Getting ready for our wedding was such a fun experience.
We were lucky enough to be staying in this beautiful Villa on the property of Arden Hills, which is the place we got married. We had it for 3 nights, including the wedding night. All of my closest girlfriends were there with me, along with my mom, MIL, and sisters. There were quite a few of us, but we had 4 big rooms and it was like a giant sleep-over! It was so much fun.
This is the outside of the Villa
We had a homemade breakfast prepared by an in house chef all 3 mornings. It was delicious and so relaxing to wake up to!
All hanging out in my bed - chatting and laughing before I went to sleep for my last single night!
After breakfast we got started with some toasts before getting all ready!
We had two hairstylists there to do everyone's hair. This is me getting mine done :)
The girls fixing up their make up... we were spread out all over the place! The entire Villa was taken over by girls, clothes, make up, champagne, and pearls!
Everyone was decked out in pearls & the silk robes I got them! So cute!
And then my dad helped me get all strapped in my wedding dress! He's an amazing seamstress, so we let him do all of the buttoning and clipping. (He made my sister's and my prom dresses) :)
And once in my dress... the picture spree began! :)
It was the best day of my life.
Fun, beautiful, romantic, meaningful.
Can I do it over again? :)

Tracy, I just LOVE these pictures - seriously, you are such a gorgeous bride! And that villa is absolutely perfect =) It sounds like such an amazing time! (And your hair reminds me very much of how Carrie Bradshaw would wear hers, which is a huge compliment =)
Hi Tracy
Sounds like you had the most wonderful time. Love all those silk robes!! so sweet.. and what a clever dad you have!
The villa is incredible and I think the way you all stayed over probably made for it being a more restful start to the day...
Glad it was perfect for you. x Julie
Your pictures make me want to be there. I'm loving the pearls on the bridesmaids.
BTW...I am in love with your dress. It's perfect on you. I love how original it looks...no typical bride gear. I can't wait for my wedding dress. (that's all that I'm worried about)
How fun....and how beautiful!
Love the photo of your Dad helping with your dress...I still think it's incredible that he can even sew, never mind make your Prom dresses!
