Sunday was finally the big day. We stayed at The James in downtown Chicago, and let me tell you, we had a very odd room. For example, instead of a door to the bathroom, there was a sliding panel with a circular, frosted glass window in the center. Also, this reading nook in a dark corner of the room:
I knew it would be a pretty fancy wedding, so I went super fancy:
Dress - Ralph Lauren, Shoes - Calvin Klein, Bag - Michael Kors, Jewelry - gifts
People kept asking me if I had gotten my hair done, but it was actually a really simple updo I did myself. I curled my hair, teased the crown a little, and then pulled it into a low pony, leaving small sections out on either side of my face. I then wrapped each piece I left out around the ponytail, crossing one over the other, and secured with bobby pins. This was a less than 5-min hairstyle (once my hair was already curled).
Was it obnoxious that I matched my lip color to my nails? Probably. Did I care? Absolutely not.
Me with the best man ;)
Overall it was a great but exhausting weekend! Let me tell you, I had a looooot of laundry to do last week ;) Now I'm starting to get excited for my trip to California next week, and mentally planning all of my outfits. How early is too early to start packing?
