1920s Wedding

Farmer Joel's family put on another beautiful and creative wedding. Paper lanterns hung from strings of white lights above and glorious garden flowers surrounded us. Every detail was perfect from beverages served in Mason jars out of an old bathtub to a silver fringed flapper (Joel's little sister) singing into an old time microphone. It felt like we had traveled back in a time machine.

Dancing lessons from a very cool Uncle (drum lessons were also included)!Amazing food from the Co op Instead of a wedding cake, the happy couples' friends made pies!
Here we are in our 1920s costumes. It was so much fun to dress up!

Just a Few More Pictures

I just got these and I couldn't resist sharing them!

Glamour Girl Wedding!

What a blessing it was to see Anna so happily married to such a great guy. They are so in love! My favorite part of the whole evening was at the reception when Anna sang a beautiful love song to Matt. She has a fantastic voice.

It was such a fun day and every detail of the wedding was perfect (well, other than my nearly disastrous oompa loompa-like makeup--thank God for the ladies at the Nordstrom counter who "toned it down a bit").

This was my first experience with a theme wedding and it was a blast! The idea was "1940's pinup girl" with vintage jewelry and retro hairstyles. I looked so different than usual that my own son didn't recognize me at first. I scared him a little! When he finally figured out it was me he reached up and patted my face saying, "Mama, you take that stuff off your face now?".

Our "look" reminded me of pictures of my sweet and stylish grandma from the 1940s and 50s. All of her outfits coordinated perfectly down to the shoes and jewelry and she was one of those lucky ladies who never had a hair out of place! I miss her so much.

This was the experience of a lifetime for Noelle! She was so excited to be a flower girl

and she did such a fantastic job being brave in front of all those people!

Look at my sweet little man! He looked very dapper in his suit.
