Hi, Sweet Friends!

I'm so excited as this is the day we make the flower arrangements, bouquets, and boutonnieres! These Peonies are from my yard and I just love the fullness of the flowers!

Romans 12:10

I chose peachy pink and white Peonies. All of the flowers came from Hobby Lobby and JoAnn's.

These silk flowers came from JoAnn's Spring 2022.

I picked out flowers for my own Bridal Bouquet, 2 Matron's Bouquets, and 3 Boutonnieres.

Hobby Lobby had this cute Sunflower & Daisy Bouquet for our Flower Girl. The little succulent boutonnière is for the Ring Barer.

We popped over to our local Hobby Lobby store and found some very nice decor for our wedding venue.

We will be having a nice cake celebration with a few side desserts and coffee & tea for the guests.

Since we are marrying at our home church, we want to take advantage of the kitchen and dining area in the hall. We are able to use the plates, utensils, table cloths, glassware, and cup & saucers.

This really brings down the cost of the venue for us. Our budget is a bit limited, but having the cake reception at the church Friendship Hall makes it much more affordable.

❤We will have white table cloths, forks, napkins, dessert plates, glasses for water or ice tea, and cup/saucer for tea or coffee.

 This is a fun wedding and we wanted a bit of whimsy added to it!

Our chosen wedding cake topper is above; the groom and bride surrounded by their cats & dogs! How appropriate for us!

For our cake, we decided on two cakes. One traditional white cake and one chocolate cake.

Traditional White cake

These cakes are similar to what we have ordered.

(We are ordering ours from Walmart Bakery) link We found the taste and texture of these cakes from Walmart Bakery are the best in our area. AND it has been fun testing cakes from around town. We just purchased a small round, one per week, and had enough cakes to make our choice. Surprisingly, Walmart Bakery won out!

We have some fun decor for around the room and on the tables.

The tables will have little greenery pots with table numbers in the middle. This is the best option for our guests with flower allergies.

 Also see the layout above of the table settings.

By the guest book, we will have the sign above. We have many family members who would have enjoyed sharing this day and we will remember them. On the guest book table, there will be a pen and a book for the guests to write in. I am using my house plants for decor fillers. I will have a Peace Lilly at this table.

Our Guest Book is a simple guest book

and I added a piece of my Grandmother's lace to it. This way it is not only a guest book, but a special piece of history for my family.
