wedding wednesday: the bare necessities

Wednesday, May 19, 2010

i really wanted to have a space to share wedding photos and little stories/details. we had a lot of photos taken and i haven't had much of a chance to share them with people. plus, i like being able to look back and remember details and the days! which is why i wanted to start my version of a wedding wednesday!

max and i were married in december 2009. because of the uncertainty of his schedule and not knowing whether he would be able to be home/how long he would be able to be home, in the end we had two days of wedding festivities. our wedding ceremony (which was quite small) was held earlier in the week (just before christmas), with a lovely dinner following. and then later that week (after christmas), we had a much bigger reception. it ended up being just perfect and two very lovely days. of course, being from minnesota, it was very snowy and cold for both days, but that did make for some awesome photos!

i was having a hard time narrowing down how to go about picking out photos. which means i will err on the side of putting up more photos, rather than less. to start off my wedding wednesdays, i decided to share the basics of our two days (the dress, flowers, jewelry), so enjoy:

my dress! i loved it! and it had pockets (for handy things like lip gloss, kleenex and pacifiers, ha ha)

purple flats. i would have tripped in heels. plus, no one could see my feet! and i love flats and LOVE this color. and they matched the purple of the girls dresses. so voila!

the dress our daughter, L, wore :)

the men wore these stellar purple ties.

borrowed bracelets from a friend.

we made this headband, using old jewelry from my mom's box. the little flowers were my great-grandmother's earrings that we attached. and the sparkly side pieces were my mom's old shoe clips. i think it turned out quite lovely!

our rings. in a christmas tree.

my bouquet. i love the purple in there!
