Our Wedding Pictures: Part 1

We got our wedding pictures from Ryan last night, and I was so emotional looking through them. Truly the best day of ours lives, and he captured every moment so beautifully. There are a ton… so be patient! I’m going to post some them today and the rest tomorrow. Below you’ll find picture before and during the ceremony.

Jewelry Heaven

sweetandspark

I love finding new online treats, especially those of the jewelry nature. I first discovered Sweet & Spark months ago (here), but hadn’t made a purchase until recently. I bought the gorgeous little gold bow pin in the picture above – the perfect jacket or blazer accessory. It arrived this weekend, wrapped perfectly with the cutest postcards ever (Mara, I’ll be needing your address…). Chunky gold jewelry has forever been my obsession, and I’ve got my eyes on these three gold gems. The pearl necklace is so classic. Decisions, decisions, decisions. So happy to “Share the Spark”! Especially because the founder, Jillian, is an absolute angel. Go and see what you find.

Our Rehearsal Dinner

Our Rehearsal Dinner was on Thursday, July 18 at Gundlach Bundschu – we invited our bridal party and family to the dinner, then opened the event up to all guests for drinks at the end of the night. I honestly couldn’t have envisioned a better way to start the wedding festivities. I got to meet some of Sasha’s extended family for the first time and saw some of our Scottish friends whom I haven’t seen in years. A very relaxed evening and a perfect segue to the Big Day.

Wedding Stationery Crush

We’re having our invitation design review on Friday + I’m like a kid in a candy shop – so excited. I went to Oh So Beautiful Paper the other day + spotted the most gorgeous wedding + rehearsal dinner stationery by Jay Adores Design Co. Are they not incredible? I super love the packaging. Then, I snooped + found their Save-the-Dates. Also amazing. Huge paper crush right now.

Unique Guestbook Ideas

I know the wedding isn’t until July, but I keep on thinking of little details and getting stressed that I haven’t made decisions about what we are going to do, like, for example, our guestbook. I’ve done some research and found a lot of fun, creative ideas. I have my favorite, but won’t share until after the wedding! Got to leave a little bit of mystery, right?
