Wedding | Congrats To Purely Jessica"},"content":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align:center;\">I first met my good friend <a href=\"http:\/\/purelyjessica.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jessica<\/a> a few years back when I was looking for an assistant to help out with day-to-day fashion tasks (as well as <a href=\"www.urbandarling.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Urban Darling<\/a> tasks). \u00a0She was a recent fashion school grad who applied to one of my job postings, and I liked her right away. \u00a0She was a bit shy and quiet, but very sweet, and I knew we would get along well. \u00a0While I&#8217;ve always been more interested in design and styling, she&#8217;s a talented seamstress who makes most of her clothes by hand. \u00a0She also has a great eye for photography, and takes most of my blog photos. \u00a0When I was married exactly a year ago this month (on Dec. 27th) I even asked her to do my wedding photos. \u00a0It was a very small, intimate ceremony, and I didn&#8217;t want to make a lot of fuss by hiring a professional. \u00a0Jessica was there with me through the whole process &#8211; as I got ready right through to the end of the event, and I think <a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbandarling.com\/a-small-winter-wedding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the photos<\/a> turned out wonderfully.<\/p>\n<p

early this year, she herself got engaged to her high school sweetheart, Travis. \u00a0They&#8217;ve been together a long time, and she&#8217;s talked about him a lot over the years. \u00a0Although I&#8217;ve only met Travis a few times, I&#8217;ve always felt a personal connection to him because we share the same birthday. \u00a0He&#8217;s just as sweet as Jessica, but a little bit loud and boisterous &#8211; basically more like me! \u00a0I&#8217;m convinced that the two personalities complement one another, as my hubby is also the quite type. \u00a0This past Sunday, I attended her wedding in Riverside. \u00a0The venue was a quaint historic brick building in the heart of downtown. \u00a0The room was nicely decorated for the occasion, but I was most excited to see Jessica&#8217;s dress, as of course, she made it herself (and the bridesmaid dresses too)! \u00a0Jessica is a huge Harry Potter nerd btw, and I was pleasantly surprised to hear the twinkle of Potter music as she began her walk down the aisle. \u00a0She looked lovely and the whole\/ceremony reception was wayyyy enjoyable &#8211; traditional with a twist, and a bit more relaxed than your average wedding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-816\"

days my personal style is fairly casual, but I love any excuse to dress up. \u00a0I have soooooo much stuff that there was no need to buy anything new to create this winter wedding look. \u00a0I had the dress in mind for weeks, because it&#8217;s perfect for a low-key evening wedding, and the color\/style complements a winter event. \u00a0I&#8217;ve only worn it once before &#8211; to a magic show in Beverly Hills a few years back, also in the month of December. \u00a0This time I accessorized it a bit differently though. \u00a0Actually, everything is different, from the shoes to the bag to the jewelry, and even the belt. \u00a0For some, the accessories might be a bit much, but I am personally NOT a minimalist. \u00a0I have nothing against &#8220;less is more&#8221;, and for some people I think it works, but as a personal choice I find it a bit boring. \u00a0I feel naked without accessories &#8211; especially a great statement necklace!!!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"
