Show Us Your Life Friday-Wedding Party & Flowers

It's Friday and that means the next segment of "Show us Your Life" on Kelly's Korner. This week's topic is to share your wedding ceremony photos showing the wedding, wedding party, and flowers.

First my bouquet. It was made of two dozen lavendar and white roses with baby's breath. After freaking out about other florists' prices, I found a shop that made my bouquet for only $65. Bridesmaids bouquets were similar but with only one dozen roses and they were only $35.

Instead of pew bows, I took small metal buckets I bought at Wal-Mart for $1 and spray painted them white. I added some silk hydrageas and pearls and suspended them from the pews with ribbon. It was a Martha Stewart idea. (This is a bad photo scan, but you get the idea.)

And finally the ceremony shot. I don't remember what all songs we had, but I have the CD still of the music. We did a unity candle and the blessing of the hands reading. I didn't want an aisle runner because I thought I might trip, but now I wish I had one. We were married at our church.

Here we are leaving the church with bubbles everywhere.

And a shot from the back. Our photographer had an assitant who took photos too so we have shots from the front and the back.

Finally a shot of the whole crew. This is my stepdad's truck. I believe it is a 1941 Plymouth. We had posing for photos by it.

Share Your Wedding Dress

Kelly's Korner is having a Show Us Your Life-Wedding Dresses party so I'm joining the fun. She has the most awesome posts on Fridays to share different parts of your life, it's worth checking out if you've never been to her blog.

Our wedding day was June 4, 2004. It's crazy that it's already been over 5 years.

Mine was a Mary's Bridal dress. I found it at a store, but ending up ordering it online from one of those really big online bridal shops. I can't remember the name of it now. I think it cost around $450. I loved all the detailing on it. I tried on several different ones at different stores, but this one just felt right. The veil, tiara, and jewelry I bought all from e-bay.



First the shot with the hubby.




This is a bad scan, but one of the few pictures the clearly shows my whole dress with the train.






You can see the details on the front here.

Similar beading and detailing on the back. It's still sitting in the garment bag, 5 years later. I should have it cleaned or something.

Thanks for looking!

Five Years in a Flash

Today is my 5th wedding anniversary. I can't believe it's already been 5 years, it went by so fast. We've had our ups and downs, but it's been a blast spending everyday with my best friend. God has blessed us in so many ways. Here's a few pictures looking back on that special day 5 years ago when we became man and wife.
