I originally bought this dress to wear to my rehearsal dinner last year. My mom and I were at the J.Crew Factory outlet (where I miraculously found those dreamy dresses for all of my bridesmaids at a ridiculously good price), checking out the selection of white cocktail dresses for my bridal shower, bachelorette party, and other wedding-related events. I ended up picking this light pink one instead--I loved the fluffiness of the skirt and the light pink color so much.

For the rehearsal dinner, I added some white accessories--shoes and a statement necklace--to up the "bridal" elements of the dress, but I love it the way it looks and feels with nude shoes and a more everyday necklace.

Earlier this year, Rob and I spent an afternoon at Tuckahoe Plantation in Richmond, Virginia and got to be part of our wonderful wedding photographer's second workshop! It was a freezing, wet day in March, but Ashley worked her butt off and partnered up with some truly talented vendors to put on a gorgeous event. 

Her styled shoot from the workshop was featured yesterday on Glamour & Grace, so today I wanted to share some of my favorite shots from the secret garden--hope you enjoy!
