    Grizz    December 2, 2011  

    Our winter wedding day has come and gone! I was going to wait for all my pro pics but I can't help but give a sneak peek using some guest pics. It was everything we dreamed of, and all the work was worth it. Now I'm shutting up and giving you pics Laughing

    Our First Look -

    Mr & Mrs!

    We both play guitar, so what better guestbook for us than an old one we had?

    From here it got a little crazy!

    We had s'mores and a hot drink bar with chocolate spoons, cider, wassail, coffee, mochas, whipped cream, sprinkles, you name it!

    Some shots of the decor - 90% DIY'ed.

    The place cards were attached with ribbon to antique skeleton keys asking "What is the key to marriage?" This is one of the tamer ones! Some were HILARIOUS, including an anonymous one whose handwriting looked suspiciously like our pastor's - "Don't get pregnant tonight!" ha!

    And part II:

    We slept in the next day, ate wedding cake for breakfast, and got some day-after shots at our new home with our photographer.

    Hi, my name is Grizz and I'm addicted to Starbucks.

    I wanted our exit to have a sleigh bells feel so I made these jingle bell wands - the sound of them all together was incredible! It gave it SUCH a Christmas feeling.

    You look gorgeous! I love the first look picture- My fiance and I are having an evening wedding so I was afraid we'd miss the opportunity for pictures with daylight. I'm still thinking about doing a first look picture...not sure yet but your picture is so beautiful! I also love all your DIY. It looks like the perfect day! Wish you both the best.

    The venue came with a lot of them but we pumped them up by adding more on top of the existing ones.

    @jackieee: Yes, when our photog gets the pics back to us I'll have some close-ups. My makeup artist/hairstylist is a good friend of mine so I'll ask her what she used - I know it was all MAC but can't remember the colors :)
