Melissa Got Married!!

This post contains affiliate links.

This past weekend one of my sorority sisters, Melissa, got married!! She got married in Hot Springs Arkansas at Garvan Woodland Gardens in the Anthony Chapel. I haven’t seen Melissa in a few years and it was soooo good to see her and meet her husband!!!

I don’t know about you but I love weddings! I love dressing up, I love watching the groom’s face when he sees his bride walk down the aisle, I love watching them have their first kiss and then running out of the church. I love wedding receptions and watching them have their first dance and cutting the cake. What can I say, I love everything about weddings!!

Before the wedding I got a blowout at JustBlow (the same place I get my brows tinted and shaped) and got my nails done at Elegant Nails in Little Rock. Like I said, I love dressing up and getting pampered, HA! I also got to wear a new dress (linked below) I recently ordered from Nordstrom. This dress will also be perfect for Easter and a few other events I have coming up! My necklace is a few years old but I linked a similar one and my shoes below too.

Melissa was a truly beautiful bride and I loved getting to catch up with her!

She also had one the prettiest (and yummiest) wedding cakes I have ever seen!!

Since it decided to be 40* that day the reception got moved from outdoors at Garvan Gardens to indoor at The Hills at Belvedere. Fun fact: The Belvedere used to be a really fancy Country Club in Hot Springs and I took swimming lessons there when I was a little girl. HA!

Overall, the wedding was gorgeous and it was sooooo good seeing and catching up with people I haven’t seen in years. Congrats Melissa and Ryan!!!

Do you love weddings as much as I do??

    Good to see you had a great wedding (your friend that is..he he), loving the dress. I been there and done that and for some reason, no stress on the actual wedding day (but I was super drunk the night before so that is was I was probably relaxed) :D
