Our Parisian Wedding -- Part II: Louvre, Seine, and a Café

I'm back today to share more photos from our wedding in Paris (Part I is here if you missed it).

After our ceremony on the Pont des Arts, we spent some time walking around near the Louvre, taking in the gorgeous architecture and morning light without a tourist in sight. It felt like we were on a movie set and the city was there just for us. Our photographer, Juliane, knew exactly where all the prettiest spots were and got some lovely shots of us and our beautiful surroundings.

Our Parisian Wedding -- Part I: le Pont des Arts

It has been nearly two months since our wonderful wedding in Paris, and I am finally ready to share some of the photos we recently received from our fantastic photographer, Juliane Berry. She was a dream to work with and took such beautiful photos that perfectly captured our day.

We had decided to do our ceremony in the morning as we noticed the Paris streets were nice and quiet in the early morning hours, and that would give us a lot of freedom and privacy to have our ceremony and take photos wherever we liked. Our only snafu was that the Paris Marathon (think 50,000 runners--eek!) was happening that day, much to our surprise, but between Juliane and our driver Didier, we didn't even see a single runner while we drove around Paris, and there was almost no traffic.

Didier picked us up in his 1953 Citroen in front of our apartment (more on our gorgeous apartment here if you're interested) at about 7:10 am, as sunrise was at 7:20. I had initially wanted "getting ready" photos, but I'm glad we jettisoned those and went right to our ceremony spot, the Pont des Arts across the Seine.



I did do a little bit of getting ready while waiting on the bridge, just to make sure my lipstick looked right. I decided to do my own hair and makeup as I wasn't sure if I could find someone to do it the way I wanted without meeting them well in advance. I love makeup and I know what looks best on me, so I preferred to mess with it myself. It turned out looking very "me," which Sean and I both agreed was the way to go.

Quick post today to share a fun, tropical look I wore to a luau while I was in Hawaii. I received this cute polka-dot dress (another Anthro petites win!) not long before my trip, and I knew it had to come with me. It read a couple review that indicated it ran small, so I went up a size, which ended up fitting just right. I am bummed I didn't get a good photo of the back--it has a great criss-cross detail and cut-outs that make it interesting, but it can still be worn with either a regular or a strapless bra. I am considering picking one up in another color after realizing how flattering, travel-friendly and comfortable this one is.

I hope you had a fabulous weekend and are enjoying the beginning of summer!

P.S. Just wanted to add one thing--I've added a feature onto the blog where you can simply hover over any photo to pin it to Pinterest (I've been meaning to do this for ages!). Hope that makes pinning a little simpler for you!
