Wordless Wednesday: Winter Wedding Edition

For those of you who might not know, my brother was recently married on December 23rd, and my husband, son and I were all in the wedding party.  It was a beautiful day, both in weather and in spirit.  Here are some photos for mom a la mode’s “Wordless Wednesday.”  Enjoy!

Hair stylist, Gina, created a woven, pinned effect and used the pearl hair clips from my own wedding 5 years ago.

TIA Cosmetics Executive Makeup Artist, Bettina, created a sparkly eyelid to complement our gold dresses. Perfectly festive for a Christmas wedding.
