So this postal service started equally but sharing the pajamas for the girls, but I decided why not just include the residual from the morn of us getting ready! Plus, these photos are amazing (I am biased), but you're going to honey it!!!

 All photography: Michael Justin Studio

Fun fact I woke upwards this morn alongside a huge swollen optic alongside a stye on it, in addition to I was similar wtf. If this were a calendar week before, I would convey been freaking out, stressing, crying... but it was literally the morn of my wedding, and I idea it was sort of funny.

My body was shutting downwards in addition to revolting against me, haha. But similar what are yous going to do?? I was compressing the crap out of it all morn alongside a warm washcloth equally I was sitting behind the kitchen isle equally non to survive seen yesteryear Andrew.

There are roughly photos where yous tin plow over notice tell, but I personally intend no i volition survive able to say unless I indicate it out. Thank goodness for makeup! Thankfully my eyelid was but to a greater extent than swollen thus a bump or fifty-fifty a stye head. We but identify the eyeshadow inwards just the right means lol.

The morn started alongside everyone getting their 24-hour interval of gifts (which I covered in this post). I told the girls to instruct changed in addition to instruct create alongside me inwards the bathroom. I switched out of my robe (c/o Roller Rabit) in addition to into my silk chemise in addition to pearl cape.

I knew I wanted something super elegant in addition to unique for getting create in addition to totally acknowledge to it beingness rattling extra, but similar if there's whatever 24-hour interval to practice it -- today is the day! I was looking all over on Etsy in addition to similar sites for something different, special, in addition to fun. I knew I wanted to practice roughly sort of robe/open gown/cape but but didn't know what!

Then I saw Amanda Jones on the Alexandra Grecco Instagram page wearing this amazing pearl in addition to tulle cape, and I but knew I had to convey it. To survive totally honest, it was completely unnecessary because it was very expensive and custom made... BUT I practice non regret buying it for a second. I went to Lovely Bride when they were having an Alexandra Grecco torso exhibit in addition to was able to instruct a small-scale discount, but it was nonetheless something probably not needed inwards the overall budget I had for myself. I intend I went abode that 24-hour interval in addition to listed a bunch of items to assist repose the hurting lol.

Since I knew I'd survive wearing the cape, I tried to conception for what I'd wearable nether it. I ordered silk PJ sets, a ton of dissimilar dresses (blue, white, long, short), in addition to ended upwards picking this silk chemise. It was an appropriate length, it felt proficient on, in addition to it went actually good alongside the gown! My runner upwards clothing was this midi from J. Crew Factory, but it didn't expect equally cute for the 24-hour interval of. But I did goal upwards wearing it to our political party dorsum at home!

In damage of accessories, I wasn't planning on wearing anything, but I stumbled across these beautiful Miu Miu blueish mules, in addition to I idea they would survive so cute as a piffling impact of blueish during the day. I patently did this without thinking because they turned out to survive similar 2 sizes smaller than my shoe size, but I didn't fifty-fifty realize it until a calendar month later the wedding! Go figure.

Then, yesteryear chance, I happened to purchase these Jennifer Bher earrings (because I liked them) nearly a calendar month or 2 before the wedding, in addition to they but seemed to stand upwards for perfectly alongside my novel shoes. So that's how the whole expect came together.

As for the girls, I gave them these Roller Rabbit pajama (c/o) sets, in addition to I LOVE how they turned out. When I was planning for the girls, I knew I wanted something different. I've seen all the robes out there, in addition to I but knew (from personal experience) I never wore them after. So I went to my PJ drawer in addition to gathered inspiration for what I honey in addition to use. Then I narrowed it downwards to either Roller Rabbit or Eberjey sets.

And I spent perhaps similar .2 seconds on the site before finding the Amanda Lulu Set in the most amazing colouring in addition to blueprint -- I but HAD to convey them!! And I'm thus glad nosotros did too. They expect fantastic inwards photos, are thus soft inwards existent life, and, most importantly, are comfortable. And for my mom, I gave her an Eberjey-esque laid from Target that she loved. I knew for the moms, I wanted them to survive dissimilar from the girls!

For my bloom girl, I got her this cute piffling this post earlier inwards the year. I but idea it would expect thus cute inwards her hair!

Once everyone changed, nosotros met upwards inwards my bath (which had amazing natural lighting in addition to was big plenty for us all!) in addition to started to instruct ready. We were listening to music, talking, laughing, in addition to but enjoying the day. I intend this was my favorite role of getting create too! Just having the girls alongside me was thus special.

As yous likely know, I did my ain makeup in addition to pilus for my wedding. That was e'er my plan, but I could non convey been happier that I did it. I honey how everything turned out, everyone was fine alongside it likewise (in damage of moms in addition to the girls), in addition to everyone WAS SO PRETTY!!! I experience similar nosotros all looked similar ourselves, which is what I wanted.

Just similar at my sister's wedding, I also did my mom's makeup. It was a particular affair we're able to practice together in addition to but convey that i on i fourth dimension to practice so. I gave her an all-natural (no powder) expect that but complimented her features without drowning her inwards cakey makeup.

I'm planning on having a makeup tutorial presently for what I used. For my hair, I pulled it dorsum into a mid-rise ponytail, in addition to my sis in addition to Caitlin helped braid it in addition to twist it around. I was sort of worried because I convey layered pilus in addition to every mode I do, I convey piffling hairs poking out. If I call upwards correctly, I got inspiration for this from Instagram (I'll convey to notice the photo), but I loved how the braid looked inwards a bun in addition to talked nearly it alongside my hairstylist, in addition to he agreed it would survive best. And that's what nosotros did!

Then nosotros snapped roughly photos, exchanged gifts, in addition to got into our marriage attire -- which I volition salve for adjacent week! Forgive me for taking thus long to instruct everything out, it's been a weird fourth dimension equally of late!
