Wedding: The Reception

Here's my last installment of our wedding. Our reception was wonderful. We had The Kernel do the music, and it could not have been more perfect. Lots of food and dancing and talking to people. An evening I'll always remember.

And then there was dancing!

 

Then it was time to leave.

 And that was our wedding!

Wedding: The Ceremony

We had the wedding and reception in the same venue. A neat old building in downtown Nashville call Avenue. It was the perfect place, lovely and old, and completely bare so we could transform it into what we wanted. Being a music major in college and having a love for everything older, I knew my music choices would reflect that. The bridesmaids/groomsman walked down to Moon River and I walked down the aisle to Somebody To Watch Over Me (that song makes me melt every time) played by a string quartet.

 And we were married!

P.S. one more Wedding post coming your way (you'll get to see us rockin' out at the reception)

Wedding: People We Love

These are photos of all the lovely people who were in the wedding and our families, whom we love so dearly.

My lovely bridesmaids. They are all so dear to me. From left to right: Sarah, my darling sister. Kayla, my new amazing sister! Rachael, my loving wonderful friend. Hannah, my other lovely sister. All of my bridesmaids wore vintage dresses we found here in Nashville at a local vintage shop. They also wore vintage gloves. I just didn't like the idea of making all the girls wearing one dress that wouldn't look flattering on all of them. So we went hunting for beautiful vintage dresses that would look lovely on each of them.

Tyler had amazing groomsmen. From left to right: Blake, Josh (his brother), Zach, and Caleb.

Kayla and Josh-Tyler's amazing siblings (now mine too!)

I love this photo of Tyler and his Dad.

All my siblings gathered together! Hannah, Sarah, David, and Jesse.

My beautiful mother. She wore a lovely 50's dress for the wedding.

My father will hate that these next two photos are online, but they are amazing candid shots of him and his mother, and I just love them:

Wedding: Us

Tyler wore a suit from J. Crew on our wedding day. His shirt and, tie, belt, and socks were also from them. He wore a little tie clip that had an E on it :)

My dress was from the 50's and I found it on etsy. I never even went dress shopping, I found it, and knew it was the one. I wore a 50's rabbit fur jacket and flowery hair piece (which at one time must have had a veil but it had been taken off). My shoes I found at Anthropologie, they were the perfect color. My gloves were my mom's she wore on her wedding day. They're from around 1910 ish. I wanted, for a little while, to wear her wedding dress, as it's Edwardian, but it was so delicate, and this dress ended up being perfect, but I'm do glad I got to wear the gloves.
