Our June Bride

Well our lovely daughter is married!  I am

sneaking a moment or two away from 

all the family festivities to share her

bridals/groomals with you

now that everything is official.

We had the pictures taken at

La Caille Restaurant's grounds

that I have posted on before.

 You can't imagine a more beautiful

and varied setting.  It was exquisite.

There are wonderful places for

pictures both inside and outside.

She has a Paris theme for the reception

tomorrow night and so we just had to

take this photo.

They will be driving away in my convertible

so we brought that to the shoot also.

I have never seen her look so happy and so beautiful.

It was just so fun shooting them together

and as I said before we blindfolded him

so that we got a photo of his first reaction

to the dress.  This fabulous couch was

one my friend bought and then couldn't

get through her bedroom door.  I

"just had to" buy it from her.
Actually she had purchased it for 20% off

so it was a good deal.

Hubby says to tell you that if you are in the area

Thursday, June 20th, drop by at the reception,

he is sure we will have plenty of food!!

This has to be my very favorite photo.  His mother 

took this one.

Thanks for stopping by to share in our

joy!

Sneak Peak at the Bridals/Groomals

Just a quick sneak peak from our Bridals

this week, or I guess they call them Groomals

if you include the groom and we did.

When my oldest daughter got married, some

kind and wise friend suggested that we

include the groom for the pictures, 

just in case something bad happened

that could ruin the pictures

on the wedding day - weather or something....

Little did she know that 8 days before

the wedding he would get his whole face

smashed in from a boating/tubing accident

and have to have plates put in his face,

so needless to say, we are great fans

of including the groom.

I created the bouquet for the bridals

using ideas from Pinterest and Youtube

on how to wire brooches and how to secure

them with special floral glue (I used

the glue and floral holder he recommends

for fresh flowers - I will do a tutorial

when things slow down here!) 

 You just have

to love the internet for all of the wonderful

information you can find.  The brooches

can be found for practically nothing

at Fabulous Brooch. (Most of them were

$3-$6!)

One other fun thing I found on Pinterest

was a picture of the groom blindfolded

so that seeing the dress for the first

time was captured.  

We did that and

to see the look on his face was priceless!

Well, that is the only tidbit for now!

What fun to be the Mother of the Bride.

Since June is wedding month,

I will be sharing this on

Seasonal Sunday

(And since my last two posts were on

anniversaries and celebrations - just

thought I would mention that I just

flew past my 3rd Blog-a-versary! 

Wow, how did that happen?)

Just a quick PS

I just found out today that my daughter's

niece (on her husband's side) is to 

be married June 15 and her fiance was

just hit by a car walking across the street

and is in the hospital with his back broken.

They don't know what they are going

to do at this time!

I had just written that you don't know

what might happen and here it is within

the extended family!!
