Daughters Prom - Special but Cheap any ideas

chardonnay_2

try ebay for the tiara or ask a friend who recently got married if she can borrow theirs?

our tk maxx has fantastic dresses (ball gowns) i wanted to buy them all, shame they don't fit. i've joked to hubby that when i am skinny i'm going to wear dresses like that everyday:rotfl:

got a beauty college nearby, they are always looking for models. she may get some stuff done free or cheap

hairdressers always look for hair models especially chains / fancy ones, if not on the big day perhaps she could steal their ideas & recreate the look with your help.

a lot of beauticians do homers might be a cheap way of makeup and nails being done.

What about taking her to Debenhams/Boots/House of Fraser (somewhere like that) where the various make-up counters can do a free makeover?? When i got married i went to the Estee Lauder counter and got all my make-up done for free.

wow pink butterfly thats a great idea - what i'd suggest is your daughter goes round the dept stores / boots/ lloyds pharmacies nearby and check the makeup the ladies/ girls are wearing and pick the counter who have the staff with the makeup most like she'd want to look like. obviously the cheaper options may take some time (going to and fro rather than someone in your house) so she may need the day off school? unless it is at the weekend.
