July Wedding

Summer weddings were a time for family, friends, and of course LOVE. This glamorous July wedding started with an incredibly beautiful black and white appliqued dress by Allure, and this bride had exactly the right personality and look to pull off this complete package of gorgeousness.

Decorating: A Bit of Heaven

Cake: Lalee Cakes



 Over 100 wine glasses became pillar, votive candle holders, and cake stands. Along with the glasses, crystal vases, and glittering rhinestone broaches,  a whole lot of love brought everything  together to make this one glamorous wedding.

Destination: Holy Matrimony

When my pretty niece married her handsome pilot, the ceremony flew to new heights. Where am I going with this? To destination Holy Matrimony, of course. 

This airplane themed vintage wedding had everything from flight attendants to lip smackingly delicious retro soda. (most of the picture credits go to https://www.facebook.com/#!/ashley.duchsherer)

Flight attendants gave pre-wedding instructions as wedding guests enjoyed peanuts and orange juice.  

After arriving  at "I Do," guests were treated to a reception that was a feast for the senses.  

milk and cookie buffet

Placemats could be folded into paper airplanes. 

Flags could be raised if more food was desired.  

An airplane themed wouldn't have been complete without a fly by!

Unfortunatly for my niece and her husband, and many other Minot residents, the flood of 2011 hit the week after this wonderful wedding. Their "new" home, as well as thousands of others, has been ravaged by flood waters. Upon return of their honeymoon (which included a stop at American Pickers), they found 5' of flood water on the main floor of their house and mold beyond belief. Needless to say, their honeymoon cottage has become a disaster zone. One day at a time, and the sweet smiles that their "oh so wonderfully fun" wedding bring to those of us who attended, will help everyone survive this flood disaster. Prayers for everyone bearing this burden.  

Wedding Flowers

It's been a busy week. I, along with two wonderful helpers, put together wedding bouquets, arrangements, corsages, and boutonnieres with 175 white and red roses. The brides bouquet had white roses in the center.

Bridesmaids bouquets were lush with red roses.

The reception was centered around a nature theme. We put miniature roses and leather leaf on the tables.
Love this cake.

Oil lamps made of beautiful rocks carried on the nature theme.

Blessings,
