wedding weekend

calivintage: wedding weekend

aaaand i’m back from a long weekend spent with my family in southern california for my sister’s wedding! i have to admit, i was a bad blogger because i hardly took any photos while i was away, but i was just too busy running around with last minute wedding preparations, and just spending time with my family. but i did snap a few shots on the wedding day, and thought i might share my little photo diary with you!

above, i’m doing my signature jump shot in front of my grandparents house with my incredibly fashionable little brother. i’m wearing a boutique by jaeger dress and he’s wearing a j.crew shirt, levi’s 1947 jeans, and alden boots.

on the day of the wedding, i went to the nail salon with my sister (the bride), my mom, and my aunt julie. i picked out a bright orange to match my lipstick, and the lady doing my nails convinced me to do the tips. i thought it was weird at first, but i actually like it  a lot!

i was too impatient to wait to wear this dress, so you’ve already seen it! but here’s a quick outfit shot!

aha! my grandparents are like me. they usually make serious faces for the pictures, but i caught them in a candid moment!

i decorated the wedding cakes complete with little orange blossoms and kumquats!

my brother decided to interfere with my outfit shot. his vintage reissue levi’s and alden boots are stealing the show!
