I LOVE reading other bee’s posts about their wedding day details. I’m a sucker for an artistic ring shot or a photo of bouquets in the bride and bridesmaids hands. So, here are all those special detail shots from our big day!

Here’s an artistic ring shot to start us off!
When our guests first arrived, they were greeted by our engagement photo guest book, programs and mad lib cards.
Unfortunately, not many people participated in the mad libs. I think people forgot to go back and grab them after the ceremony. My bad. But we did get a handful of hilariously clever completed mad libs.
Our Programs. They were a pain to make, but our guests really loved them.
Our “UP” card mailbox!
This was a last minute addition. You might recognize those mugs from anthropologie. I went to Osh and grabbed the first orange flowers I could find and planted them in the mugs. I thought it added a little something extra to our gift table.
Our beautiful ceremony site at the Padua Hills Theater
My beautiful poms before they were destroyed.
I was lame and forgot to get a cute hanger for my dress.
My something blue shoes.
My Angels baseball garter.
A close up of my something borrowed bracelet from MOH N.
I love this shot of our rings.
My DIY sign! It ended up falling apart after the wedding, but it served its purpose!
We used the ring pillow that my parents used for their wedding. My Mom bought it at a thrift store in 1983.
And what’s that I spy attached to the bow?
My Bee charms that were passed onto to me from Mrs. Petit Four.
They took a special ride down the aisle on the ring pillow.
My beautiful bouquet by Cupids Arrow.
I was so pleased with the way my bouquet and my bridesmaids bouquets turned out. I really gave no instructions other than green with some white for the bridesmaids. I happened to mention how much I love tulips and was so happy to see them present in the bridesmaids bouquets.

Oh yay! I love detail shots! I love that you used a “Someday My Prince” will come quote on your guestbook, and I love your programs and “Up!” card mailbox, too!!
Ooh all of your jewelry is so pretty! I love your detail shots. Thanks for sharing. 
I loe both ring shots. I really like how the orange stands out, I never imagined it’d look so good as wedding colors.
The RINGS! Ahhh. And I’m still in love with the mailbox, I just think that is adorable.
What a great ring shots in the succulents! Oooo, love your orange roses!
Your details are so perfect! The ring shot in the succulents is just wonderful and I love all your paper products!
Love it!! This might seem like a silly question… but what kind of pens/markers did you use for the guest book? I’m afraid of ink that smears/bleeds through, but I want it to write smoothly. Thanks!
@MrsPeachMartini: Not a silly question at all! We used a acid free fine tip sharpie. I didn’t love the way it wrote on the photo paper but I didn’t bleed through. I’m pretty sure it will not fade though.
@Miss Toadstool: Thanks! It turned out just the way I wanted, just pops of orange here and there. I didn’t want it to be too overwhelming.
I’m in love with the anthropologist mugs. I know I’ve seen them before, but I just think they look so fantastic no matter the setting.
Detail shots are a favorite of mine too. They showcase all those hours of work!
@ChicagoDreamer: So true about the mugs. I also love that you can re-use them
Your shoes! The orange details! The paper! I love them all. AND I love how you involved the bees! So unique.
So in love with your shoes! I’m sure I’ve told you that before, though.
Mrs. Castle, NYC/Southern California Age and Occupation: 26, Actress/Babysitter Fiance's Age and Occupation: 31, Actor/Writer/Graphic Designer Engagement Date: January 1, 2011 Wedding Date: April 2012 Venue: Padua Hills Theater About Me: I am a Southern California girl living in the Big Apple. I moved here to put my degree in Musical Theater to work! My survival job is caregiver to an adorable 2 1/2 year old. When I'm not working, auditioning or rehearsing, I am hanging out at home with my FI and our two beloved cats. I love to read, sing, dance, hang with friends, and spend quality time with Mr. Castle watching our favorite TV shows (LOST, Big Bang Theory, and Mythbusters...to name a few). Mr Castle and I met while performing in college, so it is only fitting that our wedding take place at an old theater. We are planning a vintage, theater-inspired wedding with some DIY projects and plenty of personal touches thrown in. I love living in the city but I am excited to marry my man in the state where we fell in love.
