Hello, Hive!! Now that we have our professional pictures all in, I wanted to take you through the events of our big day. To remind you, we got married in December in Palm Springs. Here’s a look at how the girls got ready…
My Mom, Mother-in-Law, Sister & Grandmother and I were the first to arrive at the site (The O’Donnell House). We went straight into hair and make-up…

The bridesmaids were next to arrive. I really love this picture of two of my close friends, my Gram and me taking it all in:
Knowing that is was going to be a long day, I had arranged with the caterer (Le Vallauris) to provide lunch for us girls. They brought up delicious Chicken Caesar salads in Parmesan baskets! This is also when I decided to give the girls their bridesmaids gifts.
Our flowergirl and her mom were the next to arrive. Our flowergirl needed a bit of help getting ready…


Here are some of the girls getting ready…

I want to preface these next few pictures with the fact that I had managed (all three times) to put my dress on at the dress shop (Claire Pettibone) all by myself. When it came time for the big day, I thought that I should enlist the help of my bridesmaids. For whatever reason, it was a quite hilarious and difficult event. These pictures are just a hint of the struggle it was to get it on…


My Mom helps me put on my shoes…
