We chose to go with a retro inspired wedding, which meant big attitude, BIG hair and EVEN BIGGER petticoats! Luckily, my girls were game about getting ready quite early in the morning and liked (or at least were gracious enough to pretend to like. I'm not sure which) their beehives. I won't talk about what we were all wearing till tomorrow, when you can see it better- but I will say when considering the dress we didn't think about one important thing. How I was going to get into or out of it with hair and make-up done? In the end, I had to step into it and put the petticoat on last. Awkward! But made us all laugh.

I love the shot w/ the shades and especially the picture of you and your sister laughing, or at least I think it’s your sis from past posts and because you two look so much alike with your big laughs! Such a sweet post.

Of course I love the beehive! Wish I could do it all the time :)
Reply DeleteYour photographers were so cute. I remember when they took your dress and shoes and run across with street with mischievous grins.
That was pretty intense to make a beehive for you! Buuuut.... I do have a tutorial on how to do them. Just so you know ;)

I love your getting-ready shots, the bridesmaid dresses look SO fun. i can't get over your retro theme! and did you get ready in a library? haha the only reason i ask is because i rellay like the shot of the dresses hanging off the bookshelves. it looks so pretty!

Haha- well, kind of! It is the sort of all purpose meeting room that I think doubles as the church's library too.
