#WeddingWednesday Ashley & Matt 8-8-15

Ashley and Matt got married on 8-8-15 and here is what she had to say about her big day!

“When I woke up that morning it was raining, and right away (even though it's good luck to have rain on your wedding day) I was worried. Both our ceremony and reception were supposed to be outside, in Matt’s dad's back yard.  I ran a few last minute errands, and grabbed a coffee for the long day ahead of me. By the time my girls and I got to our hair appointment the rain subsided, and the rest of the day had a cloudy overcast. Which was perfect because it kept the sun at bay.

 After all my bridesmaids, mom, and I got our hair and make-up done we were off to the house to get ready! Before I knew it, it was time to walk down the aisle to say my vows.

My dad passed away, so my brother walked me down the aisle in place of him. One piece of advice I was given was to take my time while walking down the aisle and look at all the faces of my family and friends, because the day goes by so fast.

I met my soon-to-be  husband (he was so handsome) at the altar and immediately had a big ol smile on my face. Our ceremony was beautiful, but yet short and sweet, even my tough guy had tears in his eyes (aww).

 After our ceremony, we took pictures and were ready to celebrate our nuptials.

Our reception was amazing! We had worked so hard the months leading up, and everything looked magical. We visited with all of our guests, ate our dinner, and enjoyed the rest of the night with our loved ones. We even had some neighbor boys come over and try to crash our wedding.

 One of my most cherished memories of the night was when my brother gave a speech, and in honor of my dad did the father-daughter dance with me.

It was so nice to remember him on my special day, and it was the finishing touch to our dream wedding.”

REAL TALK. How to be A Good Bridesmaid

We all know that being a bridesmaid is a blessing AND a curse. Buying a dress that 1. you don’t like and 2. UGH that price tag though! We all know that sometimes being asked to be in a wedding is extremely frustrating. However, when your best friend asks you to be in her wedding it’s hard to not feel honored! She loves you and wants you by her side for the most important day of her life. Please be seated class! Remember that she might be stressed out, and don’t take it personal. She may be stressed because everyone is in her ear telling her what she should do. Ask her if she needs help and most likely she will need it, but might not want to ask. You may not care about all the details, but she does! A good friend will shut up about her wanting paper flowers instead of real ones and help her make “said” paper flowers. She will change her mind at least a dozen times. I am SOOO guilty of this. In this day and age with pinterest, instagram, wedding blogs, and facebook i...

12 Things Brides Forget Before Their Wedding Day

BRING EXTRA SHOES! Those gorgeous heels you bought? Yeah, by the time the reception rolls around your feet will be killing you! Bring an extra pair of flats so you can keep dancing and socializing the night away. You’ll thank me later. Decide what to do with the gifts. This is often forgotten during the wedding planning process, but still pretty important thing to remember! Make sure you assign someone to pack up the gifts and tell them where to take them. Especially if you are leaving on your honeymoon that night! You don’t want to decide what to do with them after you have had a few glasses of champagne. ;) Assign someone responsible to take care of the marriage license! Your officiant will take two copies and one is your souvenir. (Yes, you will sign three of them.) Make sure you don’t ask your cousin who has had 4 possibly 6 drinks that night already. A pretty hanger for your wedding dress. Since your dress will be photographed you want to make s...
