I know, I’ve been a bad, bad blogger. I didn’t believe people when they said I would be so over wedding stuff once it was all said and done, but it’s funny how quickly and easily I got over the whole planning thing. It helped that I had quite a few major life transitions I was putting off until after the wedding, and I tackled those projects head on as soon as we returned from our honeymoon. Anyway, enough procrasti-tater excuses. Onto the photos!

[D.I.Y. Signs]
- 1/4″ thick masonite + scrap lumber signs cut + assembled
for me by a carpenter friend.
- I printed the text on my inkjet, cut it out, and rubber cemented
it on [for easy removal afterward].
- Simple, metal pails from ikea were filled with river rock as a “stand”
for the signs.

[Card Box]
An awesome friend made this for me. I think it was pretty
simple as her only tools were a tall-ish cylindrical box I
found on clearance at a craft store, some scrap fabric she had, leftover ribbon,
and a glue gun. Sorry, I don’t have any further specific instructions.
[Personal Flowers]
Bouquets
Left: Bridesmaid’s bouquet of dahlias, roses, + hypericum
berries.
Right: Bride’s bouquet of dahlias.
The lockets I found on Etsy to attach
to my bouquet. I put in photos to remember my dad, my maternal grandfather, and the bear’s paternal grandmother (the other grandparents are still living, fortunately, or were never a part of our lives, unfortunately).
The groomsmen’s boutonnières consisting of a single, red tulip.
The groom’s boutonnière of one dahlia + green stuff (yes, it’s a technical term 
).
[Ceremony Decor]
Aisle: Lined with rows of red river rock and red
rose petals.

Altar Arrangements: Manzanita trees painted white with carnation
+ dahlia pomanders woven between the branches.
[Cocktail Hour]
My coordinator figured out these arrangements for
our bar-height tables using the candles, holders, and river
rock I pretty much threw at her with no direction whatsoever. She did an awesome job!

[Reception]
The ceremony altar arrangements and bouquets doubled
as decor for our sweetheart table.

That’s right folks! All carnation centerpieces. In Ikea bowls,
no less.
