First Look Friday: Emily + Grant by Off The Beaten Path Weddings, Photos by onelove photography

Welcome to another First Look Friday! We hope you remember this awesome couple… to us, they will always remind us of the word, “WOOPA” as they created it and made it the theme of their wedding. Haven’t seen it yet? Check out WOOPA here. But first, check out how this Bridechilla™ sneaks up on her guy… happy FLF!

And thank you SO much to our friends at onelove photography for capturing this special moment between Emily and Grant! Remember to enjoy the rest of this Bridechilla™’s chill day on Style Me Pretty. And of course, HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

First Look Friday: Jen + Bryan by Off The Beaten Path Weddings, Photos by Catherine Hall Studios

Since we are less than 10 days from the start of our season, we thought we’d throw it back to one of our weddings from a couple years ago! Welcome to  First Look Friday, or should I say FLASHBACK Friday, since we are featuring Jen and Bryan today? It doesn’t matter, because this wedding was beautiful and they are also celebrating their anniversary this month (May 14th); with tulips, bow-tie’s, and a pup to make the day even better – it’s hard to only share one single moment, but we know it’s one you’re going to love: 

Thank you SO much to our friends at Catherine Hall Studios for capturing this special moment between Jen and Bryan! Jen’s face holds all the emotion that words could never say, there is just so much joy… Enjoy the rest of this Bridechilla™’s chill day on Style Me Pretty.

And of course, HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

First Look Friday: Grandmother + Bride from Moment Junkie

This First Look Friday truly warmed our hearts when it popped up in our Facebook News Feed from the go-to place for tear-jerking imagery – Moment Junkie. It looks like this Bridechilla™ instantly brought her grandmother to tears in when she came in to site… just see for yourself!

HUGE thank you to our friends at Moment Junkie for sharing this special moment between Bride and Grandmother! It truly shows that sometimes words are just unnecessary. Enjoy your weekend, ‘chillas…

Bridechilla™ Tip #57

Tip #57 – How to be a BRIDECHILLA™ by Off The Beaten Path Weddings – Make the love of your life smile before you even walk down the aisle with this chill idea!

Things you’ll need:

• Flower girl
• Pen
• Paper
• And a few sweet words of LOVE

Chances are you already have 75% of these things, so all you need to know now is what to do with them. Remember, this will take you 5 minutes to do and it can even wait until the day of your wedding (yes, this is a procrastinator friendly tip!) because it is so simple and such a sweet gesture for that person waiting at the end of the aisle for you.

(by EmDashPaperCo on Etsy)

Simply ask your flower girl to walk down the aisle as planned, except at the end, have her hand a note to the groom as soon as she’s there. Your note can say something sweet, like “I can’t wait to marry you” or “I can’t wait to kiss you”, anything your heart desires to say GOES! This Bridechilla™ Tip is soooo simple and will definitely put a smile on his/her face right before you come in to view.

We love these love notes by elyellapaperdesigns on Etsy too!

Happy love note writing ‘chillas!

First Look Friday: Father + Daughter by Anna Delores

Happy First Look Friday! Last week we shared a shot-by-shot of Julia + Tom’s First Look… Tom’s face was incredibly endearing as he watched Julia walk down the aisle. That is why we love the first look… but is it always going to be about the groom? No way! The only thing more “awww” worthy than a tear-struck groom is seeing the father of the bride’s face when he FIRST sees his little girl… see below!

See? Sweetest. Thing. Ever. Thank you SO much to Anna Delores for capturing this special moment between this father and daughter! And be sure to check out our Bridechilla™ Tip on why it’s so great to capture the first look between bride and father. With that being said, Hopefully everyone has a great weekend… see you on our next #FirstLookFriday!
