Since getting engaged I haven't fully taken the 'leap' into crazy wedding planning (like, at all…) but the one thing I have spent a lot of time thinking about is vintage bridesmaids dresses! I've known for a while which pals I was going to ask to be my special ladies on our wedding day, but I wanted to ask them in a sweet and memorable way. At our cupcake tasting we surprised them with these little candy jars and "Will you be my Bridesmaid?" messages.
My bridesmaids are… Sarah, Rachel, Katie, Holly, Emma and Katrina! Plus one more special lady who lives in Canada and wasn't able to join us that day, Leigh-Ann. I love them all more than I can really say and am so excited to spend this special season planning things, picking our colors and getting ready for our special day!
Thanks for letting me share a little bit of wedding-time happiness! XO. elsie
ps- special thank yous to Janae for the precious photos.
