Something Borrowed, Something red?

To start off this post, i have to give fair warning... it is filled with photos. I received my wedding photos from Shuttergirl yesterday and wanted to share them with everyone. Photo credit also to Bryttan Kramer for the photos of the luncheon. They both did a FFFFabulous job. Lets start at the Very beginning.....

We got married at the GreyStone Manor in Lava Hot Springs, ID. this was our entrance.

     The Lobby. Photos of our grandparents and parents.

Backdrop. Designed my my mom and I. Made by my mom and dad. I love the huge hinges.

                       Bryndon looking handsome as ever. In the grooms room waiting for the ceremony.

In the brides room getting ready.

I Designed my dress, Bryndon sketched it out, and my aunt Kathy made it for me. She is incredibly talented.

My Aunt Kathy the dress making extrordinare is on the right.

Coley girl in her Flower girl attire. In the beginning they were a plain pink dress with a white satin belt. My mom made the adorable belts out of the same fabric we made the backdrop for the ceremony. I changed out the bad ribbon on the hats for a seafoam grosgrain ribbon as well as the baskets, added all the buttons on the gloves, bascket and dresss to match the buttons down mine. oh... and made about a billion little roses. didnt love making them but looove the way they looked on the little dresses.

Just before the flower girls walked down the aisle. This is My dad and my niece Coley exchanging stalk market tips... im sure of it.

The Groom

Bryndons parents

The Best man Taiger OR as we call him, the BEST best man (Bryndons nephew) and Alicia Olsen.. my "other" sister and bridesmaid.

Natalie adams the maid of horor and my sister and her son eric... a handsome groomsman.

Jeffrey My nephew and ringbearer

Coley girl.

Emily Rose

My dad and I.

Eric was bored pretty fast and decided it appropriate to take a sit down during the ceremony. Taiger boy on the right side  had the ring in his vest and decided to play a little trick on Bryndon when we exchanged rings... Bryndon asked for the ring and Taiger handed him the empty box... with a straight face. when Bryndon noticed there was no ring... Taiger started laughing and reached in his pocket to pull out the ring. he pulled the joke off like a champ.

Honeymoonin'

So maybe we vacation like retirees, and maybe no one understood why in the world we choose New England for our honeymoon but WE LOVED IT! we put well over 1,500 miles on our rental and saw 7 states. Saw some history, Ate LOADS of seafood, did alot of driving and lot of sight seeing.

I find myself planning a wedding. I have been looking at photos of other wedding, both current and vintage. Some I think will stand timeless... and others aren't going to be so fortunate. I hope mine stands up to time. I have been saving some of my favorite photos I have found. 

 love this photo

love the coloring in this and that they both could pass as 14

 I should have bid on this on Ebay when I got the chance.

This atmosphere is very romantic. (greenweddingshoes.com)

This dress is so perfect. I love the Icy blue overlay and the gloves.

I think its safe to say... Time wont be so kind to these gems.

I have my wedding attire pretty well picked for the the man and I, now all I have to do is narrow down flowers... you would think coming from a florist family that would be the easiest decision... its not. I have 7 more months to decide. Any photographer recommendations?? 

Have a teaser of what I have thus far for my deliciously wonderful (heres hoping) my wedding will be:
