Tying the Knot...Part I

Well, I had every intention of getting some of our wedding photos up on the blog earlier this calendar week and it just took a lot longer than expected, with over 800 photos to get through- all taken by the lovely (and talented) Jeanne Ciasullo. But here are a few to start… We were married in a park chosen Treaty Oak, under an over 200 year sometime oak tree. It is even more than massive than it looks and some of its branches actually touch the ground. And so, information technology felt very enclosed and intimate.

Of class, there were MANY (probably too many) diy projects that I took on for the wedding. One of the things we fabricated was the fabric banner that hung above us during the ceremony. It was really fun and easy to make, and it didn't take very long either (a couple of hours). So I may practise a tutorial next week for the web log if anyone is interested. Our colors were white, gold yellow and charcoal gray, with hints of grayish-blue, and a kraft-colored brown. Nosotros stuck to those colors pretty loosely and tried to simply have fun with it.

Nosotros decided to guild all of our flowers from Whole Foods and I did all of the floral arrangements and bouquets myself. My mom fabricated all the boutonnieres for the groomsmen and Jeff. I retrieve they turned out actually nice- I was going for a woodsy romance vibe. I love arranging flowers, and so I knew I would desire to exercise it myself from the very offset, but I volition say that it was a lot, and I practice mean a lot, of piece of work. I institute vintage handkerchiefs at a thrift store to wrap effectually all the bouquets and tied them off with craft string and then secured a pendant to each.

I made personalized clay pendants for each of the bridesmaids and myself…unfortuanately, I lost 1 of the pendants, so the image on the correct shows a vintage pin that I already had, that I used for that bouquet at the last infinitesimal.

Jeff designed the programs and nosotros printed them off the reckoner and cut them to size. Very easy! Only the simplest project of all was the holder for our rings, which was a book with a cut out "cubby pigsty" and some ribbon. And so simple. Our reception was held at the rooftop atrium of library, and so nosotros tried to tie the book theme into the ceremony. And Jeff's brother-in-law (now mine likewise), who married us, used an Andrew Wyeth book as his "binder" for the anniversary script.

Since both Jeff and I wanted to make sure our personalities were represented, we decided to write the ceremony and our vows ourselves. We had no music during the ceremony, except for a guitar. Jeff played a vocal (even brought an amp but didn't use information technology) as I walked down the aisle with my parents to meet him and and then my brother played a vocal as we walked out. It was one of my favorite parts.

Afterward the ceremony, nosotros took some pictures on the train tracks, which was fun! Made for some time to only relax and hang out past ourselves before the reception. So, at present that I have rambled on and on, I think I will finish myself earlier I brand this the longest post ever created. I will mail more than side by side week.
