Corwin and Stephanie’s wedding was one of my absolute favorites. There was so much love and laughter that you couldn’t help but enjoy the day. Everything was pretty much handmade, Corwin’s parents were working on decorating the cake and the kitchen smelled amazing, it could be that I love sugar anyways, but that was so awesome! A big white tent filled the backyard, Rob and I loved looking at all the pictures of Stephanie and Corwin as they were growing up, plus the little welcoming gnome was a favorite, who doesn’t like gnomes?
The girls were getting their hair done upstairs and Stephanie showed me the super awesome blue veil that she made from a loofah and beaded. The girl has mad skills, she also sewed the guys vests, added a cute colorful trim to the girl’s dresses and made flowers for her hair and shoes, how awesome is that? Plus, everyone that could helped to make origami flowers and cranes, I loved all the handmade touches, I think it really shows when a couple does so much themselves.
The backyard wedding was perfect, and then we hit the circus. Yes, I did type that correctly, the Circus! Where we got pictures by the colorful wagons, and had the bride and groom ride Tiny, who really is not tiny, the elephant.
And after that, we returned to the reception where dinner was all made by family and friends, and it was delicious. The cake was cut, equally delicious, and the dancing began. There were origami cranes, fairy lights, paper lanterns and little metal lanterns hanging from the ceiling of the tent and everywhere you looked was something that Corwin or Stephanie had made to celebrate the day.
It was so much fun, and I hope you all enjoy the little glimpses that I’m showing. It was so hard to narrow these images down, I really just wanted to put up every single picture we took, but that would be one ginormous post, so here ya go!
A backyard with elephants? Who would have thought! nice photos.
