I think I want to be a wedding consultant...


With life settling down a bit after the wedding, honeymoon and holiday travel, I thought I would share the amazing items my wonderful mother and her friends made for my wedding. I had a little photo shoot in my dining room and on the last day of our wedding celebration when the light was too good to pass up. So here goes...

Let's start with the icing of the day... my bouquet, dress (my something new) and Tom's suit!

My Bouquet!!


Toss Bouquet!


Bridesmaids Bouquets!





Mother's Wristlet Corsages!


Boutonniere!



Garters!


(my something blue)


The beautiful streamers that accented my ceremony and reception!

Signs!




DIY Cake Stands (made from vintage plates, candle sticks and sundae dish)


Place Setting! (Placemats were Ohio, New Jersey and Florida from a vintage atlas)


Vintage Playing Cards (used as table numbers) and Our Rings!

Lastly... Scrabble Name Plate with my grandmother's necklace (my something old)!


With our creative minds together, my mom and I came up with the most perfect ideas to accent my wedding. Between my mom and her friends, they made the ideas come to life and made them more beautiful than I could have pictured.

We would love to personalize your wedding or special occasion with just about any one-of-a-kind piece you can imagine!! Feel free to message me if you would like to discuss in more detail!

See you in the next post!! Thanks for visiting lilyfay!

My first shot at photography...

Well here goes... my fiance and I got ourselves a fancy camera (Canon T2i) as a wedding gift to each other and I have been obsessed since we got it! This leads me to my first shot as a photographer... My friends Jenny and Matt recently got engaged so I offered to do some shots for their save-the-date card. Prior to their shoot I got to be a part of one of my bridesmaids engagement shoots in Central Park. The photographer gave me some fantastic tips for my shoot which ended up being super helpful! I have a lot to learn but I think I might have something here... I had a fabulous time with Jenny and Matt. Hope you like the pics!









On to the next photo shoot! Thanks for visiting lilyfay :)
