Weekend Rewind!

July 11th, 2007 @ 3:56 pm by Mrs. Emerald

My bridal shower was this past Friday! Even though the event was intimate, I know my girlfriends went through great lengths to make the night special, so that meant a lot me. I am still waiting for the official “picture-taker” to send me some more pictures, but here are the few that we took on my camera.

The yummy food… I loved all the candles, such ambiance!

Me plus my 4 (out of 5) bridesmaids. I am the short one in the middle, wearing the cute personalized apron (Mr. E and I love to cook!)

My dearest ladies…

My 16 year old sister, aka my Maid of Honor. She’s actually taller than me, but I made her sit down so she didn’t tower over me, haha.

I also had my bachelorette party on Friday night. Sorry, no pix from that will be posted, as I had to wear some interesting, uhm… “headgear.” But I was a good sport about it, and the night as a whole was a total blast!!

Hrmm… on another topic, I’ve really been re-thinking the whole makeup artist thing after seeing these pictures. I look rather ghostly, since my foundation is obviously too pale for my new darker summer skin tone. Yikes… and how do I get rid of my shininess!? I layered on mattefier AND Smashbox primer!  Any ideas?

Looks like a lot of fun! What does your apron say?

maybe you have too much stuff on. Try a dusting of translucent powder over it!
