Wedding Blog
A few months ago, fellow blogger and friend DIY Wedding Girl asked me to model some hairpieces and earrings for a photo shoot. I jumped at the chance, figuring I needed all the modeling practice I could get leading up to our wedding, since I have quite a history of “frozenface”… you know, that “I’m uncomfortable in front of the lens” look? Yeah, I’m a repeat offender. So, I thought some warm ups might be helpful, and it was super fun, to boot! Of course, it was pretty easy, given the great company of Siena and her fabulous photog friend Alexandra Breckenridge… oh, and the red wine helped too - ain’t no shame in my game!
Ah, the many faces of me:
Ivory open rose fascinator with white peacock earrings
Silk red rose fascinator with guinea feathers
Sexy peacock earrings
Satin chocolate fascinator with black onyx and feathers
The accessories are by Marla J Designs on Etsy - how cute are they? I had a lot of trouble giving the pieces back, especially those dope peacock feather earrings - rawr!
I highly endorse just playing around with some wine, friends and a camera if you’re photo-shy before your big day. It’s great for loosening a bride up, and it helps you see what angles work best for your beautiful face!
What do you think? Cute, no? Which pic is your favorite?

You’re such a ham, Mrs. Meatball! 
I love the second one — it feels so melodramatic-damsel-in-distress.
Good advice for the pre wedding play photoshoot - the trouble is finding someone that wouldn’t clam up taking photos of you long enough to get used to it! For now, I think I’ll keep on watching ANTM and practicing my top model poses 
I like the last ones, the darker ones.
Frozen-faced in fron the lens? You? I do not believe it!
You look great! I love the second one and the sixth one. Those peacock earrings are to die for!
You are so cute! That’s so much fun that you got to model those cute accessories!
i love the second and last one.. you are too cute in all! and i love those peacock earrings too!
That pick of you biting your finger is SUPER Hawt! You go Miss (er Mrs) Thang!
You look gorgeous!! Love the one with the peacock feathers! HOT!
The winking pic is my fav- but OMG- Those peacock feather earrings are incredible!
i like the first pic. i am in love with those white feather earrings!
The white feather earrings are divine! And so are you Mrs. M.
These came out great! I like #2, 3, & 6. #2 is the “I”m so stressed, poor me” but in a cute way, #3 just kind of looks mischevious - I like it! #6 is a really great pic of you and and a half smile….again mysterious looking. LOL I’m assuming that was after a FEW glasses of red wine. No matter, they all came out great!

About Me: I love melty cheese and diet coke almost as much as I love my man. I'm from Chicago, he's from NYC, and we both miss public transit and great pizza. We have an adorable muppet dog called Paco. I'm part hippie with a healthy dash of hip hop superstar, have excessive empathy for animals, and have not one, but two bionic eyes (long story). We're broke and it ain't no joke. It can't stop us from planning the bold and whimsical wedding of our dreams, but we've had to get pretty creative to make it work, yo!
