Alicia and Michael tied the knot on Saturday so I can FINALLY share her gorgeous bridal images. It’s been really, really hard to keep these under wraps! We actually shot Alicia’s bridal session AND her and Michael’s engagement session all in one day. It was so much fun. I loved getting to spend so much time getting to know Alicia that day. She and her mom are just the sweetest and I couldn’t be more happy for her beginning a new life with her love.
Okay, can we talk about her fabulous bouquet for just a moment? Alicia made her one of kind brooch bouquet herself. It includes a few brooches passed down from family members and her friends even hosted a “brooch shower” for her. I can’t think of something more meaningful to carry down the aisle on your wedding day than a bouquet created from gifts and family heirlooms. SIGH. Weddings are awesome! 🙂
FAVORITE!!!! Isn’t she beautiful?! Alicia’s veil is passed down from her mom. I love when our brides incorporate family heirlooms into their weddings. I have my mom’s wedding veil in a special box along with her bridal portrait and I am keeping it for my daughters to use some day. When Alicia told me she was wearing her mother’s veil I may or may not have teared up just a little bit. When I look at the photo below I can’t help but hope that someday Alicia’s granddaughter will cherish this photo and maybe see a little bit of her grandmother when she looks in the mirror. <sniff, sniff> Ok, moving on……
Check back later in the week for a sneak peek from Alicia and Michael’s, Reunion Ranch wedding!!!!
