So, we got back from our wedding last week. No honeymoon just yet - we'll most likely go to Croatia next summer, so don't feel too bad for us ;). We had such a great time seeing all of our closest friends and family in the same beautiful place. If it works for your families, I can confirm that a destination wedding is definitely the way to go! Hands down! We were able to have so much fun and spend quality time with the majority of our guests. It made the actual wedding day that much more spectacular and memorable.
My photographer
Alison White posted this photo to her facebook site, so I thought I'd share...
And yes, I wore a birdcage veil. I absolutely loved the vintage look of it! But instead of buying one of those expensive ones on Etsy, I found a really affordable one
here. I used those savings to buy the brand new Chanel makeup that I'm wearing in this photo. I went the "peach and spices" route, even though I was initially thinking dramatic red lips. The reason I changed my mind is that I just didn't look enough like myself with the super red lips and dark shadow. I've decided that look is better for a night out, rather than my wedding day (but if you feel comfortable in it for your wedding, please go for it! I'm just a whimp). Regardless of color, I ended up being very pleased with how my "face" lasted throughout the night. Go Chanel!
More wedding recaps (and many more photos) to come...
