{Details}

We had a lot of details in our wedding and our photographer did a great job of capturing them. I think she had way too much fun while we were getting ready taking photos of the little things. 

Our rings

My Jewelry

Bridesmaid Bouquet and our handmade invites (click here to see process).

I had this charm of my Grandpa on my bouquet. He passed away last February, but was still with me on my wedding day.

Our Cake. The topper was bought at theknot.com

Our Birdcage card holder. I made the sign in the same ribbon that was on the bouquets and the centerpieces and the paper is the same paper that we used for the invites.

Our centerpieces and favors. Our favors were so so so cute. They were all different, but still in pink and sangria. They all had an envelope on the front that had a packet of wildflower seeds in them and on the back there was a poem that I wrote. It said:

Thank you!

For you, enclosed, is some wild flower seed, 

When you arrive home, some love they will need.

Find a nice place for them to bloom,

Preferably outside in the dirt, not in a room.

We hope when you see the flowers grow,

You think of the vows we made and the love we show.

We thank you once again, for coming and sharing our day,

Please enjoy your time here-eat, dance and play!

With love, 

Ryan and Sarah K

It also had our new address and our irave photo sharing site (btw, awesome idea!!). 

Our head table.  It had our unity candle in the middle was a floating candle in a vase.

{Snow Getaway}

Our snow getaway was so memorable, I thought I needed to share the video with you so you could get the full effect! :)

Enjoy!

{Receiving Line and Getaway...s}

After the wedding, we were so blissed out that nothing mattered! Minus the snow confetti... :) And, make sure you count the getaway vehicles!

Yea for being married!

Best looking receiving line ever!

So, I know I'm biased, but I love my dress. 

And my ring!

Friends waiting to shower us with bubbles and confetti

So, the snow I got was actually bio-degradable confetti. It melted in water...or sweat. Which was pouring down Ryan's face. It melted into my hair, which had to be picked out one piece at a time. This might be TMI, but when I took off my dress at the hotel, I found some melted on to my chest. So. Not. Sexy.

But it looks pretty

Number one getaway...

One decorated golf cart

Number two getaway...

A pontoon boat to the best man's house up river where we found (to my surprise!)...

Number three getaway...

A limo paid for by our groomsmen!

I had no idea that they did this for us! It was such a fun gesture and a great pre-party!

We bought pink champagne like in Breakfast at Tiffany's. :)

This picture cracks me up!

Yea! On to the reception!!

Craft Week Day Two: Throwing Things

Day Two of Craft week is probably the least exciting thing, but it's a craft that needs to be done and it looks so cute. It's the things that people throw at us after we're pronounced "Mr and Mrs. FI's last name."
It's actually going to be as we're boarding our decorated pontoon boat (We're getting married by a river, and our best man lives five minutes up the river and have offered their pontoon boat for our get-away vehicle and since we're finishing our photos at the park, it saves money so we don't have to rent a fancy car to drive around the block.)

Anyways, first photo of cute bubbles in our flowergirl's unfinished basket (stay tuned for that craft later this week!).

  

They are so cute! I bought the ribbon (which looks brown, but it's our beautiful raspberry/purple color) at hobby lobby, the baskets at Meijer, and the bubbles at Walmart.

  

Close-up. Two pieces in random fabrics (organza and satin) and in random color (pink and sangria). Love.

  

But you didn't think that we were just going to have bubbles, did you? No, we're going to have to have something else. So, we take tulle circles (bought again at hobby lobby) and fill them with eco-friendly confetti.

  

 This stuff is so fluffy and awesome. Love love.

  

  

  

I've done about ten little packages (see next photo) and this is all I've used. It's cheaper than bubbles and way more unique.

  

These will accompany the bubbles in the flowergirl baskets.

  

Another photo of both of the colors of programs. I love these, but like I said, they will be the death of me.

  

Another fun photo of my shoes that I am going to make into lace-up slippers because I couldn't find any plain white lace up ballet slippers under 50 bucks. These were purchased at Meijers for 12.99.
