A couple weeks before the party, I started going a little (or a lot ;)) crazy because I was making all of the decorations and the cake and felt everything wasn't coming together yet. But my sweet dear friends Erin and Nina saved my sanity and gave me so many amazing and beautiful suggestions! Thank you so much girls!! And my Mom helped decorate and do SOOO much that day (and the day before!)! She is more than awesome!
We got to Skype my Dad and Aunt in from Arizona for the ceremony (SOO special!!) but they wanted to see all of the decorations since they only got to see a few!
So here are, lots of pics, little words ;-)
The Family Room
{friends and fam were so sweet and brought gifts, they were so thoughtful}
I got a bunch of pictures printed and decorated with them, one of the girls' many wonderful ideas!
Littlest's banner {the lighting wasn't the best for these pics, oops}
Kitchen Table - Hors d'oeuvres
{I love the tulips! :)}
The Dining Room - The food and some desserts - Fried chicken, turkey meatballs, coleslaw, potato salad, bread, macaroni and cheese
{my serving dishes got moved around and then other pieces were added but I thought it still looked pretty :)}
My Mom made the a-dorable watermelon carriage!! She always does such a great job on those!
{see the bottles strung around with the bow? my Mom's cute idea!}
The Kitchen - Cake and drinks (and hor d'oeuvre table in previous pics :))
{if you look close you can see three little bottles strung with the bow :)}
The Cake
The cake did not come out at all like what I had in my head but I still had fun making it. :)
Most importantly it was such a special day and we all had a wonderful time!
