Today, right now…. Laura is walking down the aisle to marry Nathan!!! I had the best time hanging out with Laura and her mom & aunt at the Duke Mansion in June. Laura had a definate vision of what she wanted her bridal portrait to be…. beautiful & southern 🙂 The Duke Mansion provided to perfect backdrop to Laura and her beautiful gown. I want to take a moment to talk about bridal portraits. I didn’t do one. Why should I do one? I want all the photos on my actual wedding day. BIGGEST. REGRET. Not ever having been a bride, I didn’t fully understand how crazy your wedding day is…. there really is not extra time to prance around in your beautiful gown having your photo taken. I have a handful of great photos that my photographer took of just me before the ceremony, but I wish I’d taken the time to have a full session done. You get to play princess on a 2nd day, MUCH LESS stress on your actual wedding day, and you’ll get all those photos you, your mom & grandma all want of you! You’ll also have a perfect opportunity to test out your hair & makeup artist and your florist for your bouquet! AND… an added bonus (and quite possibly the most important factor) you’ll get to know your photographer. You’ll understand how the two of you work together, things will only go that much smoother on your wedding day and you’ll be more comfortable in front of the camera. Rant over. On to the photos! Congratulations Laura!!

With the recent purchase of my new wedding attire…. it’s got me thinking about winter…. I certainly don’t intend to rock a strapless Lilly dress in the winter. This morning while perusing my daily blogs, I discovered this… some of the new fall J Crew pieces….. Hello, pink (bright dahlia) mini pants! Freaking adorable…. now to wait for them to go on sale!
