Coconut Recap: Gettin’ Prettified

December 30th, 2008 @ 3:53 pm by Mrs. Coconut

The morning of the wedding was in a word, awesome. I was surrounded by the coolest women. My sister was my rock. My best friend, Ashley was my whip. The other girls were just marvelous, too. I could not have envisioned a better start to my first day of marriage. Makeup and hair started early and on time. I had pre- loaded my iPod with some chill tunes and brought my sound dock for around the clock music: Bob Marley, The Beatles, Jack Johnson, The Decemberists. It definitely set the tone for the morning. The best morning.

(All professional pictures taken by Jason Angelini. There are some non-pro pictures sprinkled in here as well.)

My bridesmaid, Kelly and my sister, Sarah. Check out their cool monogrammed robes! That was part of my gift to them!

I had food delivered to the suite. It was delicious. See those “S” monogram cookies?

I ordered some custom Meli and Angi cookies for each bridesmaid a la Mrs. Canary.

I had to provide my girls with a little bubbly, too. I got this idea from the famous mrs.pootiekins, aka Sarah K. Chen!

Right before I got dressed, we exchanged our gifts. Mr. C writes the most romantic cards. Can’t you tell?!

Hello Mrs. Coconut,

I stumbled upon your blog a few months earlier as you were one of the few brides who was getting married in the same venue as me. I am having my reception in the Magnolia Building and was wondering if you could share some more information with me regarding the layout of the reception. I would totally appreciate your guidance. My email address is lesluv13@aol.com

Thank you and congrats to you and Mr. Coconut! Your wedding was just beautiful!
