Bre & Chuck Reid, May 7th 2011

This wedding is very special to me for many reasons, the most important reason being that the bride is my sister. I love my sister so much, she is one of my best friends, and of course I wanted her big day to be everything she'd dreamed of. I was honored to be her maid of honor and I didn't take the responsibility lightly.  Bre and I spent countless hours working on every detail. It was a total DIY wedding. We did everything ourselves from the invitations to the pomander balls and floral arch in the ceremony to the centerpieces. I even hand painted wooden signs to match her invitations. The biggest challenge came in the hair department. Of course I was going to do every one's hair, the problem was that there were 8 bridesmaids. So the tally of girls needing their hair done was 10, including myself my sister and my mom. I enlisted the help of two assistants, strictly to curl hair, and made a very detailed schedule for each girl. Everything came together beautifully but I have to admit there was a bit of stress on my part. It was all worth it.
