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

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 






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?
