Our Fall Wedding

Hannah & Husband Wedding

Yesterday marked nine years with this stud. How crazy is that?! So, in the spirit of #tbt, I thought I would share a few snapshots from our Fall wedding.

Someone asked me the other day what our wedding was like. As I’ve mentioned before, we got married so young–21 and 22 respectively! Our budget was small and our tastes were very different than what they are today. But in true Hannah fashion, there was a fabulously detailed wedding binder. One of my friends bought me the Martha Stewart Wedding Planner around the time we got engaged, and it’s still fun to look through. (Also, it’s a fab resource if you’re into entertaining.)

As you may have guessed from the inspiration above, our wedding was decorated with all things Fall. Nautrally, flowers were key! After an unfriendly trip to a flower shop, my mom and I ended up at Kroger. The florist there  built the bouquets as we were discussing them! Look for perfection can be found in unexpected places.

While we had a cake and punch reception, Husband and I were most concerned with the after-party. Nestled in a hollow, we had a barbecue with all our closest friends and family. There was a jazz quartet, a bonfire, and lots of pumpkins.

We had so much fun! Bribe your guests with candy and plenty to do! (The drawing below was my favorite of the night!)

Finally, the cake topper that followed us to the barn party. My mom and dad have always had a house full of antiques, but this dapper pair is still one of my absolute favorites. They sat atop my great uncle’s wedding cake in 1930 and 76 years later graced our polka-dotted chocolate one. I think keepsakes are a beautiful way to layer stories and history.

Also, I still think we should recreate the outfits in real life… mostly because I really want a crown of giant white flowers!

Of course there are a million other things I could share, but we’ll save that for another time. For now, click here to read our post about our first nine years: “On Marriage and Changing.”
