Wedding Week: The End

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US!

It has been two amazing years since Brandon and I said "I do". It has been such a wonderful two years ad we are so thankful for all the blessings that the Lord has given us. Truly, we look back on these past years and can only smile at our journey. We are very excited to look ahead and see what the Lord has in store for us going forward.

To end wedding week I wanted to end with a big bang but I am going to be completely honest - I am a little wedding burned out. I am a little tired of seeing all these pictures of me - as I am sure you are too. So instead of sharing about our honeymoon or how we celebrated our one year anniversary I am just going to continue with the wedding inspiration.

So here is just a fun collection of images that caught my eye and made me smile and imagine. Enjoy!

Sorry there are so many images of this one wedding - I just adored the english castle setting. So gorgeous. It would be my dream to have a wedding at a place like this.

Thanks for visiting wedding week! I hope you picked up some fun ideas and pieces of inspiration.

I'll be back with some non-wedding goodness soon.

In the meantime I will be celebrating with the hubby!!

Wedding Week: Inspiration and Ideas

This so far is my favorite post of wedding week because there are so many things that a) I wish I would have thought of or known about and b) I wish every bride had a limitless budget (or all weddings were free) so that these things could all be done without loads of time, creativity and talent. Because let's face it, most of us could not DIY this stuff and make it look so good. And even if you DIY, it doesn't mean it is always cheap - sometimes just cheaper or just homemade. Anyway, it's still fun to look at beautiful photos and gain some inspiration.

Click the images below to be brought to these inspirational blogs - they are amazing.

So who doesn't love inspiration boards - especially when it is a wedding inspiration board. So much goodness packed into such a small space.

I wish I would have seen this cake for my wedding. I would have loved to have like 4 tiers of this design. It would have fit right in.

This cake is so fun. Who would have thought of decorating with rock candy? I had rock candy in our candy bar but on the cake.....spectacular. It isn't for your traditional wedding but it rocks..haha.

Love, love, love these place cards. Yes, they are place cards. Genius!

I love this idea for place cards. Yummy and practical. Just grab some fun straws from thinkgarnish like these:

to tie to the bottles and your guests are good to go.

Now there is nothing more I love than lots of lush and beautiful fresh flowers but this bouquet had me at hello. It is so soft and sweet and loaded with tons of interest and creativity. If you can't see yourself carrying something like this down the aisle (I probably couldn't) then maybe your bridesmaids could. I still don't know if I would do that but I totally would use this as my flowers for the toss the bouquet tradition - who wouldn't love catching this momento from the wedding. It would also make a great prop for some of your wedding photos and the best part is, it won't die. You could have it forever. I am thinking of even making one for my house - a permanent bouquet for the living room.

I am in love with these ring boxes. They are a beautiful heirloom item and the idea of engraving them makes my heart happy. So so sweet.

Wedding Week: The Big Day - At The Reception

We're back for part two of the big day, at the reception. Bran and I thought it was a fun night but I think we are biased. Well you're not here to listen to me blab about it so here you go....

a little tired from too much dancing.

the flower girl didn't like the simplicity of the dress so I bought her a tiara, gloves, and fancy jewelry and put it all in a pretty purse so she could glam herself up for the party. it was pretty cute and we both won.

Goodnight!
