Wedding Day Beginnings


 The "save the date" postcard, doily wrapped wedding invitation and peony filled bride's bouquet.

My sweet girls...Maid of Honor and Jr. Maid of Honor, sisters of the bride. Bridesmaids dresses by Amanda Rose Bridal

The program sign was a collaborative effort by my daughter Kaleigh and myself. Held by Ciera, cousin of the Bride.

The Wedding Altar. This vintage dresser once belonged to my grandmother, Courtney's Great Grandmother. I loved that she wanted to use this piece, my nightstand, as the altar for her wedding. 

The dresser is topped with vintage milk bottles (borrowed from my sister and her husband) wrapped in lace and filled with fresh flowers.

Courtney's stunning wedding necklace and the groomsmen's boutonnieres, both made by Courtney's mother-in-law, Donna.

Drew, Courtney's handsome Groom.

My beautiful daughter, the Bride.

ALL of these amazing photos were taken by Clayton Austin, a wonderfully talented photographer who was a joy to work with! Thank you Clayton!
Many more wedding photos and details to come!

    Sonya,
    What a unique and breathtaking wedding. The image of your daughter brought tears to my eyes! It tells a lovely story. I hope you will post more about this day. I'm going to go back over the last week of posts, because I have been out of commission for a week or so. I hope to see more.
    Beautiful and Congratulations to the bride and groom.
