We didn’t exactly PLAN to have a gap between ceremony and reception on our wedding day. We just booked each venue at the time that worked best … then realized there were about three hours between events.
I was torn about the gap, because I’ve attended weddings where I found in-between-time to be a little annoying. But it was extremely valuable for us because we (by which I mean our guests!) did all the decorating and needed time to work. And because I’m easily tired, it was nice to rest up between events.
But best of all? Our photographer used part of the time to take some amazing portraits of the two of us canoodling on the streets around the ceremony space:
(The whole area is just so darn photogenic — every house offered spectacular backdrops)
(In retrospect, I’m not a fan of the shawl and veil together. Yes, it was COLD! But have 10 seasons of ANTM taught me nothing, if I’m not prepared to suffer for the model’s art??)

Wow. These photos are gorgeous! You both look so incredibly relaxed and like you are simply soaking up the moments… truly gorgeous.
I really love the shawl with your whole getup! The pop of color looks amazing in these photos!
YAY, Tulip!!!! These are great. And I don’t mind the shawl/veil combo. I think it’s nice!
I actually really like the shawl and the veil together… the shawl is beautiful and add wonderful color.
P.S. You two are so cute together, makes me smile 
You two are adorable. You can feel the joy readiatng thru the screen.
And your pics make me a little homesick for Old Town… 
Oh my gosh, Mrs Tulip, it’s so funny - I found your photos a while ago on your photographer’s website, and I didn’t even know you were a Bee! I only found them because I’m also wearing red flats for my wedding and I was hunting for pictures - I think “ruby slippers wedding” threw up your photos! Yay for red shoes!
Beautiful!! My favorite is the last one. You two are seriously pros at canoodling.
I love those wreaths in the second photo!
But my true fav is the Eskimo kiss in the first. Cuuute.

About Me: In all my dreams of the man I'd someday marry, I never pictured anyone as perfect for me as Mr. Tulip. So now we just have to make it through the craziness of the wedding and the moving in together! I love crafts, sewing, jewelry making, and photography, so am looking forward to this chance for DIY fun. When not wedding planning, I'm playing with our dog and 4 cats, Ebay shopping, or watching too much TV (often simultaneously!).
