Wedding Party and Flowers!

Greetings from Atlanta!  Lisa and I are having a great time on our road trip.  We're headed to Nashville in a few hours for the conclusion of our trip, and then it's back home on Sunday.  Don't worry, I have taken lots and lots of photos for you!  Someday, I will organize them all and hopefully next week will have some fun road trip photos and stories for you.  To sum up our week so far, Charleston was lovely, I want to move to Savannah, and we had some killer chicken and waffles in Atlanta!

In the meantime, I was scrolling through my Reader this morning when I saw that today is

 Show Us Your Life Day to show off my wedding party and wedding flowers!!!  So exciting.  I had my four beautiful bridesmaids pick out their own J. Crew bridesmaid dresses in chocolate or espresso brown.  Our groomsmen wore black or charcoal suits, and Matt purchased them all a matching burnt orange striped tie.  I thought that they looked absolutely lovely.  

And here are the youngest members of our wedding party!  I made the flower girl basket with silk flowers from Hobby Lobby.  I had the florist do her little floral wreath, which I am totally in love with.  So cute!

As for flowers, I had a really difficult time picking those out.  So, so hard.  And at the end, I really didn't have any idea what they were going to look like - but I was so pleased!  My bouquet was lovely, filled with cymbidium orchids (I have no idea how to actually spell that) and, you know, some other stuff too.  Matt's boutonniere was a big cymbidium orchid - so pretty.  The bridesmaids and groomsmen had cream colored flowers.  Here are some shots of my bouquet - I had my florist add my grandfather's tie pin to the top of my bouquet, and it looked so great.  He also added a necklace of my grandmother's to the stem of the bouquet.  

The flowers at the reception were also gorgeous!  I wanted a different vibe for the reception - happy and sunny, full of sunflowers.  Once again, I wasn't really sure how it would all come together, but I couldn't be happier.
