My Goal Is To Inspire Others

1

Hello!

My original goal this year was to blog more & be creative & you know, be a good influence in the world of Sparkles & Crafts....so far I've failed miserably at sharing my stories in this beautiful year. I'M SORRY! I take full responsibility of my terrible blog etiquette.

HOWEVER: I am here to share.....Our wedding photos. I have pinned 26 of my very favorite Pinterest-y photos & my goal is to inspire others. 

Our wedding was the most beautiful day of my life & our incredible photographer captured absolutely every moment exactly the way I remember. I enjoyed planning our wedding so much I hope to inspire others who are looking for an elegant & romantic wedding through the photography I have posted.

I designed all of the paper materials & had my hand in just about every piece of the wedding I could. I didn't want the wedding to appear "crafty" and "DIY" as much as I just wanted it to be beautiful. I'll post some of my "proudest moments" below :) Please enjoy & share every bit you feel is worthy!!!

Hair piece by Charming Charlie - $14.95

I trusted Rich at Sylvia's to create the perfect bouquets.
He did that and beyond! I am outrageously biased,
but in my opinion it was the most perfect
bridal bouquet in the world :) Ivory Vendela Roses

These were one of my favorite parts of
the day. Bridesmaid bouquets
with VooDoo Roses & Freesia

Table numbers inspired by our invitations:
the paisley illustration was on
our invites. Centerpieces used
6 ivory roses (provided by our
amazing venue –
  Makray Memorial Golf Club)
& 6 stems of buttercream "stock".
Vases were from Dollar Tree
& ribbons from Hobby Lobby were
taped & tied for a pretty little knot.

This was one of my favorite finds: Bill & I
went to an estate sale a few weeks
before the wedding & found these
little gems for $2.50 so we HAD to use
them as our cake topper.
They're salt & pepper shakers.
