Single Ladies, Bridesmaid Swag, and One Wedding Down

One wedding down... two to go! I absolutely had to share this clip from this past weekend's wedding. I regret not getting it all filmed, but the bride made me dance (and you don't say no to the bride on her wedding day, right?) I missed the part where two of the band members jumped off the stage and started doing the "Single Ladies" dance. It was as spectacular as you can imagine. (PS- this is the band Pistol Creek).

Also, I thought I was successful in my Bridesmaid Swag challenge this weekend. I had the purse from wedding 1, the bracelet from wedding 2, the hand sanitizer from wedding 3, wearing lotion from wedding 4, and the necklace from wedding 5. Only, then I got home and realized that I'd grabbed the hand sanitizer from wedding 4, not wedding 5 (both are pink and from Bath & Body Works). I think it still should count though, right?

Fall Wedding Season Has Arrived!

It's been awhile, and I've not yet completed my bridesmaid swag challenge. Maybe this weekend? We shall see.

Right now, I'm busy preparing for 3 weddings in 4 weeks. Thankfully, two are in town, and the third and final wedding is out of town by several hours. This first wedding, I was almost drafted into the wedding party as a 27 Dresses rule (thanks to the brilliant @27messes for this brilliant commentary on the bridesmaid draft). The second wedding is the wedding of a fellow bridesmaid, who has chosen a former bride to be her bridesmaid, and this bridesmaid is crashing with me for the weekend. As I am her driver for the weekend, I've been invited to all the events (oh yeah- I'm also the rehearsal photographer this time around), so I'll get to see what it's like to be a bridesmaid without actually purchasing a dress or having any real responsibilities. And the third wedding? Absolutely no responsibilities but celebrating in New Orleans. I think I can handle that.

By the way- if you have a Pinterest account, look for me! I've got boards about the dresses I can't imagine ever having to wear, the dresses I'd love to wear, some great wedding hair ideas, and more!
