Hi everyone! I had my wedding one month ago today, so I thought I'd share some photos! We did a jewel-tone themed wedding with gold (and dinosaur) accents! I kept my naturally curly hair & just enhanced it for the updo, we both wore our glasses, AND I was wearing invisalign pretty much all day....

Hi everyone! I had my wedding one month ago today, so I thought I'd share some photos! We did a jewel-tone themed wedding with gold (and dinosaur) accents! I kept my naturally curly hair & just enhanced it for the updo, we both wore our glasses, AND I was wearing invisalign pretty much all day. We had a taco buffet that was an absolute hit with all our guests!

For me, hiring a videographer was absolutely my favorite investment because it's so cool to see what the wedding was REALLY like. So much of it feels like a blur now even though I was DETERMINED to take it all in.


As others have said -- the day of is pretty busy and overwhelming and also filled with so much joy. I lost my voice because my bridesmaids and I kept yelling "ahhhh!!!!" at each other all day while we were getting ready. HA. I spent pretty much the next 24 hours after my wedding crying from joy and love and gratitude and probably exhaustion. It was so much to process! And then when I'd been holding together for a while, my husband would mention *really* nice things from my wedding and set me off again. hahahah it was a romantic start to our married life.

    Awh I love your photos and your wedding colors!


    Curious because i also want to rock my natural curly/wavy hair...was it difficult to find a stylist willing to work with you? I'm afraid they will brush out my curls and curl it with a curling iron which is exactly what I don't want.

    It was not, but I think I got pretty lucky! My husband is a hair stylist, so we obviously went with his salon and one of his coworkers especially loves curly hair. The day of the wedding I was talking about how it feels like most stylists want to straighten and then recurl for control, and she said she would have pretty much insisted we keep my original texture -- it would have been SO MUCH work to straighten & recurl all the hair.

    I would suggest asking around for salons that have people who specialize in curly hair. We have a few salons in the twin cities (MN) designed just for curly hair and I do feel like it makes a difference when that's the culture of the salon vs. someone who "can do curly hair" -- usually that feels more like they're "dealing" with my hair, which I don't like. My husband's salon happens to have a few people who really like it, which I wouldn't have expected just looking at their website, so that was a happy find!
