About Mrs. Joey

While we were busy getting married, one of our amazing photographers, Kat from Persimmon Images, aka Mrs. Cherry Pie, was busy capturing a few of the reception details. Here are some of our favorites!

Some of the tables got a few (or 10) more elements than I had planned. Luckily, I didn’t notice. The empty vase was for my bouquet.

The final bee guest appearance came in the form of a drawing. We had a little something extra made for the kids. Mrs. Gummi Bear did an amazing job. I loved how it came out. I can’t wait to color one in myself and have it displayed in our home. :)

I loved the luggage tags favors I slaved over. They were a huge hit. People loved the design and that they could actually use them. Our flower girl had her tag on her backpack on the first day of school.

I really liked the succulents. People were really excited to take them home after the reception. If I had it to do again, I’d only do succulents and Billy Balls at the reception. I loved the dahlias and Queen Anne’s Lace but I couldn’t put the flowers together until the day before the wedding. The succulents were ready 2 weeks before the wedding and I received the Billy Ball a week before. They keep really well, too. I still have some from the wedding in our apartment. They look fresh even when they are dry.

Our reception space had so many lovely details in itself. We didn’t plan on having a vintage looking wedding, but somehow between the dress, veil and reception site, it came out that way. It was fate, I guess.

@Jessd8837: I bought the vases from West Elm on clearance. They were the wrong shade of yellow, so I painted them the colors we wanted.

I love the luggage tag idea-how did you do it? I may have missed your post if you did one.

@Cristy314: I got it off Ebay. I bought everything I could find. I think it’s a few years old but it’s from a Timeless Treasures collection.

Oh, it was fabric. I made all the squares and runners.

Beautiful! I’m in love with your details. I love all the details. What a neat idea providing coloring sheets for the children.
