Mrs. Turtle's Picture
Mrs. Turtle, Central California Age and Occupation: 21, Art Student/Teacher Fiance's Age and Occupation: 22, English Student Engagement Date: August 16, 2008 Wedding Date: July 2010 Venue: Mr. Turtle's Grandparents' backyard, Arroyo Grande, CA About Me: I am a California girl who loves the beach and the mountains, but is quite satisfied living right in the middle where I can enjoy the best of both worlds. I am happiest when traveling to faraway places, wandering through museums, watching old movies, or baking up a storm. Mr. Turtle and I are high school sweethearts and fellow book nerds who both drive Mini Coopers and are most likely to be found browsing in antique stores. We're having so much fun planning our European garden wedding with a vintage twist and can't wait to share more of life's adventures together!
About Mrs. Turtle

In my last post, I reintroduced you to my fabulous bridesmaids and promised that I would show off our group portraits! Well, here they are in all their glory:

Our photographer staged this photo as a little nod to the avocado farm that let us take our pictures there…

I love avocados, but it was tough for me to hold it together while we were trying to act so serious about them. This is what I like to call my “awkward avocado photo.” Awkwaaard!

It’s fun to see that the dresses are such a hit! I think I’m going to start posting the info on them at the end of all of my recap posts since I keep getting the same questions, haha. :)
@janicegiraldo: They were $295.00. Pricey, but we decided they were worth it.
@Williams_delores: @nstier043: I’m pretty sure Down the Aisle has a web site, but Watters is a popular bridal designer, so there’s probably a store that carries the line close to you. It’s always nice to see the dress in person! Here’s the link to the dress on the Watters web site: http://watters.com/product.php?coll=watters&showid=983 And you can search for store locations on their web site as well! It’s funny, I think the dress has been out for a few years, but I’ve never seen it in another wedding. I’m always surprised it’s not more popular!

You all look so beautiful! I especially like the one’s where you’re laughing! You have a beautiful glowing laughing smile. I also dig your nod to the avocados.. that’s years of laughing at that photo!

I am totally in love with this location! And your bridesmaids’ dresses. And your dress. And your veil. And…well, just about everything! It looks awesome!

Great choice with the bridesmaid dresses! One of our BMs wore the same one in navy (each of our girls selected a Watters dress). Just as an FYI for others interested in that style…we ordered all of our Watters bridesmaids dresses from Netbride so we were able to purchase the halter style for about $200.
