My Sister's Garden Wedding

My sister, Melanie married her sweetheart in Savannah on May 15th. We were blessed and excited to be a part of the intimate ceremony at the Forsyth Inn Bed and Breakfast. It was a perfect, beautiful day! Here are the kids before the ceremony. My two neices and Makenna were the flower girls and Bryce and Brayden were the ringbearers. (sorry these pics are small. I had to get them off of facebook).

This is Bailey and Alyssa before the ceremony. Such a cute picture!

We were running late as usual, so this is our race into the wedding...

My little man looked so handsome in his tux! Bryce wore this same tux at his age.

My boys on their best behavior!

My dad and the beautiful bride entering the courtyard.
They each wrote their own vows. It was so touching to hear how hey felt about each other. Lots of tears during that part!The Mr. and Mrs.

The whole gang after the wedding...even the dogs were a part and dressed up for the occasion.

We ate at the Pink House for the rehearsal dinner. The atmosphere was so cool in a house built in the 1700's, the food was yummy and the company was fun and relaxed. Brayden was not fond of this dinner, and we spent lots of time walking the streets of Savannah checking out the horses, etc...

The happy couple at dinner.

Here is my mom and Brayden at a small champagne and cake reception after the wedding. My mom was beautiful in her purple dress!

The boys take a walk to prepare for some more pictures. My hubby looked so handsome in his suit!

Melanie looked stunning in her dress and very happy! The park setting was great for pictures too!

The kids with the bride minus Brayden. He had enough by this point.

A stroller train. Brayden was getting out of the park at all costs! No more pictures...

We had dinner afterwards at the River House. Everything turned out just perfect!

I made the centerpieces for the table with river rocks, reindeer moss, water, and hydrangea blooms. Congrats to Melanie and Tyler! May God bless your marriage now and for years to come!

Wedding Gift Idea

Tis the season for weddings and as you know, my sister just got married this month. I put this gift together for her. It is kind of a "summer porch" themed gift. I found this adorable antique rocker in great condition and gave it to her along with a galvanized drink tub from Lowes. I just stenciled their initial on it. I then added some impatiens, some drink mixes, and a few magazines and kitchen towels from Ikea.

A gift that they can enjoy all summer out on their screened porch. More wedding pics to come...

Girl's Trip to Savannah

My mom and my sisters and I went to Savannah for the weekend to help my sister, Melanie, finish some last details for her May wedding. Here she is in front of the cottage where the newlyweds will be staying. Isn't she beautiful, by the way? (inside and out). She is going to make a stunning bride!

This is the park across the street. The Spanish Moss hanging from the trees just makes this place breathtaking! It was so relaxing here! Having no kids with me helped too!

Here is the Bed and Breakfast where the wedding will take place and the family will stay. What a quaint place! Savannah is full of so much history!

Here is the 4 of us in front of the river on a cold and windy night! This was after a yummy, fun, dinner.

Of course, we had to do some shopping and this was my favorite store! It was called the Paris Market. They had some of the most unique stuff I have ever seen. I could not afford any of it though even in the clearance section. It was so fun to look though!

A cool old dry sink (love the color) with some lovely lavender.

I wanted some of these numbered baskets for my bathroom!

The downstairs cellar was amazing with old, old brick floors and walls.

Can't wait until we get to go back for the wedding!
