the wedding story...part 1

Here is the wedding...

in a few snapshots...

{a corner of the mantle}

the venue was a boy scout camp...

{lesson #1...think about how many guests,

ceremony/ reception layout & the "look" you want...

before renting bulding!}

In this case it worked out fine..

there was lots of windows & doorways to work around..

{& some of the guest could not see the ceremony real great!}

but the building had a "rustic"lodge feel to it...

                                           

 {excuse the rolled rug & tape- obviously this was reheasal!}

This is the backdrop that my talented husband made...

the pillars are painted to look like stone...

the guest register...

{obviously @ rehearsal too...notice the slippers!}

vintage spools are from Anthropologie...

 {love that place!:)}

{martha stewart recipe box}

I happened upon an old recipe box here

filled with 2 sets of the original cards...

guest were asked to take one & write down

their names & a thought, memory or advice for the newlyweds...

{fun idea...but not all guest participated :(so we don't know exactly who was there!}

flowers were done by a friend of the bride...

love them...

keep peeking for part 2....

{& if you are snowed in like we are, here in the midwest...enjoy your leisurely day :)}

--He giveth snow like wool, He scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes...

Psalm 147: 16
