Bridesmaid Wedding Makeup

I was the matron of honor for my sister's wedding (because I'm married that makes me a matron, I guess). I've wanted to share this makeup look for quite some time. It's my favorite look that I've ever done.

My sister, our mutual best friend (Bree), and I went to a friend's house to have our hair done. We piled our makeup palettes, brushes, mascaras, fake lashes and God knows what else on her table. I wish I'd taken a picture of that disaster. It was so much more fun getting our hair and doing our own makeup, rushing to meet the photographer at my mom's apartment (we were late).

I think for bridal beauty it's more important to enhance your natural beauty than to blow it all out with a dramatic look. Ten, twenty, fifty years down the line you are going to want to remember what YOU looked like during the wedding.

Our friend, Bree, did my sister's makeup from a look we had both collaborated on.

My Sister's Wedding

Here are those pictures from my sister's wedding I promised to post a few months ago.

Enjoy.

My best friend, Bree, and I taking pictures while waiting for the "party bus" to pick us up. 

I love the makeup I wore that day. 

My sister and my mom. This picture of them is so sweet. 

My sister and her gorgeous dress. She and my mother made the veil. 

The family cat, Toby, looking freaked out by the cameras. Poor kitty. 

My brother walking my sister down the aisle. I miss him so much.. (RIP)

My brother-in-law seeing his soon-to-be wife. 

The church. 

This reminds me of the Bridesmaids movie cover, haha. 

The guys being silly. 

Group shot of the girls. 

I swear this was not planned. Waldo was downtown as part of a school's orientation game. 

My hubby and I. 

With my brother and sister. We were being heckled. 

The reception site (picture taken later at night)

The placecards. 

Picture of one of the tables. Everything was put together by the bridal party. There are mini patron bottles, candles, flowers, and mini satchels filled with Colombian coffee. 

Custom made cake topper. How cute is that?!

...which wouldn't have been complete without miniature cats, Toby and Iris (deceased), and the dog, Munchies. 

The cake....was fake! Except for a small piece in the back for cutting. This was handmade by my father and sister. 

We even put those straws together by hand. They each had little sayings on the cards. 

The dessert...

Did I mention the food was amazing?

Here's an action shot of me giving my speech and the newlyweds actually enjoying it! Job accomplished.

The sweethearts at the sweetheart table. 

The infamous dollar dance. 

I had no idea, as we were rushing around the bride and groom, that my mom and I had passed each other. 

Some silly shots in the photobooth.
