We don’t have as many reception details to share with you as usual, but then again, that’s not really the point with this wedding — this time, it’s all about the portraits, taken by Two Suez Photography. Aren’t the shots among the Christmas trees breathtaking? Just about as lovely as the way Bailie + Chase ended the night, by releasing paper lanterns into the dark sky. Does anyone else see a new trend in the works? (And does anyone else think that last lantern looks a heart? Because I sure do!) See more at Two Suez’s blog here. And happy December!
Tell us about finding your wedding dress: My mom and I were bored so we decided we would go try wedding dress shopping. I couldn’t find a single dress I liked at the first place we visited, but my mom MADE me try on a dress that was nothing like the one I had in my mind. Being the sweet daughter I am, I tried the dress on and instantly fell in love with it! I never put on another dress.
Describe your wedding flowers: Lots of mums!! My bridesmaids and I carried identical bouquets, with the exception that my flowers were yellow and theirs were white.
Describe your wedding cake: Chase’s aunt made both cakes! Our wedding cake had two tiers and was small, simple and decorated with sunflowers. Chase’s groom cake was poker-themed and Aunt Diane put a picture of Chase in the middle.
What was the biggest challenge you had to overcome while planning your wedding? Making time for studying for test and doing homework! Also, having bridal showers. (I dreaded showers, but it all worked out just fine.)
Were there any wedding traditions or new ideas you included in the wedding? The reception was just like one of our “barn parties!” The new idea that I used was the sky lanterns. Everyone had the best time lighting them and releasing them!
What was your most memorable moment about your wedding day? Everything! Every moment about that day and night will always replay in my head!
Did you write your own vows? If so, what was your favorite phrase, verse or line? We said traditional vows. Chase’s uncle was our preacher and we repeated after him.
What’s next for you as a couple? What are you looking forward to in the future? I’m graduating nursing school next year, so school, graduation, then getting my first “big girl” job as a registered nurse. We want to have children. but not right now! The future is endless!
