Our Wedding {A Few of My Favorite Things}

It was so fun to share a sampling of our wedding photos last week! Flipping through them again brought me right back to that beach and the amazing feeling of that day.

As my mother recently told me, 'you were positively beaming the entire time.' And I was, both inside and out, despite being sick the night before. Despite waking up to no running water. Despite it being the windiest day of the entire year!

Yet it was all perfect. Here are a few more of the reasons why:

The surroundings.



All of our DIY flowers, especially my bouquet.



Our Polaroid guestbook.



Candlelight everywhere.



The local wildlife.



Our DIY decor (that all had to be moved inside at the very last second. I didn't even know. It was brilliant.)




The fashion. Wearing the dress lived up to the hype.



A proper cocktail. We called this one the 'Happily Ever After.'



Family.



And, most importantly, my husband.

Nearly 9 months later and I'm still not quite used to saying that. The honeymoon period isn't over yet!

Next up, a peak into our hometown reception.

Our Wedding Photos Debut!

It's official. I"m finally able to share our wedding photos! Thanks so much for being patient with me. It's actually fun to get to show them to you now since at this exact time last year we were in the thick of planning!



Head to Style Me Pretty, where the darlings Abby adn Erin have posted a great sampling of Jose Villa's beautiful work. You can also read a bit more detail about how we pulled everything together.

I also want to say a formal thank you to all of my fabulous vendors!

I got so much help from incredibly talented people including  Brown Sugar Design, Grace Edmands Caligraphy, Primele, Party Poms, Country Life Naturals and Paloma’s Nest. Our day would not have come together so beautifully without them.

Also, be sure to check back - I'm so excited to share even more photos and stories of some of my favorite moments from that amazing day!
