Preston's Christening
I was gifted this dress a few months back from one of my favorite dress designers regularly featured on the blog, Von Vonni. It was so special looking, I decided to save it for a particular occasion (compelled to mention it was originally $350 and on sale for $79, link below in outfit details- runs full). We christened Preston this past weekend and it was the perfect debut. I love turquoise and black so the earrings were a no brainer...I kept the rest of the accessories minimal. Below I have shared a little glimpse off the church and after party...it was a beautiful day celebrating the little nugget with our closest family and friends. Thank you to all who shared in it :)
Dress c/o Von Vonni available ON SALE here, Earrings Amrita Singh, Coat Nicole Miller, Shoes Christian Louboutin
I tried a Pinterest hairdo with minimal success. It looked a little more special than it does on the daily, but it was harder to "actually" do than the pinner suggested. I wish I could link, but I can't find it on any of my boards...argh!

That dress is sublime, I have limited success with pinterest hairdos as well. It always looks so much easier in the pics. Bybthecway look at your gorgeous boys, they are so damn cute!
What adorable photos I'm pleased you put them on the blog! I hope the new addition to your family is doing well.
Gosh that dress is a stunner. Having found the lovely Von Vonni to you I often browse their site for new styles - I hadn't noticed this one but it is a stunner and you look fabulous in it. Perfect for the occasion too.
