A.
Weekend.
It was a busy 3 days, but all of it was worth it because this lady is now a "Mrs"!
We kicked the wedding weekend off with a perfectly girly luncheon at Into My Garden Tea Room in downtown Plano. I've lived most of my life in Plano, and yet I had never been here. The food was phenom. I will be back.
After lunch, we all got pedicures and then walked to the rehearsal at Old Red Museum, which is where the wedding and reception was held.
The rehearsal dinner was at Texas Land and Cattle and after the dinner we all went out to a local bar for some drinks and what eventually turned into a dance party:
Thanking every body for coming. |
Shots and later, a dance party |
That's my head poking out behind her |
All of us with Courtney before we put her in the dress. I guess this picture is out of order. |
The wedding was beautiful and the reception was so much fun. Proof:
The cake:
side note: if my future husband tries to smash cake in my face, divorce papers will be drawn immed. I will kill him. |
I had some pictures I took on my phone after I did her make-up for her bridal portrait session a few months ago. I couldn't show you before, but here they are:
She truly was a stunning bride and was glowing all weekend. I hope my wedding (when I'm 80) is just as fabulous.
Now I have exactly 31 days until I fly to Vegas for Kristina's vows. After her wedding, I better be on a wedding hiatus, so none of my best bishes better get engaged any time soon. I'm not kidding.
she was a gorgeous bride. love her dress. and you look so sassy and pretty!
ReplyDeletei just realized the other day that i'm pretty sure the next wedding i'll be in will be my own. i think all my BFF's are done getting married. i'll be 80 as well. weddings will probably be obselete by then.
So pretty! I love her dress.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous bride! I love her dress!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I love bridal portraits at Old Red. The staircase is perfect.

Her dress is beautiful!! And now I want to visit Texas! ;) And if I were to ever get married make you do my make up.
ReplyDeleteAnd, of course: VEGAS!!!! YAY!!!
We're waiting...
That dress is beyond gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to a wedding in a looooong time, so I'm living vicariously through all these weddings that you go to :)
Your hair looked super pretty!
What a fun weekend! She was a gorgeous bride and I am in LOVE with her dress! Happy Monday
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this wedding! The dress, the bridesmaids, the flowers... its all gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHer dress is so gorgeous! She made a stunning bride! You look pretty hot, too! :)
ReplyDeleteyou look beautiful as always! and she was a GORGEOUS bride.
ReplyDeleteSo you ended up leaving your hair down?? I probably would have done the same thing out of laziness after a long night the night before ha. Everything looked fab!!
ReplyDeleteLove that museum! I work at a museum and the weddings that take place there are some of the most beautiful I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about the cake. If I pay someone to fix my face and you smear cake all over it ON PURPOSE I without doubt would KILL you. I will have this talk before nuptials are exchanged to save the man from embarassment!
ReplyDeleteSounds like an amazing wedding. Love her dress and you looked hot as per usual.
ReplyDeletehopefully your future hubs will know not to smash cake in your face. i bet he will.
ReplyDeleteglad you ladies had a good time.
ah!! I have only went to my cousin's wedding! I want to belong in more weddings to come!
ReplyDeleteYou did a beautiful job! I LOVE it all and congrats to your lovely friend she made a BEAUTIFUL bride and you looked AMAZING! ;))
So . . . I am 30 years old now, and I think that my bridesmaid fury has died down. Because I grew up in the south and people get married young! I've been a bridesmaid six times and I am very happy to announce that I've reached a lull . . . I love attending weddings, but I'm so happy not to be IN them!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty wedding! I love her dress and the cake!
ReplyDeleteYou looked great! Love the hairstyle :) Glad the wedding was a blast! xoxo
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, it sounds and looks AMAZING. her dress was stunning. so happy you had a blast. loved this post, hun. xo

LOVE her dress. And I totally agree about the cake thing: my husband knew better than to even try. Why would you want your brand-new wife to have cake all over her face?!
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous bride and gorgeous bridesmaids! Sounds like it was a fabulous wedding weekend! Their little carriage is absolutely adorable :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bride! I love the pictures of her on the staircase...so pretty.

ReplyDeleteMendi @ Her Late Night Cravings
wow she is gorgeous! i love that belt she added onto her dress. and those shots of her on the staircase stunning
ReplyDeleteSOOOO PRETTY!!! And I love that photo of you with the mask. :)
ReplyDeleteshe looked incredible ... what a gorgeous dress she had on her! and from what i could see the bridesmaid dresses were gorgeous too!
ReplyDeleteloving the picture of you with the mask!
she is a gorgeous bride but the real thing that stands out is how sexy you are in that mask! Damn I bet the men folk ask you to keep that on during the act, huh? Will you wear it when you come visit me?
ReplyDeletewe did the hand holding thing before our ceremony, made me more nervous I think, but the photographer got a picture from the outside, so we are both in the pic, holding hands, but can't see each other because of the door (if that even makes sense)
ReplyDeletegorgeous bride!! (and wedding party)=)
She looks gorgeous! The cake looks gorgeous! & you in mask photo, 2nd favorite photo of you. The 1st one, you as VS Angel.
