AW: Married
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.

Thanks for sharing your wedding porn!
Your reception details are so cool! Very original.
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
[QUOTE]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.

Tell me about your succulents, were they a PITA to pot?
