Wedding Recap Part I

So, I am back. Sorry for the delay and absence. I know you missed me every minute of your day.

I want to go back through some of my favorite things about our wedding. First, it will help cure the post-wedding blues that I've only been avoiding with a busy work and social schedule up until this point. Second, I reviewed many other weddings, so I must review my own. Third, you KNOW you want to hear more!

I am going to start by talking about the events leading up to the actual wedding. For one, making programs. This became a huge task because I put it off for so long, and of course I wanted to make them really unique, so I stressed over content, format, materials, construction... My awesome friend Nadja came over to help one weekend while Kyle was at his bachelor party in Vegas. We ran out of card stock, had to wait because Hobby Lobby is closed on Sundays, got FedEx/Kinkos to professionally cut them so we saved our hands from arthritis, (They are the BEST and their machine rocks), and had lots of wine.

Here is the result:

Along with programs, my sister-in-law, Karen, helped me to construct our table "numbers" which were named for places Kyle and I love in Colorado. We ordered picture frames off Etsy, added labels, and inserted photos of Kyle and me at the locations. Here is a compilation of the frames:

I think they turned out pretty cute!

My mom and in-laws helped to construct the aisle runners, which made the aisle space a bit tighter than we expected for 3 people (both dads got caught up on the trees), but were SO beautiful and just what I imagined.  Here is a shot of them, I am sure you'll see more when I get the wedding pictures themselves posted.

So, as you can see, the details really started to come together nicely. I think that my vision was pretty close to the final result!
