My wedding day will be something I remember forever. Getting ready with my bridesmaids & family made it so special. The day started with breakfast with my mom and sister. We then met my bridesmaids at the hair salon where I got my hair and makeup done. The girls brought donuts and champagne for us to munch on, 2 of my favorites! I went with big curls and a white flower hair clip I got off Etsy that incorporated lace & pearls. For my makeup, I tried to go with more of a natural look, using gold & brown eyeshadow and peach lipstick. (Check out my trial photos below)

From the salon we headed to the wedding venue. By this time we were all hungry and one of my bridesmaids had organized lunch for us (so nice!) Once I ate, I started putting my dress and accessories on and before I knew it, it was time for the first look photos. The time just flew by...

My dress is a Wtoo Belize Gown from a Portland shop called Charlotte's Weddings & More. I loved the comfy, bohemian lace. I originally didn't want strapless, but once I tried it on, I fell in love. The sash is a guava color that matched perfectly with our neutral/blush color scheme.

For my jewelry, I collected pearl bracelets from friends, family, vintage shops & Target of course! I then just stacked them all up on my wrist. I went with gold pearl chandelier earrings that I already had. All in all, I think I spent $15 on my wedding jewelry... not bad.

My shoes are Toms in Ivory Glitter. I loved how comfy they were, but they did take some breaking in and easily got dirty.
