Mrs. Elephant's Picture
Mrs. Elephant, Dallas, TX Age and Occupation: 27, Financial Operations Analyst Fiance's Age and Occupation: 27, IT Student/Store Manager Engagement Date: March 29, 2009 Wedding Date: April 2011 Venue: The Tribute Golf Club About Me: I'm a Philly native creating roots deep in the heart of Texas. I might be a little obsessed capturing those Kodak moments of anything and everything (mainly on vacations). I've become more of a gamer thanks to Mr. Elephant, who I met online and can't wait to spend the rest of my life with. We are planning a wedding based on our favorite colors, blue and green, with a travel theme for 150 of our closest friends and family. Hopefully our long (2-year) engagement won't kill me!
About Mrs. Elephant

With my tears wiped away, it was time to get started on my hair and make up. The one take away from my hair trial was to make the bun a little bigger, which we accomplished by purchasing longer extensions. We made use of the first set of extensions by clipping them in for Mama E’s hair style.

Pinning in several bobby pins

I loved the added volume of my bun! Right around this time, our planner Kathie brought up the flowers for me to look over. I mentioned before that I am not a big fan of flowers, but I loved how my bouquet turned out. My late grandmother’s brooch on the front was the perfect something old!

I handed off my flowers so Vetty could get started on my airbrush makeup.

Probably shouldn’t try and talk when getting airbrushed

With the exception of wiping off so much makeup due to all of the dancing during the reception, I would say that my make up held up very well!

I love your bridesmaid dresses and that bouquet! I wish I could have had blue as my wedding color. But alas, it was not meant to be. I ended up going for a purple that sometimes photographs blue.
