Mrs. Lamb's Picture
Mrs. Lamb, Norfolk Age and Occupation: 25, Homeland Security Consultant Fiance's Age and Occupation: 27, Graduate Student Engagement Date: January 2009 Wedding Date: January 2010 Venue: Trinity Presbyterian Church/Harrison Opera House About Me: I’m a Homeland Security Consultant with a tendency towards pulling office pranks, taking lunch breaks, and drinking Wawa shakes. I’m also an English major with a serious obsession with alliteration and rhymes. While I’m not keeping America safe, I’m training for half marathons and the Escape from Alcatraz swim. Or moving for the third time this year. Or baking. Or wedding crafting. Or crying about wedding planning. All the while, I’m getting myself into Lucille Ball-esque scrapes and making Jim Carey-esque faces. Our big fat Czech/Baptist/Jewish/Italian wedding is a combination of vintage eclectic, DIY, and little spoonful of sugar from our Event Coordinator. It’s going to be a Norfolk flavored wedding with the verve of an only-daughter-blow-out bash!
About Mrs. Lamb

Remember when your wedding was just an idea? I was reading through my archives and it was so fun to see how all of my thoughts were executed, evolved, and even discarded.

Here’s my original inspiration board from nearly a year ago:

Mine at Last: Inspiration Board vs. Execution Board :  wedding color schemes norfolk Ibt 41 ibt-4


From L to R starting on the top row:

And this is a collage of photographs from our wedding:

Mine at Last: Inspiration Board vs. Execution Board :  wedding color schemes norfolk Inspira1 Inspira

*All photographs by Sam Hughes (cropping and collage by me)

I think I toed the party line on this one and ended up executing a very close interpretation, save the last minute shoes bringing in a pop of red!

Have you stood by your original vision or has your wedding evolved from your inspiration?

I’m totally impressed that you stuck with your original inspiration. Your wedding was so timeless & classic looking! Its one of those weddings where everyone will look back in 30 years and swoon instead of asking “what was she thinking??” lol. Simply beautiful!

I think you hit the nail on the head. The red shoe switcheroo was genius though. :)
