| We clean up nice don't we? Top & pants are both from H&M. Clutch was a gift from my dear friend Stefani. To top it off, MAC lipstick in Russian Red! |
This is the one and only image from the wonderful wedding of our two college friends, Jeff & Michelle. It was taken with my fuji instax, which I brought intending to take way more "artsy" shots that you wouldn't normally see at a wedding. However, upon arriving, I realized that I just wanted to take a deep breath and be in the moment. Enjoying the love of friends is a truly magical experience. It really takes no effort at all to be happy at these kinds of gatherings, and seeing so many people from art school was just the icing on the cake.
I have another wedding to attend in less than a week and that is the wedding of my lovely friends, Daniel Levitch & Amber Clark. This time I'm in the wedding as her Maid of Honor. It's been a huge responsibility and I don't consider myself the most organized of people, but I've managed to pull it off some how. Phew! So happy I can do this for her. We have been through a lot of ups and downs together, which in turn has made our friendship very strong. I'm so happy I can be there for her. I love you Amber!
Here's a teaser...THE DRESS! I know it's in poor taste (not to mention bad luck) to reveal her wedding dress, so I blurred it out in photoshop. I will reveal the untouched photo soon after the wedding. It is beautiful and very Elizabeth Taylor circa "Father of the Bride".

Our friend and fellow bridesmaid, Emylie, took this wonderful picture of us during the bachelorette party.
Still tried to be glamorous. Little did everyone know that I was coming down with a cold. I reserved a private Karaoke room later that night at Soop Sok Karaoke! ( If you haven't been, I recommend. I discovered this place after attending my pal, Michele's, epic birthday there. ) I think it was after performing "God Save The Queen", I shot my voice and now cannot speak without it hurting. I sound like a little boy during puberty. It's tragic.
Time for some hot tea with honey and a little R&R.

Ha, love the blur. As one former Maid-of-Honor to another I must give you props as it is A LOT of work. Digging those red pants btw.
ReplyDeleteMichelle and Jeff's wedding was so gorgeous and it was fun to hang out with you two in the beauty of the Sierra Madre canyon. Glad to hear it all came together for Amber's wedding! Rest up and feel better lady!
ReplyDeleteNatalie,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! It IS so much work, I never thought it would be so intense! It is nice to know that it's all coming together and that her day is almost here! Hope I can get rid of this cold. Any natural cures you'd recommend?

ps: Those red pants were an impulse buy at H&M. Digging them so much this summer! Sigh....
Stef,
ReplyDeleteTheir wedding was gorgeous wasn't it? Seemed so effortless too, even though we all know that's never the case. Takes a lot of effort to throw a wedding. I will try to get my beauty sleep all day today. Hopefully this cold is just a passing fad.
