Dear Christine,
Yes, it’s the usual suspects again. One of our very best friends was married last week so we all gathered in Philadelphia to celebrate. These photos are from the rehearsal dinner, which was very much a garden party. Complete with swirly dresses, soft hairstyles, and miniature desserts.
My friend Jenna captured me capturing one of the photos above. I took the opportunity to wear my Bamali dress, bought in Curaçao a few years ago. It doesn’t leave the closet as often as I would like as I find the skirt a little bit dramatic for everyday wear. The dress has a bit of a vintage feel, so I added my Seychelles sandals and a little flower clip to dress it up.
Clearly BFF!
Alex
You looked great Alex. Blue suits you.
Alex, you look gorgeous in blue! I love the dress, the cut, it has a vintage feel to it. I hope we’ll see more of it this summer!
Uwahhhh, garden party! These are so lovely, Alex, and that dress is frickin’ KILLER. Oh my stars and cows. The blue suits you so well, never take it off. (Just kidding, wash it sometimes.) Also, speaking of dresses, I got the dress from you, thank you so much! I have to try to work it into my repertoire soon. :) You’re the best.
So I belatedly realized that I have an email about the giveaway in drafts for you, but it never actually sent (sorry). I guessed on the dress and thought (and by thought I mean visualized in my mind by the eyeball method) that it might fit you. Hope it does!
Beautiful photos, beautiful dress, beautiful setting!
Thank you! It was a really lovely evening.
GASP!!! (i love getting letters)
That dress looks lovely!!! Garden soirees with little desserts and flawy dresses are so awesome! So summer! The pictures you’ve captured are wonderful!
Oops, forgot to tweet you this one!
I think the next Connecticut Bloggers meetup should totally be a garden party, right?
How beautiful Alex! That dress looks stunning on you. Looks like a gorgeous affair.
Thank you! The wedding was equally beautiful. Hopefully I’ll have photos of that soon!
What a fun rehearsal dinner!! The dress color is stunning on you. You look so tan!!
wow! this looks like a fun time, Alex! I think the photos look amazing, especially the beautiful lighting! And that dress? Holy smokes, it’s gorgeous!
I LOVE the color of this dress on you- so pretty. Also, a garden party sounds like so much fun! I would love to do that or a picnic with the Blogger Social Club!
Hahahaha would have to find someone with a garden first. Or we could do a picnic somewhere… in like October when it’s not 95 degrees. Otherwise it would have to be an indoor picnic.
Haha, these are good points you make! A girl can dream though… :)
Gorgeous! Beautiful location :)
Oh what a lovely venue for a rehearsal dinner!
Love that dress, it looks gorgeous on you, the skirt and the color and neckline all flatter you so well.
mini desserts sound good too. i’ve already had two desserts tonight, but well now i want more.
I really like cobalt, so I don’t know why I don’t have more of this color. I love this dress for its unique details but I always forget to capture them better– next time!
