The Wedding Chapter 1: Getting Ready

Hi guys! I’ve finally got back our wedding photos!!

Do you want me to share each and every one and tell you about them in grueling detail?  No?  What?!

Well, I’m going to show you my favorites, anyways.  I’ll try to separate them out into a few posts to give y’all a little break. But I’m bursting at the seams to share it with you, so you might just have to sit through it.  To be nice, you know…

So here is part 1: Getting Ready

I love this one!  That’s my mom in the background, decorating the chairs with fabric banners.  She was on a mission!

the dress

There she is.  My blood, sweat and tears.  I worked so long and hard on this beauty.

Oh, shoes….sigh….

my brothers

I love this picture because it perfectly captures both of my brother’s personalities.  I can just imagine the laughter in the room.  My mom is trying to ignore it, and my sister Isabelle is cracking up, too.  Just looking at it makes me laugh.

our bouquets

Our beautiful flowers.  My mother and some girlfriends helped make all of our bouquets and flower arrangements the night before.

the girls and mimosas

My mother, the bridesmaids and I made all of the floral dresses out of vintage sheets.  The girls wore victory rolls, and everyone who came in to visit us said it was like stepping in to the past!

We’re finally ready to walk down the aisle!  I gave the girls and my mother each a pair of vintage gloves, and I wore an old pair myself.  I borrowed mascara (does that count?), earrings and a clutch.  My ‘something blue’ you may have seen…

I can’t wait to share Chapter 2 and all of the little goodies I made!

Happy Weekend,

Brittany
