About Mrs. Cheeseburger

With my family and bridesmaids in place in the bridal suite, it was time for me to become a bride. :)

I had hung up my dress before we left to go to the hair salon. When we returned, she just seemed to beam in the gorgeous light filling the room.

My purple shoes got a lot of compliments on our big day. It’s funny how some trends are so well-known to brides planning weddings, but other people have never seen or heard of them!

I started by putting on my jewelry.

And then the moment finally arrived. My dad helped retrieve my dress from her hanger, and my mom and I unzipped.

And into the dress I went!

These next few pictures are some of my favorites and I can’t exactly pinpoint why. It was just the happiest moment for me - my mom was zipping me into my wedding dress. I was getting married to the man of my dreams. :)

And then, pure happiness, giddiness, excitement overcame me.

But my transformation wouldn’t be complete without donning my mother’s gorgeous veil.

Between fixing my hair and getting the veil in just. the. right. spot., this process took about 3 attempts. Here are my favorite shots of the process:

My mom and I somehow didn’t get a formal picture just the two of us, even though we were basically together the entire morning. It was kind of a bummer at first, but then we found this picture, and we’ve decided that this is our new-age portrait together. :)

With the veil finally in place, my crinoline was fluffed and it had happened - I was officially the bride.

Wow, you look stunning.
I love the purple shoes. My colors are eggplant and grey and I also plan to wear purple shoes. Your hand bag is gorgeous too. Would you mind sharing where you purchased it from? Are you looking to resell anything?

Thanks,
Venessa

Gorgeous! I agree with wedding trends, it may not seem like a new detail to you, but many guests have neevr seen things that seem pretty normal in the wedding world. I’ve seen tons of candy bars online, but people thought it was so unique and different when my sister had it at her wedding.
