It's All in the Details...

As promised here are some of the details of the Wedding...

Our Invitations:

I wanted something simple but still elegant;

I found the pre-cut white invitations which came with the eyelet cut pattern on the bottom and the small white bows.

I purchased the "Love" stamp at the craft store to add a bit extra and printed them at home.

Our Programs:

I purchased white card paper and vintage inspired scrapbooking paper as well as white ribbon from the craft store.

I made the programs booklet style with 4 pages and printed them off in the same font as I used for our invitations.

I included a little story on how we met and Derek's proposal as well as some pictures of us through the years.

Ceremony Ritual:

Part of our ceremony included a ritual where each guest took a stone as they entered the Ceremony hall, they were instructed to write an intention on the stone for us and our marriage.

The Dress(es):

My gown was ivory with a lace overlay, the detailing in the lace was done in spun gold which gave the dress a sheen to it and a little extra.

The Bridesmaids wore navy blue dresses with flower details on the left side under the bust.

Something Blue:

I wore Manolo Blahnik's Something Blue shoes (as seen in S&C movie)

{Something Borrowed - Grandmothers cuff bracelet

Something Old - Earrings Derek gave me as a gift

Something New - Garter}

The Ceremony Location:

Shawnessy Barn provided our rustic and unique backdrop to our Ceremony.

The Decor:

The Barn was decorated with twinkle lights, faux white and navy blue roses as well as strung lanterns and candles lining the aisle runner.

Grand Enterance:

My Daddy walked me down the aisle, coming in from the big double door enterance at the back which faced the park.

We hired a violinist to play as well.

Pictures:

Done by a talented family friend we took some pictures in the park behind the Barn as well as some in the rustic strip mall of Bragg Creek where our Reception was held.

I took this picture on the morning of the Wedding,

my makeup sponges were stuck together like this:

There you have it, some of the details that made our Wedding Day what it was!
