One Year Later: Our Wedding in Pictures II

We're back with day two of our wedding photos. It's so much fun looking back on all of this and thinking how much has happened in our lives since that day. I'm filled with happiness today because of it. The ceremony and reception are here for your enjoyment.

All photos at our wedding were taken by Sam Dean. A couple of fun facts about the evening-
+ My dress was from Kate Moss' last line for Topshop
+ We had three live bands play at our reception, and our friends The Old ONe Two learned Bob Dylan's "She Belongs to Me," to play at the reception. It's the same song I walked down the aisle to.
+ My family and I made all the floral arrangements for the wedding, and they were my favorite decorations of all
+The tie around my bouquet was a childhood memento of my Mamaw's, that was passed down to me after she died.
+ October is usually pretty warm in VA (like 70F) but the temperatures dipped to below 45F on our wedding day. It didn't get that cold again until February.
+ My Uncle made the arbor we used in the ceremony.
+ Katie read a quote from Jack Kerouac during the ceremony. This one.

One Year Later: Our Wedding in Pictures

First off THANK YOU SO MUCH for your sweet comments and congratulations on our anniversary. It made our day that much sweeter. Second, for the next two days, in honor of our 1 year anniversary, I'll be posting pics from our wedding day. I won't be using a lot of words in these posts, just letting the pictures tell the tale for us. I can't believe after all the trouble and care we went into selecting a photographer I've never shared any of the professional pictures here on the blog! We used a local photographer named Sam Dean and his vintage, romantic style fit in perfectly with our Barn fete.

Wedding Week: It's in the details

The over all feeling of the wedding was depression era farm life and we used elements from old tin cans to scrap vintage fabric garlands to achieve the feeling. The guestbooks were vintage autograph books from the 1890s, the favors were wild flowers seeds, each program came with a hankie or handkerchief, and the flowers were kept unruly. I made the burlap table runners from coffee bean bags and each member of the wedding party was giving loose guidelines as to what they should wear. The result was an eclectic mix of florals and rustic elements that played harmoniously against the Windward Farm backdrop.

I hope you enjoyed wedding week here on Secondhand Sundays. Next week it's back to normal life and newlywed nesting syndrome. I'm excited to share my married life, art endeavors and passionate living with you on the blog every day. I hope you'll keep coming back. big kiss, bekuh

Wedding Week: The Reception

When Ryan and I started planning the wedding there was one factor we both completely agreed upon; we wanted the reception to be a party. We decided to honor Ryan's passion for music and my love of it by having three bands play during the reception. To encourage dancing we offered limited regular seating and a lot of cocktail tables for people to stand around. We danced all evening, snacked on my mom's famous cobbler and listened to some amazing musicians play.

I wish I had pictures of all of the musicians but we'll have to wait until I get our wedding photographer's pictures to see those. For now enjoy the happy shots thanks to my uncle and new cousin Baileigh. big kiss, bekuh
