Christine's Going to Disney!

Christine Furtado was pretty happy that it was 60 degrees and cloudy on her wedding day. Why, you ask? Because the meteorologists were predicting a total washout, complete with driving rain and high winds.

Wouldn't you love to be a weather person? You can be wrong every day and still have a job.

I bet Christine was happy that weather people are bad at their jobs.

Her ceremony was here in Bristol and her reception was at the Five Bridge Inn, a beautiful place in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. Christine is our first bride to get married there so it was fun to hear all about it.

Here are a few pictures of the grounds...

The Inn...

Who knew this was in Rehoboth?

Back to Bristol--here is our New Leaf-er bride...

The process of a textured chignon...luckily Christine trusts me:o)

Christine's bridesmaid, Stephanie, brought in a picture of Scarlett Johansson for Leah to replicate.

Here is Scarlett's 'do...

And Leah's...wow.

This is why we love when the 'maids bring ideas...there is no room for confusion then!

Jamie Evenson hard at work...

Leah and Amy perfecting their styles...

Hey, it's Amy Silva, the lady behind all the magic at New Leaf! It's like a celebrity sighting. She is always busy with her clients so she doesn't always get a chance to join in all the fun in the Bridal Lounge. She was sick of missing out so she made an appearance! Christine's bridesmaid, Sandra, was just in a wedding last weekend...that is dedication right there!

Here is Jamie's 'after' ...

Another view... All of Christine's girls had the most beautiful hair...it must have been a prerequisite to be in her wedding. Oh that, and the fact that they were all so pretty. They were wearing long, mermaid style chocolate dresses. Maybe they will even be able to wear them again...sorry, just a silly 27 Dresses reference. Love that movie.

The back of Christine's bridal style...don't you love the brooch? It's really not a brooch at all...it was her 'borrowed' from her bridesmaid, Carla. It was a long clip that we worked into a 'new' accessory. A little bit of creativity goes a long way...
Another view...and a sneak peek at her veil!

The girls...
We were all in love with Christine's veil. Her aunt made it and it was amazing! I loved the lace edging to go with Christine's 'vintage' look to her wedding. Her aunt even added in hidden hooks to pin the veil so it would stay put (even with all the wind)!

It was really long so Christine wouldn't be keeping it in all day.


How beautiful...and this is before make up. What?!

I love this one of Christine checking out the back with her digital camera.


Christine was this happy all day. Really, it was infectious.

Another reason Christine looks so happy? When asked where she was going on her honeymoon, she gleefully replied, "I'm going to Disney!"

Turns out, she is actually going to Barcelona and Italy after Disney. She left that part out. She had never been to see Mickey and Minnie so she was feeling pretty lucky. Someone better put a veil on her Minnie ears!

We couldn't let her leave without a picture of her hoodie--so cute!
We hope everyone stayed dry that night...the weather turned out to be pretty crazy. I bet everyone was celebrating too much to even notice.

Thanks Christine and all your girls--you were so fun to spend the morning with and we can't wait to see you next time you are at New Leaf...Congrats!
