Wedding: Getting Ready!

After the wet weather on Friday night, we all awoke to a sunny and fabulous Saturday morning! :) I headed to my maid of honor, Sara's, house to meet up with the other bridesmaids to get gorgeous! Eric went to brunch with his guys and then they all met up at the wedding venue at around 2:30. Needless to say, we started several a few hours earlier than they did. 

Per usual, I had issues picking photos, so here's a ton. :)

Eric and his best man, Matt. :) Matt actually introduced us! Not sure if any of y'all knew that!

Beth's mom brought her adorable little twins by since they live in the same neighborhood :) Babies. Weddings. Mimosas. Pink robes.. I mean, I was pretty much in girly heaven...haha! 

I'm not a shoe person (I know- I'm weird), but I was kinda obsessed with my wedding shoes. :) Thank you, Amazon, for the awesome deal on these darlings. 

So handsome :) 

These pics remind me what Eric looks like sans beard. Let's just say no shave November has extended into December at our house. ;) I dig his look either way, but just funny to see him without a beard...

There are several shots of him like this one in the mirror and I love them all... 

I had such a good time getting ready with my girls. So lucky to have a stylist who is also my good friend who came over and did all our hair at Sara's so we didn't have to go anywhere...So so sweet of Candice! 

The morning started with just the girls and then and my mom and Eric's mom joined us at noon and my mom brought us all lunch. :) We did hair in one room and then Destry did makeup in the other... 

If you ever need a stylist, I highly recommend Candice at Parlour Salon on Brookside. Just saying.

Mimosas and clip in hair extensions galore (see Beth curling some in the background...haha)

And if you ever need a makeup artist, I highly recommend Destry at Glamor Artz. :) I have seriously been thinking of reasons to go get my makeup done again...haha.. I got it done so much last year for showers, events, engagement pics, etc.. and now I want it done more more more!

I was seriously SO happy all day... like genuinely so amped up and excited! Pretty sure I had the high beam mega watt smile all day long...the same one the lady at the DMV told me to tone down b/c "you're prettier when you don't smile so big..." (thanks a lot, DMV lady.. lol!)! But, I just couldn't help it!

 Makeup done. Hair done. Ready to roll! :)

Taken with my iphone right before we headed to the venue to get dressed! 

I really wanted a photo of all the girls in our robes, but honestly...we just ran out of time. We thought about it once we got to the venue, but I was like "eh whatever.. we have plenty of photos..." :) 
Anyhoo, I couldn't have imagined a better day getting ready for my wedding with my closest friends... Sara was so sweet to let us use her home and it just made the getting ready process even more fabulous and chill. It went SO FAST! I remember thinking "wow, we're starting really early.. I wonder if that's too early." No, it was definitely not too early. It was perfect. :)  Next up: pre-ceremony pics/first look :)
