Winter Wedding

This past weekend I attended an absolutely beautiful wedding of two very good friends.  Winter weddings can be so much fun and this wedding was a very fun excuse to see some friends I hadn’t seen in awhile.  The couple got married at Reed Chapel at Samford University. Unfortunately, I ran out the door in such a hurry to make it to the ceremony on time that I forgot my camera! I’ll try to do my best with a recap of their special day without pictures but I know this recap will not do it justice. The bride had wanted a fun wedding filled with delicious food, good friends and a fun band. Her wedding was exactly that! The wedding colors were navy and white – which worked perfectly for a winter wedding. The bridesmaid dresses were long, navy blue dresses and they were stunning – all of the bridesmaids kept talking about how comfy the dresses were too! (always an added bonus) My hands-down favorite part of their wedding was seeing how happy they both were. I know that sounds so very cliche, but it’s true.  I loved seeing the pure joy on both of their faces. The groom was all smiles and the bride even teared up reciting their vows. Anyone who has ever met this couple even for a brief second can tell how head over heels in love they both are.

The reception was at Work Play and Imperial catering did all of the food. There was everything from a sushi bar to mini sliders to delicious dips and more. Walking in to the reception, there was a slideshow of the couple, and a table filled with personalized hershey kisses, personalized golf tees (the groom is obviously a golfer!) and of course navy and white personalized koozies. Koozies have become pretty standard at weddings and I simply love them. I have a big bowl of koozies at home from various weddings and I love remembering someones special day when I see their wedding koozie. From the couple’s new monogram on the wall, to the simply spectacular bride & groom’s cakes, this wedding was so much fun and I loved being a part of the happy couple’s special day!

Most everyone who reads this blog, knows that I adore black and white.  How cute are these bridesmaid dresses? Now here’s a dress that I’d wear again.  (and no need to cut it short!)

In other fun news, one of my all-time favorite gals got engaged on Friday night. I am beyond excited for her and her absolutely awesome fiancee. Congrats, N!
