My Summer Brides


This has been one crazy summer for weather! My brides this summer have been stellar. They have planned from other states and perservered through rain and humidity. All the while looking radiant and beautiful, from the inside out.....

This past Saturday, my bride asked me a question that wasn't in the normal wheelhouse of makeup questions. She recognized that I spend a considerable amount of time with brides on their wedding day and asked me how they reacted or what they felt during that time. She was in a state of calm at that moment and wondered if that was normal...lol. I told her I was sure she would run the gamut of emotions leading up to "the walk" which will most likely result in her heart thumping in her chest!

Since I don't usually get asked a question too far off of what I am there for, I carried this thought home with me and reflected on it a bit more. I have been married for almost 19 years and I have only this advice to impart.... Savor all of it....Stop, enjoy, and reflect often on this day. It's hectic and can get away from you. Take time alone, laugh with friends, and revel in your beauty when you see yourself for the first time before you take that walk down the isle.... 

I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting all of my brides this Summer, you are such sweet girls! Many blessings to you in your marriage and in your life! Here's to the beautiful weddings of my Fall brides!
