Wedding Dress Preservation

I love my wedding dress. It is simple, elegant, me. My sister and I only went to two different bridal shops, and it was at the second one where we found my dress. After the wedding I knew I needed to get my dress cleaned AND preserved because I wanted to save it. You never know if a future daughter or niece will want to wear it or the veil. So off to the dry cleaners I went and about three weeks later I got the call that it was done. Here is my newly cleaned, newly preserved wedding dress.


I cannot get this photo turned, so you'll just have to tilt your head.


I'm very happy with how it turned out, especially knowing that it won't yellow or get ruined over time.

New Hair

Last year at this time I was growing out my hair, only getting a trim every few weeks in preparation for the wedding. Well, the wedding was over two months ago and my long hair just wasn't doing it for me anymore. Plus this past month has been rainy and humid, something that doesn't go well with naturally curly hair. So this past weekend I went and got a real haircut, with multiple inches cut off. I'm really happy with how it turned out and know my morning routine will be much easier.

Wedding Pictures: Getting Ready

Well, we finally got our professional wedding pictures back a few weeks ago and I LOVE them. I'm so happy with how they turned out. There is no way I'll be able to post all of them, so I'm going to split them up into different posts and only post my favorites.

To begin here are the pictures of us girls getting ready at the hotel. Enjoy!
