Wedding: Reception

Our reception turned out perfect!! At least I think so. I used to want to be a wedding planner so I enjoyed planning most aspects of the wedding. Especially the details. I loved the venue. Loved how the decorations and details turned out and loved how the colors came together. My colors were neutrals (tans, greys, taupes, golds, silvers, pearls) with a hint of pink. I got a lot of my ideas off of pinterest. I kept joking with people as I was planning that pinterest was planning my wedding. What did we ever do without it? The reception was so fun! I wish I could go back and take the night in again. I wish I had more time to visit with everyone who came to support us.

I love both of these family photos. Everyone looks so good! 

 Can you tell that girls run in both of our families? I love all my sisters!

 My bridesmaids were Scotty's youngest sisters Chrissy and Angie and my sister Stephanie.
I know. Gorgeous girls!

My flower girls were all of my nieces. Told you girls run in our family.
There are actually two more but they didn't have a nap that day and weren't having it.

Me and the missionaries.

We both have brothers on missions. Robby was home for the wedding due to a needed surgery. My brother made his cameo via cardboard cutout!
It's actually Mitt Romney with Scottie's head put on it. Turned out good, ya?

My cute parents. I just love them!

Details.

One of my favorite details of the wedding was our wishing tree. Instead of a traditional sign in book we had a wishing tree where people would leave us their "best wishes."

Another one of my favorite details was the kids table. I loved how it turned out. We got a table their height and had coloring books, bubbles and bride and groom barbies for them to play with. I made pinwheels for the table centerpieces. Adrienne made that mobile above the kids table

 

We had Magleby's cater our reception. The food was amazing!

Our cake.

 About to cut the cake.

Our reception was a whirlwind to say the least. 

But I loved every part of it! 

Pinterest Recreation: DIY Sunburst Mirror

Lookie what I made!!!

Pretty sure Pinterest has changed my life. Seriously how did I ever live without it?

Not only have my meals improved, but my wardrobe has more variation because of ideas ... and not to mention all the projects I want to make. I have been dying to have a sunburst mirror in my house! Since I can't afford the $200+ price tag, I decided to give this one a whirl.

I got the idea from Third Floor Design Studio via Pinterest so in no way am I taking any credit for the creative juices behind this beauty. Wish I could.

The mirror was a labor of love, just time consuming but not hard.
I am obsessed with the end product though.
The best part? It came to whopping $25.

I don't know Kimberly Moore at all, but you should go over to her blog. She has such great ideas.

Thank you Pinterest for improving my quality of life!
