What To Wear To A Summer Wedding

Can you believe that wedding season is in full swing? I'm still stunned that my one year anniversary passed two weeks ago, and one of my dearest cousins got married this past weekend after years months of planning our weddings together.

When figuring out what to wear for any wedding, it's always helpful for me to take in to account all aspects: the location/venue, weather, guest list, time, and how formal the wedding will be.

My cousin's wedding took place in southern California thisclose to the beach during a warm evening, and I knew I wanted to wear a pleated dress, so when I found this pleated BCBG maxi dress, I snatched it right up for the wedding.

Formal enough for an evening wedding? Check.

Will it keep me covered and warm enough? Check. 

Season appropriate? Check.

Pleated dresses are among Spring and Summer's (and Fall '12!) hottest trends. I love how girly pleated dresses and skirts are, and I really love the light, ethereal look pleated dresses provide.

I wore some blingy Forever 21 earrings, my wedding bracelet, and borrowed my Grandmother's diamond necklace with the dress.

Now onto planning what to wear for three fall weddings (during the same month!)...

My Week in iPhone Photos

I saw these amazing, humongous cupcakes at The Malibu Country Mart. The photos don't do them any justice, they were the size of a small cake!

Beautiful day at the beach in Malibu. Each time I go to So. Cal I always have to go to Malibu. It was 85 degrees the day we went, perfect for spending the day at the beach.

The reason I went to LA was for a sample sale at Winnie Couture, but I was not successful there. I did find my dress at another store, which I am super excited about!! I am super picky about beading and details, so I bought a dress that does not have any beading and I am going to have the beading portions of the dress custom made. Unfortunately it won't be until next May that I get to share it on my blog. =(

Happy Mother's Day

My Week in Photos

I got the idea from Tiffany to start posting iphone photos from the week so you all can get to know me on a more personal level, and so I can remember everything I do in an organized manner. Please let me know if you hate (or love) this idea...
I figure it's also a way to enforce the "one a day/project 365" rule I'm trying to live by this year.

First up are some practice engagement photos that my friend took of Chris and I in San Francisco over the weekend. These were taken at the Legion of Honor; when we arrived we saw four brides being photographed! If you look closely you might be able to see one in the background.





...Onto the iphone photos...
I was sitting in class dreaming of going outside. Such beautiful weather.
