This is the day everyone prepares for throughout the whole of high school. On the 1st of June we all celebrated prom at a huge venue an hour away from our hometown, we have been leading up to this day for a long time. It is crazy to think that this is the end of an era. A huge era, and a huge part of my life. Prom was absolutely amazing, and getting all dressed up was so much fun.
If you know me personally, you know although I am a girly girl, I never wear heels, dresses or get dressed up. Ever. Prom was the first time I ever wore heels (and probably the last if I get my way), and a big dress, which was so pretty, but still makes me feel weird to see myself like that!
I know prom is pretty big in the UK, but its actually not so big here in Canada. No one got ready together, people were stressed, and most people arrived alone. Only one of my friends was available to get ready together. Last minute she cancelled, and instead we just carpooled, but it was still fun going to prom together! I spent my prom with absolutely amazing people, and wouldn’t change that for the world.
We went and took some photos by the lake before arriving at the venue. It had been raining just before, but we still got a few good photos. Plus I know the memories will last forever : )
We were the first ones to arrive as everyone was stuck in traffic and was an hour late. It was nice being the only ones there for a bit, it meant we got to go to the Photo Booth without waiting, and we were the first to have our photos taken! If I do say so myself, I would say that was pretty special! Haha!!
The food wasn’t the best (soup, sweet & savoury salad, strange chicken and crepes), so I didn’t bother eating anything (which was fine as I wasn’t hungry anyway!). We danced, took photos, chatted, and walked around in the evening air. My group of friends went home at 9:30 (where you babes going, its prom?! Haha!). And a few of us stayed later dancing and chatting and got home at 11:30.
Getting dressed up was fun, and prom was good! Im an anxious person and huge social settings really is not my scene, but it was still amazing! Either way I had an amazing time spent with some gorgeous people, and everyone dressed up so beautifully!!
Pin it for later!
Do you remember your prom, or have you yet to attend? Tell me about it!

Ahhh your dress!! So so pretty! You look beautiful <3 My prom was the same day as yours but two years earlier which seems insane! Can't believe it's been so long! I went with my friends and we all got a limo there and played abba songs full blast whilst drinking fake champagne haha! I was the same about the heels though, mine were definitely off by the end of the night ! Glad yours was good – even if everyone else was a wee bit late 😀

You look so stunning! That dress is gorgeous and your hair and makeup work so well! You look like you had an amazing time too. We didn’t really have prom where I grew up, so always feel like I missed out. So I’m totally living vicariously through you in these pictures! 🙂 xx

I never went to prom when I was at school so it’s always lovely to see other people’s photos and memories from such an amazing event. I LOVE the dress you wore, it’s beautiful, the flower detail is my favourite. Loved looking at and reading this post. I’ve just dropped you a follow on Bloglovin!
