Hey! I've been a member for a while, but I never got around to posting photos after my September 20th wedding. I think I spent about $10,000 on it. Hope you enjoy! All photos are copyright Michael J. Wise Photography.

How lovely! I loved your color combo....very modern.

I love your hair!! And the color scheme, trolley, sand art, and the bottle-vases on the reception tables. Beautiful wedding. Congratulations! :)

And your shoes.

[heatherns]

haha, thanks! I have a friend who is a hairstylist, and she and her friend came and did the whole wedding party's hair and makeup in our hotel room that morning. I really loved my junior bridesmaids' hair, too.

My shoes were on clearance from newportnews.com--if you're still looking for shoes for your wedding, they actually have a lot of really lovely, reasonably-priced options. But I bought my shoes a whole year ago and they're still mailing me catalogs, so I guess it's a trade-off!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I just love the shade of blue you chose, it's so pretty!!!

Love the way the brown looks with the blue, that's incredible. I'm amazed at how well they go together. I love the tulle peeking out from the BM skirts, cute!

I love your guest book, how does it work? I love all the decorative papers! How'd you make the envelopes?

[heatherns]

I actually used a florist envelope as a template--I dismantled it, then traced it, then used Zots to glue the new ones together. They were held into the guest book with a normal glue stick. People wrote on the cards that are in a little stack above the book, then they tucked them into the envelopes. I lucked out, because one of my brothers actually worked in a paper factory at the time, but it was closing down, so the staff was allowed to take all the paper they wanted. I literally have a case of packages of different card stock and scrapbooking paper in my basement!

I know, the brown was actually a late addition. Over the course of my two-year engagement, it was originally just the blue and white (I knew I wanted blue, because I am a blue-stone bride), until about a year before the wedding. I added the brown because I needed a little more wiggle room when choosing wedding elements. I actually ended up loving that combo way more!

Also, I -FRICKING LOVE- the red and white polkadot dress you were wearing while getting your makeup done. Do you have a picture of you in that dress?

Your BM dresses are so cute. Who are they by?

[heatherns]

That's actually my bathing suit top! I had it on because it was easy for me to get out of without disturbing my hair and makeup.

I loved my bridesmaid dresses, too, and they were quite reasonably-priced at something like $190 after taxes. They are Alfred Angelo 7014.

That's smart!!! I should think about what I'm gonna wear before getting into the dress...

Ooh, nice! Although I'm assuming that's in USD...(not bad, means they're just shy of $200 CAD) I must go look..

Sooo...I just lurked your journal for a second, and I want to warn you that my florist said he wouldn't be able to get me dahlias by my wedding--he said they're mostly done by then, and I got married in late September.

I don't really believe him, because I was still seeing them at the farmer's market into October, and I had to argue with him about a ton of stupid things, but...just in case, I will let you know that the white flowers in my bouquet were ranunculus, and they have sort of a similar whimsical style (but softer and less dramatic, unfortunately).

LOVE the trolley! and the cake!

[heatherns]

My baker was an absolute dream to work with, and the cake was DELICIOUS. We had that tier cake and an additional full sheet cake, and all of it--plus the delivery fee--was only $300 or so.
