My good friend Jackie got married to her Prince Charming, John, this past weekend in Seattle. It was a beautiful wedding (if not beautiful weather- it rained!). Jackie looked like a true princess in her Monique Lhuillier gown. I am impressed with her because she pretty much did everything for the wedding herself, right down to renting the proper size tents to designing and putting together the table decor (with bridesmaid help, of course). She was inspired by the Orangery in Hyde Park, London, one of her favorite places she discovered while studying abroad there. I think she did Style me Pretty proud.

I searched high a low to get to this post… I had seen it somewhere and was DYING to see this dress again. It’s so lovely. Your friend looks so young… kind of precious. The one of the 1st dance though… it looks like the bottom of her dress is quite stained. Inevitable, I am sure but sad :(
