last friday, my mommy darling and i had quite the honor of hosting a bridal brunch for one of my nearest and dearest, most beautiful best bride besties my life has ever known… my sweet and wonderful april!
it’s been just short of s-e-v-e-n whole years [!!!] since we threw my own bridal brunch at the farm on a sunshiney morning, so it was fun for mom and i to get to pull together some details for a girly little morning that would kick off april’s big weekend of true love and pretty things. as her matron of honor, i was excited to get to contribute just a little to her big occasion, and maddalena was excited, herself, to finally meet the precious little lady that morning that she’d get to be flower girls with. aaand then there was the total bonus that being a girl after my own heart, april’s wedding color scheme involved a perfect blush pink, which. is. my. favorite! not to mention, where there’s an excuse for cheese plates and quiches and chicken salad and coffee cake, i am usually pretty delighted!!so! it was a really fun morning, followed by a truly special, beautiful rehearsal night and wedding day. i sure hope our bride felt like the very loved and lovely princess that she is! it was really wonderful to have her most special ladies come together and celebrate her one more time before she wed. she sure has some sweet women in her life and i know we are all so thankful to have her in each of ours!
we love you so much, april!! thank you for keeping us around!!
These details are so perfectly girly and perfect! If only i could get a do over for all things wedding related since the invention of Pinterest. I feel like I could have made an epic event. She's a lucky lady!
