My Favorite Wedding Moments



Our wedding was a week ago today. I wanted to write down some favorite memories while they are still fresh.

My Top 5 Wedding Moments

5. Dancing with my Mama to (I've Had) the Time of My Life at the end of the night.

4. Standing at the edge of the lake alone with JT looking back at the long stretch of tents glowing and music bumping and saying "Can you believe all of that is for us?!"

3. After a cloudy misty foggy afternoon the sun came out just as JT and I were saying our vows.

2. Going to a little local bar across the street from our venue late that night, just the 2 of us, having a beer and him buying me a bar t-shirt. We didn't want the night to end and it was nice being alone and excitedly comparing stories from the days events (and getting a few curious looks from the locals).

and my most favorite memory...

1. Making the floral arrangements with my Mom, my Aunt Connie, Uncle Danny and my Groom. I loved that my family came together to make so many things happen for our big day, it made everything so special. My Aunt Connie said she would grow some peonies for our wedding... that was an understatement! We had sooo many peonies thanks to her! The dining room/kitchen area of the lake house my mom rented looked like a florist shop. There were flowers everywhere! My groom who had never arranged flowers in his life was suddenly an expert and was making great arrangements. We  all talked while we made floral arrangements late into the night and there were a few times that we started singing songs together. It was a really great night :)

The flowers turned out even better than I had imagined. I saved money and have a favorite memory. Win-win.

06.08.13 My Wedding Dress Hanger


I make so many wedding dress hangers, I wanted to do something a little different for my own. Two hearts and a lot of glitter did the trick.

April Showers Brings JUNE Flowers; my bridal shower!

My mama and my aunts threw me an amazing bridal shower in Niagara Falls. The theme they chose was "April Showers". There were umbrellas, clouds and rain everywhere (it even rained that day!). I was really blown away by all they did for me, I felt like a princess!




 
The shower was held at Red Coach Inn in a room overlooking the rapids of Niagara Falls.






My mom made 4 of these rose covered balls by covering a styrofoam ball with roses that she made out of rolled tisse paper.









My flower girl checking out the cake.


Loved the roses in the rain boots! Cute!


Vintage umbrella cups filled with pink & gold m&ms mingled in with the other desserts on the dessert table.








 Guests were sent recipe cards with the invitation, to fill out with favorite recipes and bring to the shower to fill a pretty pink recipe card box.



Guests were given pretty pink umbrellas...

Kate Spade shower gel and....

a lip gloss as favors.


We played bridal shower bingo using heart shaped candies as bingo markers.

This was a money tree... I had to answer questions about JT. For every question I got right I could cut money off of the tree. The questions were really hard but it was a really funny game!


They game me a pink & gold Lilly Pulitzer wallet to put my money tree winnings in!

Vintage brooch my mama wore at the party.


They even decorated the bathroom!



I gave my mom and my aunts April Shower candles from Yankee Candle to thank them for throwing me my gorgeous shower.

JT... the groom :)

Just a few weeks to go... so exciting!
