Wedded Bliss: Poolside Party

As you probably recall,

I just returned from my sister's wedding

over Memorial Day in Dallas.

It was an amazing week

full of fun & seeing good friends...

but I have to say,

the actual wedding festivities took the cake.

They were gorgeous,

and to the credit of my family alone-

no planners enlisted!

Just my mom working her face off on this fabulous fete.

While the professional pictures are yet to arrive,

I thought I would start by sharing some of the pre-wedding fun...

{thanks for the nudge, Helena!}

First up,

the bridal luncheon.

Held at my parents home,

hosted by my lovely aunts,

and reveled in by ME...

I was loving all the fanciness.

Poolside pedicures,

dainty drinks,

and low 80's temperature.

Perfection!

One of my aunts who threw the gorgeous party

also owns a wedding chapel in Oklahoma City, Rose Briar Place.

While I have yet to attend any of her weddings,

I'm now assured that they would be quite the good time.

Especially after dessert was over-

it was her own lemon sorbet... mmm.
