Just for Jess

Despite being an "old washed up" college athlete, I still haven't lost my sense of "team."

A former teammate of mine recently got engaged and (from her pics), she is planning a wedding that is sure to be as beautiful as she is!

This post is inspired by, and dedicated to Jess,
and the passion she lives with, on and off the volleyball court.



Think outside of the aisle

If you are a bride, you probably have figured out

that for every one decision you make,

it opens up another (what seems to be) another 100 decisions!

With decisions being discussed in my own life (i.e. job, going back to school, promotion),

I decided to blog about one little decision that you may not have thought about;

How seating can be arranged.

Let's get creative and think outside of the aisle.

This first one is my favorite.

Imagine walking down spiral aisle towards the love of your life.

Outdoor Vintage Beauty

If I had an outdoor wedding,

I hope it would look something like this photo shoot from:

Maybe my hubby and I should just get married all the time so I can just keep bringing my ideas to life!

What are your thoughts on short wedding dresses?

Details of the Ceremony

Whether you have your ceremony at a church, or at the reception site, make sure to include details such as a "thank you for coming" for your guests, adequate seating, and elements of you as a couple that share the story of your love...

Thank You For Coming...

Photo Slideshow on the big screens as people were seated, along with some of our favorite love songs playing...

A girlfriend made our ring bearer pillow, flower girl basket, and we had an old family bible that had been passed down for many generations...

What is the ambiance you want to set for your ceremony? Lighting plays a big part!

Communion and a Unity Candle...aspects of our faith that we felt were very important. We also included a pastor from Chris' former church who has had a significant impact on our lives to be a part of that aspect of the service.

The Communion cup was from my great grandmother...don't be shy to use things with meaning...

Your decor can be anywhere from simple to extravagant...

And regardless of what happens (our little flowergirl got scared to walk down the aisle after seeing hundreds of people and my maid of honor had to come to the rescue), at the end of the day, you will be married!
