Weddingbee Blog

I’ve been putting this off, but with my recaps finished the time has come for me to step aside. To say I’ve enjoyed being a part of the Weddingbee community is an understatement; I’ve delighted in writing every post, I’ve appreciated how much fun we’ve had together, and I’m humbled by all that I’ve learned from you. Aside from the photos and video (which I promise to post once we have the final product), we have a couple other tangible mementos of our wedding day that I’d like to share with you before I go. The first is a magnificent keepsake by artist Betty Gjesdal of CurlyArt, where she preserved the flowers from my wedding bouquet and transformed them into a set of six canvas paintings. Four of these now grace the wall of our new home, while the other two will be given to our parents as a post-wedding gift.

Betty did an exquisite job of translating elements of our wedding onto canvas, even painting the vines in the style of the font I so loved for our invitations and embellishing the pressed scented geranium leaves with an antique gold finish.

No longer perched atop a buttercream frosted confection, our beloved cake topper now surveys our living room from the top shelf of our bookcase, and whenever I catch a glimpse of the pair a fond smile touches my lips.

Thank you for your support, kindness, and most of all—thank you for letting me share our journey with you. It’s been one helluva ride, and I’m looking forward to stepping into my new role of a loiterer and following along with the rest of you as the new generations of bee bloggers chronicle their adventures.
