Weddings

Here are a couple pictures from the weddings. 

Mallory and Lance's wedding was in a garden.  It was the week before Thanksgiving so they were worried how the weather would be.  It was a BEAUTIFUL day.  Like could not have been more perfect. 

The theme of their wedding was rustic.  The reception was in a barn.

This is a picture leading into the garden.  There were four trees that had candles in mason jars hanging from them.  It looked so good once the sun went down.


Some of the honory bridesmaids before the wedding (They didn't have any groomsmen or bridesmaids stand up with them during the ceremony, so there wasn't an official wedding party).  We hung this fabric outside the barn. 


The fabric was my favorite part!

The gift table and "blessing tree."  They did a blessing tree instead of a guest book.

Mal walking down the ailse.  We did her bouquet too.

These are from Autumn's wedding.  Her colors were black, purple, grey/silver, and white.  All of the bridesmaids wore different grey dresses.
The bouquets mom and I did.

The reception was at a really fun resturant right down the street from the church.  It has a ton of stuff everywhere for decoration so there wasn't a whole lot we could do there. 

The food table.

Bride/Groom's table.  He had cheesecake from Chessecake factory.


These are all of the pictures I have for now.  I took some of these off of facebook.  One of our friend's did Mallory's wedding and he did an incredible job (photography).  Here is a link to some more of their pictures he put on facebook.  The last three pics I put from Mal's wedding are his.

Where has the time gone?!?!

To say I have been busy over the past few months is a major understatment.  Seriously, this has been the busiest I have ever been.  After the first of the year, I should be able to relax a little more.

So why has it been so busy?  I'll start from the beginning.....

Back in July two of my best friends got engaged, one being my roommate Autumn.  The other my friend Mallory.  So because weddings are crazy expensive, my mom and I decided that we would help them with the wedding design/decor.  I LOVE doing this, but it is A LOT of work. 

So we began planning for a Novemeber 21 wedding and a December 18 wedding.  Not a ton of time.

Since Autumn was my roommate and we lived in her house, I didn't think it would be appropriate to keep living there after she and Michael got married :)  I'm sure they are grateful!  So I began looking/praying about what I wanted to do.  The Lord completely opened up a door/house and a new roommate (my cousin).  So we moved into a house at the beginning of October.  We lived together our freshman year of college so we knew it would work out.  If we could make it in a dorm room together, we knew we would be fine with an entire house.

I LOVE our house!  And I will be posting pictures soon.

On top of working crazy hours, moving, and wedding planning we were getting ready to start up our new church (Desperation Church), which is also a lot of work.  But it is going GREAT by the way!

This is all I have time for at the moment.  I'm working on getting pictures up of the past few months and I'm very excited to share them with y'all!  Even though I haven't been blogging, I have still been keeping up with all of you!

P.S.  This blog design needs major help too!  It's on the to-do list!
