she's going to be such a beautiful bride

you simply cannot go wrong with the classic bridal pose.

as mentioned previously, michie's bridal shower (possibly 1 of 3) was thrown this weekend by myself -- a small and intimate gathering.

we also decided to use the time wisely to practice some important wedding day activities!

held at the tea rose cottage in ybor and absolutely adorable! shabby chic in the best possible way (and i truly hate that term). definitely more chic than shabby. for most of the morning, it was empty and private, which was so lovely.

hmm... this was after the food... happy smiles all around!

bridal03

vermi(celli), whom i haven't seen in forever, was able to drive in. she got to spend 2 nights! and she got to experience the shopping frenzy that is Erika in Anthropologie.

bridal04

alright ladies, pinkies out!

bridal05

erika couldn't quite manage the graceful pinky.

bridal06

the michie momala, whose trunk contains a veritable trove of scrapbooking supplies.

bridal07

and heeerree weeee goooo!! michie was such a good sport. then again, how could she not with 2-ply quilted goodness?

bridal08

a small train is really just perfect. the dress won't need to be bustled nor will it get dirty! as toilet paper is wont to do.

bridal10

almost done....

bridal09

ah, the finishing touches!

bridal13

the beautiful blushing bride!

bridal14

the flower toss had to be covered here, since it won't be done at the wedding. who needs to see a visual symbol of the deflowering? erika, being always on the ball, deftly caught the bouquet.

bridal15

but, but.... where's the garter???!?!

and obviously, garter toss will be likewise striken from the wedding reception as well. mich is like, my wedding role model.
