Yesterday...

I had the privilege to have a photoshoot done by the amazing Lizelle Lotter. (She is one of Elmarie's friends from South Africa, who has become a friend to me as well. She is a very talented photographer and shot El's wedding.) Here's a little sneak peek. These are pictures El took on my phone.

Yes, I am wearing my wedding dress. I decided to "trash my dress." Which involved laying in the street, sitting against a dumpster, and yes, swimming in Standley Lake. (Which was FREEZING, but so much fun!) 

The funny part is, I came home and washed my dress in the bathtub and now I can't see any stains or watermarks or anything. So I guess it wasn't "trashed" after all! (My mom will be quite happy!) Even if it had been though, it would have been totally worth it. I had so much fun! And now I can't wait to see the pictures! Thanks Lizelle!

That is so cool. I have wanted to do a trash the dress as well and then got pregnant and haven't had a chance to schedule another shoot. Had to cancel the first one as my husband had to work...we were going to do some fun shots together too.

I plan to take the dress and make fun things out of it too that I can hand down. One thing I was thinking of was a Christmas tree shirt.

So many possibilities, so little time.
