Wedding Photos: the details

Whew! It has been a crazy week. I apologize for not being around here in the past few days. Savannah and I have been working hard on a few big projects and Drew and I have been working hard on some projects for our apartment. I can't wait to show you! The living//dining area is almost complete!

One of my favorite parts about our wedding were all the little details that made it unique and special. Here are some of my favorites and the stories behind them.

Our centerpieces were made from burlap squares, mason jars with ribbon, and lace tied around them filled with babies breath, all set on a wood stump covered in moss.

I had seen many people put stickers on the bottom of their shoes, but I painted "I do" for a more personal touch.

I ordered my garter off Etsy from Lola in Lace

Drew's grandmother gave me a sixpence to put in my shoe. She bought them almost 20 years ago for her grandchildren to have on their wedding day. The saying goes, "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. Happy is the bride with a sixpence in her shoe!"

We needed extra seating, so we added hay bales and threw quilts on top!

My dress was made out of chiffon - just like the curtains at the barn.

My mom and her friend made these boutineers for the groomsmen to wear.

The owners of the Barn customize this sign for every bride and groom. :)

We had so many mutual friends, it only made sense! I thrifted this sign and used chalkboard paint to write on it. (Much easier than regular chalk.)

I showed you all a preview of our guestbook here, but I added the little sign that says "Leaf your thumbprint please and sign your name."

This was a special idea that I had always wanted to do - embroidering the wedding date inside the hem of my dress in light blue thread. Aimee of Daisy Eyes did the embroidery work for me.
