On Saturday the Chef and I attended the wedding of one of my best friends. We have seen each other through a lot the past 5 years, so to see her so happy is truly a joyous thing...and boy did she look gorgeous. I teared up! Now even though no one's looking at anyone other than the bride on the big day, far be it from me to muddy up her pictures with some whack outfit or a winter parka. Just sayin'. You know someone's going to get video of someone wiping out or something crazy like that - and with my luck I'll be standing right there, trip over them, and end up on YouTube (not okay).
So what to wear to a wedding on the sand? January in SoCal means about 70 odd degrees during the day, but it cools down considerably as the sun begins to set. I went all black with as many silver accents as I could pile on. This way if I ended up on my head all they'd remember is the jewelry and the shoes. Always plan ahead.
Cute or what??

So I'm sure you're all thinking, "where's the pictures of the bride?!" - and of course the dress. I planned to first ask Amy before putting her on blast on the internet. And then when I got there and saw her in her dress and started crying...well let's just say I hope she'll agree to a post on the dress. I've been to a lot of weddings and seen a lot of beautiful gowns, but there was something really special about hers. And I do think it went beyond all the sentiment that was expressed in the ceremony and overall day because even the Chef commented. So let's cross our fingers and hopefully she'll be willing to share some of her pics. It was sigh worthy.
Hope you guys had a great weekend! I'll be sending out emails re: the White Denim in Winter Challenge. Woo hoo!!

This looks like an absolutely BEAUTIFUL wedding. I adore beach weddings (being from Minnesota, I've clearly been to sooooo many). And you look great! Love those little booties.

I went all black at the last wedding I went to. It was outdoors in October so it was difficult to know what to wear. I dont like to see people wear long formals to a wedding because the wedding isnt about them but I continually see it and it bugs me. I wore a short black fitted dress with a nice snowflake printed tweed coat.
you look lovely! i like your ponytail.
the beach looks lovely and i cant wait to see the wedding dress :)

I'd love to get married on the beach! And I hope the bride lets us see her dress!

Great outfit and it looks like the perfect scene for the wedding! I bet it was gorgeous, sigh.
I had that song stuck in my head yesterday for some reason. Funny!
Very respectful of you! I cannot wait to see the bride- your description is so intriguing!
You looked very pretty, Carrie! And I do hope your friend will allow you to post pics of the dress, I'm really curious! Looks like a perfect day and a perfect wedding. That pic with the little girl is so cute!
P.S. It's -35 here today. Condolences welcome ; ) ha ha. Just kidding. I'm not complaining I'm just stating.
You look so pretty, Carrie! I feel like all black can never go wrong, especially with all your great silver accents. I love beach weddings! Hope you had a great weekend.

You look so stylish and elegant..I love your outfit sweetie...Arent weddings the best? I love them so much:)
Happy Monday,sweetie
What a perfect look for a wedding-elegant and carefully chosen, while not pulling any focus from that stunning white gown. Hope we get to see more of it!
xo, Lena
You look perfect. Either you have a bazillion clothes, or you just have a god-given talent to know exactly what to wear to every occasion. I hardly have any silver (totally a gold girl), but it looks lovely with what you're wearing.
I've been to SO MANY WEDDINGS (I can count at least 20) and I have been a bridesmaid 5 different times, so I have a special appreciation for attending weddings and getting to wear what I want and not have to pose for pictures! I should make a dang quilt out of all my dresses.
Perfect outfit for a beach wedding in Jan. lady! And that last picture? Adorable!
I just love beach weddings! And I also love your arm candy!
Oh I want to see the dress!!!!! Glad you had fun, a beach wedding sounds so dreamy and so fun to be at. jealous! and 70 degree weather...please.
What a beautiful wedding!
It looks like a beautiful wedding! And I sure hope your friend lets us see the dress!

We have AT LEAST until May, the way things are looking around here. heheheh

I want to renew my vows on the beach at sunset. I hope she lets you post the dress, needed beach dress ideas.

I hope she agrees to a dress post, I can't wait! Beach weddings are the absolute best!
You look so beautiful! I can't imagine standing on a beach right now, but it sure looks lovely. And the pic of the flower girl being tossed in the air is too cute for words.
love these photos! Wow - a beach wedding in January? So crazy! And you look great :)
Oh I sure hope she lets you post the photos - you have me oh so curious!! and you look so pretty Carrie!
i love beach weddings. theres something so magical about getting married by the ocean. xo
The first photo is great.. I love how you can just see the couple off in the distance, but you're still curious. Hopefully you get to post her dress photos. That was a good teaser. And how cute are those little girls in their tulle dresses???
I wanna see the dress, the suspense will kill me!!!
You crack me up Carrie, always plan ahead :) love this look on you, very Audrey-chic with a 2011 twist!
P.S. That wasn't an M+O cardi but it was a M+O tee underneath. Can we seriously have another cry fest, I reeeally miss them lately. Find myself pulling a piece from the closet and making a pouty face :(
Gotta say, I am crying inside. A beach! 70 degrees! Sigh. I feel like all I do lately is talk about the weather and compare it to other bloggers, but seriously, tomorrow we are getting 30-35cm of snow. That said, you look lovely!! So glad you had such a special day!
Love that last shot ~ I can hear her laughing! I wish it would cool down here too ~ sarcasm here ~ they are predicting another 30 cm snow for tomorrow night into Thursday ~ I want to move in with you until the end of April ~ OK??!!
Babe, drop me a line at molesm at tc.gc.ca
I miss you!
p.s. We are moving right now and arrghh.. I am buried under the boxes and boxes of silks and taffetas! Okay, I don't really have any of those but it sounded cool when I said it!
p.p.s. Crossing my fingers I find it, if not, I am buying one! he he!
Stay Happy and Positive!
besos,

When the wedding day is fixed then people start doing preparations for that therefore we can easily manage all the all the destination. And if we organize our wedding on the beach then it would be very interesting.
