when a daddy gives his little girl away
when the two become one

she said
i want old, chippy, white, and architectural
I said
how about this?
we started with the arched window
(borrowed from my bestie)
(borrowed from my bestie)
backed with burlap
next we added 2 chippy doors
the sideboard/dresser is a piece from my thrifting,
that we shabbied up
she picked it out from my stash

I wanted her
to be able to keep
her marriage altar
her marriage altar
as an heirloom
recognize the sconces used for the unity candle lighting?
yep, they're from my bedroom
next week,
I'll finish
showing you
the rest of the decorations
and
what we ate

WARM HUGS FROM ME ........
So many lovely photos! Your sweet girl looks so beautiful, so sweet and so very young, but who am I to talk? I got married two week after my 20th birthday! (And I'm still happily married 17.5 years later!) Best wishes to the adorable couple! It's so nice to see young couples, full of excitement and dreams starting out their lives together! And I love how you decorated the stage! Happy New Year to you and your lovely family! You can see the love in all these wonderful photos you have shared!
Hugs,
Michelle
So gorgeous and unique! this wedding should be featured in a wedding magazine.I'm having a blast just drooling over every aspect.
I LOVE the stage !! I want to get married again :). What a clever idea using things that she will be able to work into her home. So many of us are stuck w/traditional wedding things and no use for them after a few hours.
Really, I couldn't love it more. You did a fantastic job !
You have got to be one of the best moms out there. Your beautiful daughter is so blessed to have you as mom. Such wonderful pictures and editing to match. God bless and Happy New Years to you and all your family!
Just so absolutely gorgeous, makes me want to get married all over again! How wonderful that she gets to have the "marriage" dresser. It's just perfect! Her wedding needs to be in a magazine. So glad you linked up with VIF,
much love for a Happy New Year!

Well ya know she's got a grounded guy when you can see his sneakers! good for her, bravo! I love the picture of them facing each other and you see her dainty shoes and his sneakers, its out of the movies. Love it, love it!
Oh Rene, this has been so much fun! It's as good as being there. Ember and I were just talking about how much we loved what you and Grace did for her wedding. I love the dress you wore. It is BEAUTIFUL!
Can't wait to see more.

I just spent the last twenty minutes on your blog, reading through the last many posts. I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed my visit. The beauty, inspiration, creativity, photography, and tender moments that I found here, blessed my day in a special way. I just loved the wedding pictures and all the details that were so carefully included in day. In light of the fact that our youngest daughter is getting married on the 8th, it was so much fun to read your heart in the comments with the pictures. It was certainly a most special event. Thank you so much for documenting with your thoughts and the amazing photography. I appreciated it so very much!
Happy New Year to you and your lovely family!
Dear Rene, what a fab wedding. I like the theme and you did a great job all round. Have a blessed new year, dear lady :o)
Hugs
I just scrolled through your daughter's wedding photos and I think they are amazing. I love the clothes, the colours, the setting for the altar, etc. What a sweet couple they are! I wish them a lifetime of happiness. And, I wish you a very happy and blessed new year!

I am sooooo enjoying this wedding...smiles, Linda
This is just the sweetest wedding I have ever seen,and your daughter is gorgeous.
What I beautiful,beautiful wedding...I love everything about it, from the colors she chose to the cute shoes he's wearing! Wishing you a joyful and happy New Year!
Oh Rene', what a beautiful vintage inspired wedding. I've so enjoyed looking at all these lovely photos and what a gorgeous bride she is.
How fun to decorate for, but I'm sure in a way you are glad it is over. Btw, that white corbel looks familiar. Who wouldn't want a wedding full of architectural interest? Probably my daughters when they're older:(
Best wishes to you and your family in the new year.

Your daughter's wedding is SO sweet and SO special! I just love it! I'm really enjoying seeing all the wonderful vintage details - you are incredibly talented. The wedding dresser - what a wonderful idea! The icing on the cake is your beautiful daughter and how happy she looks with her new husband.
