[ Invitations to the rehearsal dinner, wedding and brunch ]
This weekend one of my best friends is getting married in Montecito and I can hardly wait for the three-day festivities to begin. There’s nothing quite like the excitement and anticipation that surrounds a wedding. Between the all day prepping and beautifying, to the bride’s entrance, the groom’s expression, hitting the dance floor and eating cake, I love every second of it. And, I actually will wear this bridesmaids dress again—an incredibly cute Tibi dress with a sweetheart neckline. Here’s a look at a few things for the big weekend ahead.
