Wedding Day: Reception

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

Today I am sharing our pretty decor and delicious dessert bar from our wedding reception!

My lovely friends, Justin and Laurie helped me get the reception set up. They did a phenomenal job!

Justin and I made this faux fireplace out of cardboard boxes. We borrowed the chairs from our friend, Char.

For seating we made hay bale sofas and used pallets as coffee tables.

Both borrowed from our uncle's farm. We dressed up the bales with inexpensive fabric and thrifted table clothes. Burlap-wrapped mason jars with mixed flowers and candles were placed on top of the pallets. 

We had a dessert reception, since our wedding was held in the evening at 7 pm.

Our aunts and friends made all of the delicious treats!

My boss at work made our airplane cookie favors as a wedding gift.

Super cute and tasty!

Another one of our friends made us an awesome cheesecake as our wedding cake!

It was a relaxing evening and all that we could have hoped for!

Pictures of my handmade reception dress coming soon!

Love, Katie

Good morning! 

I am already up and busy baking Apple Cider Donuts for this weekend!

In a heart-shaped pan of course, while listening to our wedding soundtrack. 

Therefore, time for more wedding pictures!

Wedding details.

Very important stuff here.

Skipping the traditional expenses of having a florist make your bouquets and decorations, I decided to make my own bouquet with fake flowers. No worries of wilting or missing petals. 

Less worries is most ideal.

I used white peonies with small pink roses. I finished my bouquet off with twine and suede ribbon.

Of course they ladies had to be a part of our wedding day. 

These are our two best girls, Carmella + Ronda.

The groomsmen were accessorized with twine and baby's breath. 

We borrowed globes and mason jars for our ceremony and reception. 

Our guest book was found at a yard sale brand new! 

We covered it with burlap to make it more fitting. 

We placed candles in the mason jars to add some whimsy to the aisle and coffee tables at the reception. 

The candles we got for free from another wedding before ours that had a lot left over.

For our programs I designed a boarding pass that had their assigned seating on the top portion. 

We gave each row of seats a letter for our guests to board our ceremony.

This allowed families to be seated together and near familiar faces, and prevented having empty spaces.

For coffee table decorations we arranged mixed flowers in mason jars and wrapped burlap around the base.

More wedding photos to come! 

Have a wonderful weekend!
