Hitched: Behind the Scenes

On the morning of my wedding, all of the girls met in my suite to spend the day together getting ready, relaxing, and sipping on champagne. Here are some pictures from the preparations behind the scenes!

my dress, garter, and flower...love, love, love.

Lynette, from The Bloom Room, kept the details of my bouquet a huge secret until my big day. When she surprised me with my flowers, I was literally speechless. I could not have been more excited and happy with my beautiful bouquet - full of pink hydrangeas, peonies, ranunculas, tulips, lahms ear, and more!
I really wanted to do something sweet for my parents, so I wrote them letters and had custom hankies made for each of them. They absolutely LOVED {and used} them.
The boys got ready down the hall...

Remember the burlap boutonnieres I handmade?...the guys loved them!
Dr. Alan shining Matt's shoes...so typical of these two...

 All ready to get MARRIED!..

Hitched: Rehearsal Dinner

Our rehearsal dinner was such an amazing night. My MIL took care of every single detail, so most of it was a surprise to me. The entire evening went off without a hitch. It was beautiful, delicious, and certainly a night we will never forget!

New family!

Matt is obsessed with golf. He is also obsessed with the movie, Caddyshack. So, when it came time to order his groomsmen’s cake, Mrs. M had a very particular vision. Not only did she purchase an “official” Cadyshack gopher from the Murray Brother’s website, she also had custom golf balls made with the Caddyshack country club’s logo printed on them – one for each groomsman to keep after the cake was cut. Needless to say, the cake was a huge hit!

I could not have imagined a better way to kick off my wedding weekend than with a celebration with all my favorite girls! What a memorable day filled with lots of laughs, yummy food, pretty polish, and of course some bubbly!


We started off the afternoon with a delicious luncheon at one of my favorite restaurants, Pewter Rose Bistro.

Delicious cupcakes from Polka Dot Bake Shop
Homemade Burlap + Lace Hair Appliques
Cute Place Cards

And the best part...my besties!

After lunch we headed to Polished Nail Bar for manicures and champagne!
