The Wedding Post 5: Couple Pictures

If I could change something about the wedding, I would want a little more creativity with our couple pictures. I was no help since I was hungover.

And I dont know why she edited my pictures so much that my flowers are looking red? They are suppose to be hot pink? But whatev. Cant change it now.

The Wedding Post 4:The Ceremony

I absolutely loved my ceremony location. The Greene Chapel at Hendrix College was so beautiful. The entire campus was gorgeouls.

 Our guest book was our engagement photos that I made through shutterfly

 My groom and MIL

Baby Brother and my mom

 One of my favorite parts of my wedding was my papaw marrying us



The Wedding Post 2: The Little Things

After I got the colors, venue, and dress, I went on a search for bridal party attire.

I googled hot pink and navy striped tie and came across The Tie Bar

 

These ties were around $15.

All the groomsmen and Mr. B wore these ties.

I put my dad and the two ushers in Navy ties that matched the vest.

 

Bridesmaid dresses came from David's Bridal.

I didnt really have the best of luck with Davids Bridal.

They just didnt have dresses and shoes ready when promised and got two of the BM dresses mixed up when they were picked up. In the end it all was straightened out.

 

I worked with the most amazing woman who decorated the ceremony.

I rented all the candelabras from her and she made all of our flowers, pew rose balls, altar spray, and a centerpiece we used at the reception.

 

Our guest book was a photobook I made from our engagment photos that Kristina took.

 

The Cake:

We tried several cake places before we were refered to Angela. She bakes out of her home and made the absolute BEST.CAKE.EVER.

Serious.

I sent her these two pictures of the cake I wanted (minus the smaller layers)

and the cake I wanted for the grooms cake.

My layers were strawberry, white, and strawberry

with strawberry filling. So so yum

 Mr.B's cake was chocolate with peanut butter filling and chocolate drizzle with reese cups.(his favorite)

 

Didnt she do a fabulous job recreating exactly what I wanted!!

I was blown away when I saw it

 

 

Bye y'all



The Wedding Post 1:Getting Started

Ahh the wedding. I could talk about my wedding for dayyyyysss.

So lets get to it.

Just about every detail was Pinterest inspired.

I knew I wanted Hot pink as a color. But I didnt know what my other color would be. I like turquoise, but I didnt want it to look too "cotton candy landish" .

So to pinterest I went and came across these picsl

.

Once I saw those colors together, I fell in love.

Groom: Check

Colors: Check

Now my dress....

I knew I wanted my dress to have three characteristics:

Sweetheart neckline

Fitted

Mermaid style

A girlfriend at work told me a bridal store was closing in a few days and they were having a MAJOR SALE!

So I call up the BFF Kristina and I tell her to meet me there after work.

This place had barely anything left on the racks.

So I grab a few.

The very first dress is almost exactly what I had in mind! It was just a little big, but it could be altered.

I try on two more just to make sure I was totally feeling the first one.

This was the real deal, sister.

I talked the sales guy into giving it to me 60% off!

Ladies, I scored this dress for less than $600!!!!

Hells yea!

Next we had to decide on a date.

This was a bit harder than I thought it was going to be.

I wanted to get married before I started the fall semester.

So that left us with four months.

I picked out a few venues and the only day we could get was August 4.

Done.

We had a date.

Now we need the bridal party.

I didnt know how many bridesmaids I wanted.

I knew I wanted Kristina as MOH and Mr. B's sister as a maid.

I ended up asking two cousins and a friend from Louisiana to be in the wedding.

Mr. B decided on his boys.

My baby brother and brother in law were the ushers.

I had my preacher picked out before I had my groom.

My papaw is a retired minister. When I was little Jenny Beth planning my wedding I knew he would be the one to marry me. Such a special part of my day.

So thats enough wedding talk today.
