We had a Catholic mass and it was beautiful! It was about an hour and we packed it full of music. Here are a few (ok many) pictures from the ceremony…

nice shot of the back of the bridesmaids! love that dress!
and you looked so radiant and glowing! congrats!
Your dress is beautiful! Are the pew flowers gladiolus? How far apart are they spaced? You don’t have to say exactly but was it expensive to do? I was thinking of having the same as my pew decorations but it is something I will scrap if it gets too costly.
Where’s the kiss! Where’s the kiss?!? You look awesome!
BaghdadBride - those are gladiolus
Mrs. Raspberry, your dress was gorgeous! Did you purchase it in DC or at home in NY?
Do you have any recommendations for affordable bridal salons in the DC area? I have heard fabulous things about Hitched and I am so tempted to go since I live right down the street from it, but it is a bit out of my price range — I’ve definitely used up quite a bit of my dress money towards other aspects of the wedding. If you have any recommendations for anywhere in the area with lower price dresses, I would really appreciate it!
i love your dress too! who is the designer?
you look SO incredibly happy! what great pictures!
What music did you play and where? I want a lot of songs too!
that is a beautiful church! your pictures look awesome.
You have the best smile! What great memories to have!
Beautiful pictures Mrs. Raspberry! I especially love the bridesmaids’ dresses! What a lovely color! Who makes them?
Like everyone else already said — that dress is amazing!! and you look so beautiful!! Congrats!
You look so happy - you’re just radiating! I can feel it through my computer screen AND through your pictures. With all that happiness making it through digital barriers, I can’t imagine how happy you must have been in real life! Congratulations!
sarah what great job you and your family did i ‘m the luckest dad around .now i can sy love you both dad xoxoxo
Thank you all for your kind comments!
We truly had the happiest day of our lives thus far.
To answer your questions:
The pew flowers are gladiolus. We spaced them every couple of pews since the church is huge. It was not that expensive to do because they are in season in July. We bought the flowers and my sister and friend put them together
My dress is Cymbeline Paris and I got it here in DC. I would HIGHLY recommend checking out Hitched in Georgetown - Carin and Julia are incredible - tell them Sarah Meyer sent you 
They helped out in resolving our bridesmaid dress issue - we bought the Maid-of-Honor’s dress off the rack from Hitched
We played a ton of music during the ceremony… I plan on writing a post about all the music
The bridesmaid’s dresses were made in Thailand. We have a friend who lives there and she coordinated them being made. The woman who did our dresses makes dresses for the Queen of Thailand and is incredible. I was extremely pleased with the dresses!
and Dad- thanks for the comments
stunning photos - everyone’s happiness does definitely show!
