wedding photos & words : bridal party.

These photos sort of speak for themselves. This is us. And our best friends. Decked out in our wedding finest.

I remember saying about eight times HOW MUCH I LOVE THE ORANGE AND GRAY. The bouquets popped SO WELL off the gray dresses.

You'll notice the shoes and jewelry on my girls. I said, "do whatever you want, just not black shoes." I love that they wore colors. I love that they wore the kate spade bracelets (most colors are now sold out) I bought them as bridesmaid gifts. That was not intended but they looked rad.

Speaking of kate spade bracelets, I am so glad I bought that white one. I wore it during the wedding and throughout the honeymoon. I wear it most days now too. Every time I put it on I think of our magical wedding.

    I agree with the previous comment–after being a part of a few weddings myself, & although it’s nice & expected the bride as her dream idea in her mind, it’s always So Nice to let your bridesmaids enjoy the day for themselves, too… because too often you hear of the bride say, “it’s “my” day & I want things this way”, & stress free/good karma rarely comes to the bride due to that attitude, then more focus is put on the imperfections of the day! So it’s refreshing to see u had a “let’s have some fun & celebrate today together” attitude, & ur pics show–love it & congrats!

    I never knew that gray and orange look so good together. Are they your closest friends? Your smiles are genuinely sweet! Memories like this will surely last forever.
