♥ our wedding: details & decor.

going into it, nick and i had very little experience with weddings.

i was never one of those girls who always dreamed of the day her father 

would walk her down the aisle. i had no expectations, really, which is both 

a blessing and a curse, because i had no idea where to begin! 

thankfully, our wedding was a few months behind my sister's

which allowed us plenty of time to figure out what we wanted,

and a collective creative effort to help execute it.

i am happy to say our wedding turned out

 absolutely perfect.

here are some of my favorite details:

i made the wedding ring pillow from a vintage scarf purchased 

at my favorite store, streamline antiques.

my little sister, jennie gifted lissy & i with our own custom dress hangers.

mine had a big blue heart, which was reminiscent of my wedding shoes.

i wanted the wedding flowers to look like i had walked through a field and gathered

them myself. after hundreds of emails, jen & jessica gave me just what i wanted. we used 

milk bottles, mason jars, mercury candle holders & lanterns to complete the tables.

the programs were made from etsy shop, extravagant exits.

and were filled with handfulls of hand-stamped heart confetti.

i hand-made colorful flower pins from felt for each guest and used each to

 designate the table number at which they would be seated. we laid them on top of a 

roll of astroturf & used small chalkboards to number each table.

i wrote out our wedding menu on a diy chalkboard i made using a

 bit of white spray paint, chalkboard paint & this ikea frame.

our kitty cat cake topper came, from etsy shop, melabo.

i am still so in love with it.

both of our parents had paper bells of some sort at their weddings, so i thought i would

be nice to continue the tradition and tied some simple pink & white vintage-looking

 bells to the trellis under which we tied the knot.

our wedding favors were two delicious snickerdoodle cookies

baked lovingly by my momma. each package was wrapped in tulle &

tagged with these adorable labels, made by me with this stamp.
