Our Wedding: The Ceremony

I’m going to apologize ahead of time for the picture overload. Trust me I have narrowed them down, but it’s hard to pick your favorite wedding pictures!

So first let’s start with the decorations.

We had our reception right next door to the Chapel, at the Bottling Co. The venue is absolutely beautiful and doesn’t need very much decoration because of how pretty it is!

I kept it low budget by using a mix of spray painted glass bottles and used some whimsical flowers in each. I also cut a cork and painted the table numbers on a piece of paper. Took me awhile, but was worth it by how much money we saved! We also had bread on each table with different dips for the guests as they arrived.

I wrote tables assignments in fun font and strung them across this vintage mirror (check Facebook marketplace for wedding finds, that’s where I got the mirror!)

One thing about the Bottling Co. that I LOVE, is that it has a fireplace and two mantles to decorate. Even though it was too hot to have the fire on, I still loved decorating the mantles. I made these tassel banners myself using some cute tissue paper I got at Michaels.

Also, with all the decor I purchased, I made sure it was stuff I could use again in my home.

We also had a lot of cute little signs everywhere. I made these out of vintage frames from the thrift stores, and a pack of wedding scrapbooking cards from Michaels.

For our wedding favor we did a s’mores bar. This was something special to us because we met at a bonfire where we ate s’mores, and when Todd proposed we ate s’mores together again! 🙂

For food we had appetizers and lots of desserts!

For our guestbook we did a scrapbook with polaroids which I am going to share more about in another post!

Now onto the actual reception! 😉

We obviously arrived, then ate, and then moved onto our dances. I danced to “My Little Girl” by Tim McGraw with my Dad.

Todd and his Mom danced to “Then They Do” by Trace Adkins.

And we danced to “Amazed” by Lodestar. By our song selection you would think we were huge country fans, but we really aren’t, that’s just the way it all played out. haha!
