Bridesmaids (OLAS style)

This past weekend I went to see Bridesmaids on opening night.  My roommate and I had been looking forward to seeing it ever since the first trailer appeared during our weekly viewing of “Dancing with the Stars.”  Every time the trailer came on while I was getting my daily reality TV fix, I paid rapt attention in case the producers showed some little clip they had left out previously.  Needless to say, I went went with my roommate, a friend from high school, and her roommates, and of course we made a night of it.  Mexican, margaritas…and then….the movie.  We thought getting there 10 minutes early would be PLENTY of time to get decent seats….apparently not the case on opening night in New York City.  We sat in the front row.  But it did not deter the two hours of pure amazingness that ensued.  Needless to say, if you haven’t seen it, you need to.  Immediately.

So, with Bridesmaids as my inspiration, I set out to find some of our favorite bridesmaids pictures from our OLAS archives.  Our bridesmaids are, first and foremost, our best friends.  They’re the women we couldn’t imagine not having standing by our side when we married the loves of our lives.  And they also make our lives (and our weddings) that much more fun and wonderful.

While you’re looking at the Bridesmaids edition of our blog today, here’s a little gem of a song from the movie that has thankfully been brought back to life  Enjoy!

To start, I just love these pictures of Juliana’s (from Juliana + Greg) bridesmaids.

Lauren and her stunning bridesmaids look like they walked straight out of a BHLDN look-book.  So lovely!

Tea’s bridesmaids were definitely showing her the love (and kisses and hugs) the day she said “I do” to Jesse.

Sometimes all you need is one bridesmaid to stand by your side….

And then to give a beautiful toast at your reception…

Sometimes you laugh at your bridesmaids….and then sometimes they laugh at you…when you also fall in the snow

And then you laugh together.

Can you spot a certain OLAS co-owner in this picture?  Who was Ashlee’s matron of honor?  Anyone?

I feel like these glasses would have fit perfectly in the actual movie, Bridesmaids.

…..And I really DO think this might have been a screen shot from the movie….or a picture from Katie + Karsten’s San Fran wedding

And of course, the biggest duty of a bridesmaid (or, maid of honor) is the speech.  Love this sequence from Christy and Nils’ wedding (especially the hug.)

I hope you enjoyed the premiere of Bridesmaids: OLAS edition, and please do yourself a favor and go see it.  I’m already contemplating going to see it again while I’m in Atlanta with Leah and Ashley for a NotWedding pre-event (since Ashley has yet to see it, and Leah would see it again, too).

And remember…be sure to check us out if you want to capture you and your amazing bridesmaids in all your wedding day glory! xoxox
