DIY-ish Wedding Anniversary Gift for him

I wanted to come up with a creative and thoughtful gift for my hubby of one whole year.  What I came up with was a ton of fun to do and create!

One Year Wedding Anniversary Photo Shoot

Looking back at an awesome year of marriage!
I was able to wear my most expensive gown again and get all done up like a princess just for the heck of it!

Tools/ Materials:
-Wedding gown
-Friend to take gorgeous pics (for free!)
-Friend to style hair
-Make up artist (Aveda store at the mall.  Instead of paying a service fee they just let me buy some products.  So I was able to get my make up down and walk away with stuff too!)
-Accessories (for me it consisted of 3 different necklaces, a wrap, and a simple bouquet)
-Location with natural light
-Photo center

After getting copies of the pictures I uploaded them to my local photo center (Walgreens in this case) and make a cute little photo book in about an hour!





I had so much fun with this project that I might try it again until the dress doesn't fit any more!  Might as well get as many uses out of it as I can right?!
