The morning of the wedding the BF and I had a relaxing breakfast where I was sure to fuel up for Kendal and Brandon's big day! I got dropped off at the hotel and the bridesmaids all met up in Kendals suite (which has a beautiful view of the ocean) to get ready, and to do our bridesmaidly duties!
The beautiful bride after we fluffed that skirt for days!
Bridesmaid bouquets. We each got to carry a unique orange flower.
Getting ready was really fun. We all helped each other do our makeup. I got pampered and got my hair professionally done. We did a big round of photos before the ceremony and then got all lined up to get Kendal down the isle to become a Mrs.!
The wedding was really sweet. A member of the groom's family married them, and the love between Kendal and Brandon was really sweet to be witness to.
After the wedding there was a cocktail hour where the pledge class reunion began...
Then we relocated to the reception site, which was beautiful! Watching the sun set over the beach while we ate dinner..
The tablescapes were beautiful and that pink drink was the signature "blushing bride" cocktail.
View from the reception space. The sun set while we were eating dinner and it was stunning.
Kendal did an incredible job with a ton of person touches. There was a photo booth. Milk and Cookies. A private bathroom for the wedding guest (brilliant idea if getting married at a hotel) (also where one of my favorite memories of the night happened when we had to help the bride with all that dress!). The dance floor was full of people, and we got to relive so of the college sorority formal memories.
This one is one of my favorites.
After the wedding, we decided to take the party to downtown La Jolla and went a bar/club and we danced the night away!
Sadly, the night came to and end and we all had to say our goodbyes as all our flights left at different times the next day. It was such a great wedding and I was so honored to be a part of it!
The next morning we woke up and got some gas in the car ( a whole other story...but one that luckily didn't result in us being stranded in the wee hours of the morning), and then grabbed brunch at Cody's La Jolla which was excellent and just what we needed after a late night!
Possibly the best french toast I have ever had.
We made a few stops as we drove back up to LA and despite us having to drive back up to catch flights, it was a really fun morning and afternoon.
Later that day I caught my flight to head home for a few days before heading off to Kansas City!
