Wedding pictures!

They're all here!  Well, not in this post.  I'll just show you my favorites, but I will also show you the entire albums I posted on Facebook, if you like. There's an album for Getting Ready & Wedding Party Portraits and one for Ceremony & Reception Pictures.

I'll be talking about some of the specifics of the wedding throughout the week.  I hope you like the pictures and stories!

The lovely photos are by my good friend Sarah at Sarah Becker Photography.  I can't wait to get them printed and displayed in our home!

The venue: The Historic Train Depot in Downtown Newnan, GA

The dress came from The Bridal Exchange in Woodstock, GA.

Our perfect rings, all purchased at AmericasMart in Atlanta for killer deals

We got ready at my house.  I had friends do my hair and makeup for me, which was such a luxurious experience.

The photos in and around this amazing house were taken at the McRitchie-Hollis Museum in Downtown Newnan, GA

My friend Devon Spacek designed our stationary suite, and now it's available at her Etsy shop here.

We rented tables and chairs form Atlanta Rental and got the tablecloths and plateware and serving things from Smarty Had a Party.

The idea for the tablescape came from A Practical Wedding.  The candles came from Quick Candles and Hobby Lobby.  All of the flowers used in the decor and the bouquets came from Fifty Flowers.  The vines came from my yard.

The "Just Married" banner was made with the A Printable Press template.  The wood slices were cut by my dad from a tree from our yard.

These are some of my favorite pictures from the wedding.
I bought the sheer curtains and rods from Big Lots for very little money.

It's hard to tell from the pictures, but I could not keep a straight face during the ceremony.  I was cutting up and making faces and smiling the whole time.  My dad shushed me so I would pay attention.  Ha!  I was shushed at my own wedding!  I really enjoyed it, though, how I was able to be present and to absorb and take it all in.  I was worried I would be too jittery or that the wedding would feel surreal, but it didn't.  I loved it.

I'd totally forgotten that the kiss was coming during the ceremony, but we were able to make up for my surprise.

Again at the McRitchie-Hollis Museum in Downtown Newnan.

We had popcorn from Snappy Popcorn during the cocktail hour for the guests to much on while they played games and mingled.  Caleb and I just got a bite in between pictures.

My father designed and built the "Structure of Love," as the DJ called it.  It supported our lights and gave us a fabulous dance floor on the grass.

We used Ecofetti for the send-off, and it worked great.  It was everywhere in our car, and I wish I had bought more of it for the guests, but it all seemed to go well.
