Things remained on the calmer side, at least to our knowledge, while it was still light out. How I love long, warm summer nights, and we had a wonderful one for the reception.

That’s me, tripping on the stairs and my dress during our grand entrance. We did eventually make it to the table in one piece.

No idea how Michael Norwood got this lovely shot, short of climbing the house on the estate or making a ladder appear out of thin air.
I previously wrote a blurb on our first dance. Here is just one photo since I’ve already posted a ton.

[Toast + Tables]

Although we did mingle with our guests during cocktail hour, we are really glad we did table visits + had pro photos taken at each table [even if some guests were missed due to being ~~at the bar~~ being who-knows-where.]

[Cake Cutting]

No smashing here. We love food too much to put it anywhere but in our mouths.

So sweet, that cake! Oh, the kiss, too.

I’d just like to say THANK YOU SOO much for posting this. I’ve obviously seen your other post and had previously saved the Target link to your Glacier Aqua Ties! I went a few months back to order them but Target was out! I was SO bummed because it’s seriously the hardest color to find. So because of your post I went to check just one more time and they have them IN again! I bought 4 immediately! YAY! Thanks! I was almost folding and just going with Cream colored ties. So glad I don’t have to now!

Did you make your branches with the red pom poms???? Looks exactly like what we were thinking about! Would love to hear more about them.

Vicki-
No, I did not make the branches with the pomanders. My florst did–review to come soon. I posted about them here:

There are some better shots of them here as well:

It seems my florist spray painted manzanita branches white, secured them to a base of floral foam & something weightier in a box, covered the base with moss, and then wove pomanders made of fresh carnations within the branches.

Sorry I don’t have many DIY tips on this…good luck!
