What a lovely day to be wed! Bride today was Kelsey, the daughter and eldest of the 2 girls from a family of 4 siblings. She is marrying her best friend today at Estancia Culinaria, her parents second home, and place she grew up visiting as a child. Her fond memories are only the beginning of new ones, today as she prepares to walk down the aisle in the beautiful, green avocado orchard. Scattered vintage furniture along with white, wooden chairs and a huge tent for 400 of their closes friends and family await eager guests. With the hussle and bussle of the caterers, florists, family and other vendors comes excitement and anticipation that can be felt from miles away.
I was hired today to makeover the bride, mother, maid of honor and sister along with a childhood friend who traveled from California. That friend, spoke about her fond memories of coming to the farm for years and years because she was both friends with Kelsey and her sister. I enjoyed doing makeup on all of the girls today. Kelsey's mom said "A family that loves a lot, cries a lot" when speaking about how she will try to hold back the tears during the ceremony.
Kelsey is definitely daddy's little girl, she gave him a beautiful engraved handkerchief, and brought him to tears. I can only imagine my husband with our daughter (in about 20 years!!!).
The bride's dress was a beautiful lace design complimenting the vintage feel. She wanted her bouquet 'messy' and nothing too stiff. She was going to wear TOMS shoes for the reception. Her makeup was natural and soft, exactly what she wanted and envisioned. She looked stunning with a side, braided chignon. Her borrowed earrings from her mother were diamonds with a blue sapphire in the middle. The bridesmaids wore soft fabrics of chocolate brown and green, nothing matching.
All in all, the girls were looking smashing and I enjoyed taking a small part as makeup artist of this 'organic' themed wedding at the family 'farm'. Cannot wait to see the images taken by "Captured by Jenny"!
