As we are nearing the end of this Whirlwind Senior Year for Bekah (that coincided with Whirlwind Wedding Year for Kati), we reach another "last." Her last school formal.
Late afternoon/evening found our house full of formal-goers, moms, hairspray, make up, pizza boxes, jewelry, curling irons, siblings, comings-and-goings, flat irons, fancy dresses, heels, cookies, and excitement!

After Aunt Kati gave her a little make-up job, Macie said, "I'm pretty like you, Bekah."
We had planned to gather for some outdoor pictures before carpooling to the event, but there came a deluge of rain. The photo shoot was moved to the sun porch.

Bekah wore a vintage dress (Minuet by Mollie Stone) that she had purchased for $12.50 at a local antique store. She loved it on the rack, but it needed some work. I have to admit that I had my doubts. She has sewn only a little and this seemed like an ambitious project, but she snipped it here and tucked it there and ended up with this elegant gown!
It was a "Night of Enchantment"!

🌿Green is Bekah’s color! She is stunning! All the kids look so good in their fine evening garb. Many blessings on the busy days ahead...
ReplyDeleteThank you, Vee! I think Bekah made a great choice with this dress!
DeleteWhat a lovely dress she is wearing. In fact they all looked so smart.
ReplyDeleteThank you . . . and yes, they all were looking fine!
DeleteBekah looks lovely in her gown. How nice she was able to make adjustments herself! It looks like a fun evening for all them. The photo with the cheese balls must have a back story!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Martha Ellen! Goes to show that I should never underestimate Bekah!
DeleteHahaha! I laugh every time I see our friend with the cheese balls. Apparently, the kitchen was not too far away from the photo booth and someone had set the cheese balls on a nearby table. What is one to do when such an opportunity presents itself?! 🤣
Bekah's gown turned out beautifully.She looks beautiful in it. All of the kids looked so nice dressed up. It looks like they were all having a great time.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susie! It was such a special event and the kids had a great time!
DeleteOh such fun and beauty!!! Bekah looks gorgeous and the dress is perfect! Take care my friend as you tackle those final wedding plans for Katie. Enjoy the busyness if you can!
ReplyDeleteI will agree with you and the other commenters that Bekah looks beautiful in her dress! I am thoroughly enjoying the busyness, despite the catch in my throat.
DeleteI'm having some trouble commenting so I'll try again and see what happens. I love Bekah's dress and the fact that she found such a great deal and altered it herself. Bekah is a natural beauty and so cute that Macie wanted to look as pretty as her. You have so many great moments this year. God bless you all dearly!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ellen! It melted Bekah's heart that Macie wanted to look as pretty as her. So precious! Indeed, we are having such wonderful, heart-fluttering moments this year!
DeleteLooks like they had a great time!!!! <3!! Beautiful job on the dress!!! Great pics :-) !!!!~tammy
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tammy! They did have a wonderful time! I am going to have Bekah read all of these sweet comments. She will be overwhelmed!
DeleteOh such fun...and they all looked wonderful! But I must say your Bekah has the most beautiful eyes...and well, she is just stunning! And that gown...just perfect for her in that beautiful shade of green. Making memories that will last forever!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your sweet words about my "baby"! Ahhhhhh . . . the memories . . .
DeleteI missed this post here but did comment on FB so I'm not completely rude!
ReplyDeleteBekah is gorgeous and that color is amazing on her. What fun that she can share these events with her niece and nephew!
What an amazing dress! I love the color and that she foraged ahead and altered it herself, having a vision for what it could become! All the kids look great dressed up and you can see the excitement in their faces for their formal evening.
ReplyDeleteThinking and even praying for you as the weekend approaches!
