I’ve already shown you all the Birdie Details from our wedding, but I had to show off the other details.

I really didn’t want a flowery arch, but Mama Frenchie and my florist talked me into one. I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised with the result.

A last minute DIY project, thanks to this post by Mrs Lightning.

My gorgeous bouquet that I still can’t bring myself to throw away.

Mr Frenchie’s manly boutonniere and FIL Frenchie’s tie from the ’60s, gifted to Mr Frenchie around the time we got engaged. MIL Frenchie’s dress ended up matching the tie perfectly.

My bridesmaids’ colorful and wild bouquets.

My wedding clutch that Etsy seller IMH Designs overnighted to me days before the wedding. Nothing like waiting until the last minute to decided on clutch.

My bright yellow Calvin Klein pumps. Like the clutch, I couldn’t decide which shoes to purchase. In the end I decided to wear a pair of yellow shoes I already owned and they were perfect.

Our rings on a bunch of grapes from the vineyard.

The “Wish Dish” – at a meeting with our DOC two weeks before the wedding, Amanda suggested a “Wish Bowl” when we had no clue what to do for a guest book. Mama Frenchie surprised me by getting this made at Color Me Mine. We nicknamed it a “Wish Dish” because it wasn’t really a bowl.

Like many other brides I wore two garters. The one below was the same garter my mother and her mother wore in their weddings. Mama Frenchie also made me a similar one for the toss.

My favorite champagne…err, sparkling wine…

… and a closer shot of Mr Frenchie’s Grandmother’s glasses.

So far…
