i do, me too...

when a picture is worth a thousand words
when a daddy gives his little girl away
when the two become one

ok

now we'll talk about  the stage:

she said 

i want old, chippy, white, and architectural

I said

how about this?

we started with the arched window 
(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

 it was her wedding present

I wanted her 

to be able to keep 
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

so 

come on back for part five.

This is a lot of work 
but 
it's making me sort through all of those pictures
to pick out my faves.
By the way,
for any local readers,
jamie is an awesome photographer
and
we highly recommend her

Grandma Rene' needed to buy these 

cute matching vests for all of the boys

and the dress for Madison.

we wanted  them all to be in the wedding

 but they were just too little

so

I  dressed them anyway.

P.S. are you having trouble loading all of the high resolution photos...I'm having a heck of a time

here comes the bride...

 Part 2

I simply loved this dress

it was unique 

it was beautiful

and

it was  just right for her

 the bodice was spark-ly and pretty

and

 very fitted on her tiny waist

if you've been here long you've seen the photos

of Miss G 

in the pink car with her graduation dress 

and her prom dress photo shoot

this dress was  so her

so full of style

so different

but so feminine

 the tea-length was per-fect

for a morning wedding

and for vintage style

lacy white leggings 

because 

it was November

 vintage jewelry:

earrings bought at Farm chicks from Lisa at A Thing for Roses

pearls from home...(thrifted)

and the brooch added from my Mom's stash of thrifted bling

she  combined it all...she's good like that

sweater: JC Penny 

she is so good at accessorizing

shoes: Nordstram's Rack

some of the cutest shoes I've ever seen

but

very uncomfortable

 enough of the shoes?

veil:  handmade by her sister

these just cause i think they're cute

and show all of the cute details

did i just say cute again?

well, it was

Remember the burlap bag?
