AW: Married

reddy123

Hi everyone,

I got married on Sunday the 8th, and my day was awesome with very little to complain about. It was the most perfect weather possible, which was a relief because my ceremony was outside. 

I DIY'ed every little thing for my wedding except the cake and the flowers. I am most proud of my 'ribbon curtain' I got married under, and the 25 hand-painted table numbers, all native Oregon plants. Also, can't forget the escort cards with the little plant, name and number on each one (yes, I know, I'm crazy). Oh and the favors/placecards were little succulents with each persons name on it. We have a huge family, so all of this was quite an undertaking. Any bride on here complaining about doing something DIY for a 40-60 person wedding gets an eyeroll from me, try 250!

(link deleted, if you want it, just PM me)

Any questions about the day are welcome.

Wow your wedding looked amazing. You went all out with the DIY projects! I love the cake, I've never seen one like that before. And wherever you got married was gorgeous.

Oh, wow, Reddy. You did an amazing job. Everything looks so organic and beautiful! I love your shoes too! I'm not a heels girl myself

Thanks for sharing your wedding porn!

Your reception details are so cool!  Very original.

Thanks everyone, I am blushing!

Married: I am a heel-type girl, but had a bad break in my left foot in February which is still healing. I am so glad I didn't have to compromise with the orthopedic shoes the doc wanted me to wear! I loved those thongs, and they showed off my henna

Oh, no! That sounds terribly painful! I loved them. I think they went with the dress well.

</div><div>I have to give my mom credit on this one, she planted about 1/3rd -1/2 of what we needed about 6-8 months ago in her garden.
