Our Wedding

Josh and I were married on October 11, 2013. We had a beautiful fall wedding at a lodge close to home with about 130 of our closest friends and family. It was the perfect size for a wedding and we had a BBQ buffet and dessert bar along with smore's by the fire.

I spent a lot of thought and Pinterest idea executing into creating our wonderful wedding so I wanted to share some pictures!

Chalkboards were a major theme from the invitations to the favors!

Neither Josh or I are huge dessert fans so a dessert bar including smore's were the perfect option!

During the cocktail hour we had a popcorn bar with 6 different seasoning options that was a huge hit!

Josh's dad passed away when he was younger, so my gift to him were cufflinks with his dad's picture in one and the words " Forever in our hearts" with our wedding date in the other.
They were one of the things I was most excited about :)

I made the flowers for the bouquets and boutonnieres out of burlap and tulle. As much as I love fresh flowers these were fun to make and now will last forever!

Rather than a unity candle or sand Josh and I actually tied a knot that I plan to put into a shadow box along with other pieces from our wedding. We loved how different it was and so did our guests!

Our wedding ended up being on the last gorgeous and warm day in October here in the Midwest and we loved sharing such a special unity with the people that we love the most!
