Part two in our New Hampshire weekend extravaganza!

The weather on Saturday was almost perfect for a wedding: sunny, bright, and freezing. October has most certainly arrived! As I drove up the Kancamagus on my way to my friend's wedding, I could see leaves whipping across the road and the thermometer in my car drop degree by degree as I winded further into the mountains. When I left my mom's house in Maine it was 50 degrees F and when I got to the wedding site it was 40 degrees F, so cold!
While some may think wearing black to a wedding is faux-pas, I was glad I did for one specific reason: it soaked in the sun! I did make sure to layer, knowing chiffon isn't exactly weather proof. I've been waiting to photograph both of these shirts for the right outfit. The chiffon top I scored a couple of weeks ago at the Swap, and the polka-dot top I found at a thrift store in New Hampshire. I really loved how the chartreuse popped against the polkadots! I kept my accessories to a minimum: a purple bracelet (also swapped), and gold belt. The sunglasses weren't planned, but I'm glad I found them in my car because it was so incredibly sunny!
The wedding was very nice, and the bride and groom were kind enough to provide hot chocolate for everyone after the ceremony. It made me realize I've barely been thinking about my own wedding, which- if all goes as planned- is less than a year away. Would you be interested in a weekly wedding post? Just inspiration and such. I'm realizing that the task of planning a wedding is easily overwhelming, and just as easily pushed aside!

lovely outfit ! :D kiss <3
The contrast between the chartreuse top and the polka-dot top is just delightful!
These last couple of posts of yours have me longing to go back to Maine.
P.S. I think a wedding feature would be a lovely idea. I would like to see how your incredible style will show through your wedding details!
would love to read your thoughts on weddings since i am in the process of planning mine too :)

Olive green and black and white polka dots. Love it!
Ah it looks so dreamy there. It hasn't quite hit real fall weather yet in New Jersey!
This is a lovely fall outfit.
And yes - would have to say that wedding posts would be exciting!
oh my goodness, i miss the east coast in the fall! my mom is from new hampshire and they drove down from maine last weekend for the foliage. sounded (and looks in your photos) beautiful!
as always, you look gorgeous and your combinations are inventive--the chartreuse and polka dots are an unexpected and awesome combo.
What wonderful colors! super chic!
I love this outfit!
yes! would love a weekly wedding post! i'm planning my own wedding now too and i love to see what others are doing.
This outfit looks fantastic on you! The shirts go just perfectly together.
Yes for the weekly wedding post!!

Loving the color combo!

That green is such a lovely color on you and I love the addition of the polka dots! I think a weekly wedding post would be fun!
Love the chartreuse + dots combo! The dots really add to the outfit without complicating the color palette. Awesome.
I would definitely be interested in a weekly wedding post! I'm really interested to see what your inspiration will be.
Love the top! I should probably make my way to NH at some point- it's one of the few states I still haven't been to and it looks beautiful!
Mmm...grave stones are photo props. Not sure how I feel about that exactly! I'm sure Billie H never knew he'd be friends with such a cool chick.
I'm getting married in less than a year, too, but I don't really care about details, so my mom is doing most of the cool table stuff. I don't plan on talking about it publicly on the internet just because I'd like it to be more private.
1)ive been really into eliot porter's photography lately and it reminds me of your posts!
2)the color of your top is so perfectly autumnal
3)id love to see some wedding stuff!!
Love the colour combi and layering :)
I wore black to my own wedding! (Well, a black dress with a lilac apron LOL That sounds naughty, it was a traditional Austrian dress really)
I didn't do a whole lot of planning for my wedding. I guess I was quite the atypical bride - there was no colour co-ordination, no dres code and about three days before the wedding I started handing out tasks to my friends (flowers, etc.)
The only thing we were specific about was that instead of cake we wanted Doughnuts :D Yum. Not like I could really eat corsetted in as I was!
This is so chic! I love it :)
Want a cape like that for fall!!!
