Show Us Your Life: Wedding Party & Flowers

This week at Kelly's Korner the theme is: Show us (and tell us about) your Wedding Party and Flowers.

I had an amazing wedding party! My matron of honor was Candice, my best friend since 3rd grade! My other bridesmaids were my sisters Jenny, Becky, and Rachael, and Casey, who I've been friends with since middle school. They are all the best friends a girl could ask for!


Here is the entire wedding party in front of the Dresser Mansion, where we got married.

I loved the back of the bridesmaids dresses.

We had this picture taken of all of our guests at the end of the ceremony. We had a little blurb in the program that said, "Once the wedding party has reached the end of the aisle, please stand, turn, and smile for a group photo." We also had my dad mention it right before he pronounced us. We used this photo for the front of our thank you cards, and added the words "Thank You" in a scripty font in the bottom right corner, along with our names and wedding date. They were a lot of work to make, but everyone absolutely loved them!

Here is a picture of me with my flowers:

And a close-up of my bouquet, which also had a rhinestone cross in it that you can kind of see here.

The bridesmaids' bouquets:

This is inside the mansion...I love this photo.

If you look behind my dad in this picture, you'll see some hydrangeas, which I loved! We actually have them on our back veranda now...I hope I can keep them alive for awhile. My mom's had them the last 3 years but I recently took the reigns...yikes! Wish me luck. :)

That's all for today. Wedding dresses last week was so fun! It's not too late to link up...so come on! Next week is the reception, and then that's it for weddings. I'm off to check out everyone else's fun stuff! :)
