Hotel Monteleone Wedding Prep

The day of a wedding can be pretty hectic. There are so many things that need to be taken care of and the different emotions that come through once the pressure is on. As anyone who's planned a wedding knows there's a lot of work that goes into getting to the big day, and all that energy comes to a head during the few hours before the ceremony.

One of our favorite aspects of a wedding is the prep. It gives us a chance to really get to see the personalities of our couples come out, as well as all the different emotions that have been building up to this point. It's awesome for us to be able to watch friends and family come together in the last hours before such a life changing event. 

We had a chance to spend a few hours with Margaret and Nick before their wedding. Nick's room was pretty laid back and relaxed (as the groom's room tends to be), while Margaret's room was buzzing with activity. Even Mocha was on hand to watch Margaret get ready. Everyone was super excited about the big night to come.
