weekend. Wait a minute, it's Friday. Already got Saturday on the brain. I have two weddings this weekend. I have one today, one tomorrow. Today's wedding was a later start. Typically I am up and out of the house by like 6am for a majority of my weddings. Today's wedding, I don't have to be there until 9:45.
Blessed.
I'm doing the bride and three guests which is music to my ears. I have a second stylist helping me out, my girl Hillary. So she's going to be doing five guests. Tomorrow's wedding I am down in Center City and is a little bit more of an earlier start. So today's drive is only about an hour and 15 minutes which is not really far. We're getting ready at her parents house and I am so excited. Some of the things I did last night to prep for my wedding is I always set my alarm. I set three alarms for my wake up when I need to be in my car when I need to actually leave. So that way just in case I'm wrapped up with my dogs or distracted, the alarms will go off and I'll know, girl, get in the car. Time to go. I packed my kit, left it in my car, it is ready to roll. I filled up my gas last night because we got to stay safe out here. Typically I'm up so early, I'm not going to be at a creepy gas station filling up. Be safe. I also always look to see how far my drive that way I know when I need to get up. And since today is a Friday, I check for traffic. So I'll check like my exact location where I'll be going. The route I'm going to be taking 95 which in my area can get pretty backed up in the morning. It's around 8am so it can get pretty backed up. So I want to make sure that I leave a little bit extra time for that. Let's get this day started. Did I pass by the house and accidentally miss it and now I have to turn around? Absolutely I did. Just arrived. I'm about like 10 minutes early. So I wanted to share with you guys some things that I like to do before I go in for a bridal party. Especially if I'm early, I'm running late. Sometimes I don't do this however, I just like to take a couple minutes to myself, drink my protein shake that I have and just take a couple minutes to prepare myself to go into a really hype bridal party. So I want My energy to be hype and ready to go. So I try to take a couple minutes to let go whatever has happened within the drive up until I walk into my client's front door, hotel room, bridal suite, whatever it is, whether that's the somebody made me mad while I was driving. I don't want to go in with any kind of negative energy. I am a very positive person. I want to go in there with that positive energy. So no matter what happened, I like to sit in my car, take a couple deep breaths and just repeat to myself, I am so lucky that I get to do this. This is my job. And then I'll likely blast on my radio like some cardi b some pump up music just to like get me in the feels, get me in the vibe. So that way I'm hyping, ready to go. I'm gonna try to film for you guys. Still a little awkward bringing out my camera so I hope I can film some st and fun stuff for you. I'll see you guys in there. So now I'm going to do things. I think the dress. Yeah.
It'S. It's.
Welcome to my channel.
Please subscribe. It's okay.
Just wrapped up that wedding. Of course. I went to chick fil A. Southwest salad. Spicy southwest salad. Delicious. It's my go to. That was seriously such a fun bridal party. Especially for my first wedding back after being off. I sound like a broken record. Yeah, I was off. We get it, Marissa.
Nobody cares anymore.
Seriously, such a fun bridal party. Her parents and a lot of her fam. Most of her family was from London. Her dad came out in an apron that had like the naked guy with the speedo on it and he was serving everybody like the cutest little finger foods. It was just such a good time. Had so, so, so much fun with that bridal party. We actually switched up her hair a little bit from her bridal hair preview. We didn't put the gems in it. She's doing a second dress so she wants to put that in later. And we did it a little bit tighter than we did it at the tribe, which is totally normal. I feel like everybody wants to change something after their trial on their wedding day. Totally normal. So after weddings, my first stop is always chick fil a or chipotle. If I'm feeling kind of crazy, that's when I sit in my. Now I'm sitting in my car. We're gonna decompress for a little bit. 99 of the time. I'm gonna post my client my client's photos on Instagram. I'll pay my second stylist so that I can wrap up for the day, and then I get to prep for tomorrow's wedding. Well, the rest of today, I'm gonna go to the gym right from work. I'm gonna be heading there right now, so I'm gonna post all my stories, wrap up my day of weddings today, go to the gym, then go home and get ready for tomorrow's wedding than spending your day with me. And I'll see you guys in the next one.
