This past weekend we attended a cousin's wedding in Brooklyn. It was a wonderfully intimate and elegant affair. The bride and her mother's touches were everywhere. The lovely bride altered her own dress and both ladies worked together to bake and decorate the cake
and put together all the floral arrangements.
Here's what we wore to the wedding: (We took these photos beforehand because it would be nearly impossible to take photos while entertaining an active almost-two-year old during the event.)
And here are photos taken before the event:

Congratulations A and C! Thank you for letting us be a part of your special day.
Everyone looks so lovely. The bride was beautiful,as always. The cakes looked too nice to eat. The bride's mom did a wonderful job on the cakes, flowers and decor. Wish we were there to witness the occasion. The little boy with the mohawk hair was so cute.
