I was a Bridesmaid!

Hello everyone,

I always wanted to make this post but I couldn't decide whether it was appropriate.
Let's call this a little life update.
I got to be a bridesmaid at my cousins wedding. I only was a bridesmaid once at my dads wedding but that wedding was very modern and simple and I was about 9 years old.

When I got told I was going to be a bridesmaid I was in so much stress. I only had the dress that I actually wore in the colour newly weds chose. I wasn't the biggest fan of this dress so I tried to look for another. However, I only had 10 days to find it. The one thing always happens is that you will never find something you are looking quickly, especially when it's specific. 

I had to go with the dress I had and it was okay, not the best dress but it worked.

It was a little wedding with just family and it was kinda fun because I knew everyone from my cousin side and made quite a good friends with the grooms sister! 

The wedding was fun and we danced until dawn. It was a real treat for me also, like a great way to end my mad summer season. 

I got a few personal gifts for my cousin and her husband. I know them both personally so it was kinda easy for me to pick things. However, I also found a few great ideas on Pintrest. If you are looking for something to give or do for the wedding or even a birthday party Pintrest is your best friend! 

On a big piece of paper, in fact the paper has this sheen sprayed on it and it was the same as wedding invitations which I thought was a nice touch, I drew a huge tree, no leaves. It being family wedding, the tree kind of worked better than I anticipated.  The idea was that everyone puts their finger prints of the tree. I got a different colour ink pads so you would dip your finger into the ink pad and then place it on the tree. The end result was a tree full of colourful finger prints from everyone important.

I had the best time and the best memories and I always think about it. It just makes me so happy.  

Have you been a bridesmaid? What are you experiences? 

Yours Izabele
