Wedding Anniversary Tablescape

It's time again for Tablescape Thursday, hosted by Between Naps on the Porch.

Sunday is my and my husband's first wedding anniversary. So I decided to do a tablescape that had our wedding colors and resembled our reception tables.

Our wedding colors were cream, sage green and chocolate brown.

Half of our reception tables had flower filled pumpkins as the centerpiece and the other half had vases filled coffee beans and a birch candle.

Here are some pictures of the centerpieces.

Here's a little champagne and cocktail napkins with our new monogram.

These are the actual candles from the reception that we bought at Target. I still light them all the time and they have lasted the whole year!

I had these two pinecone candles and decided to use them to resemble the pinecone placecards from the wedding.

The placecards from the wedding were printed and stamped by me so I had a few left over and thought I could use them again for holidays or other get togethers.

Check out the rest of my wedding pictures here, here and here.

Wedding Week Part III: Outdoor Pics & The Reception

After the wedding we hopped onto the trolley and toured Milwaukee and the lakefront.

We got off to take some pictures.

The bridesmaids: (from left to right) Laura & Kayla my twin sisters, Kate my friend from high school and Corrine a friend of the family.

The groomsmen: (from left to right) Ryan's brother Danny, James his friend from high school and Chris and Joe his friends from college.

A beautiful bridge by the lakefront.

This is the spot where Ryan proposed to me. It's a staircase to a restaurant that overlooks the lake.

The art museum. (our reception building is just across the street from this!)

The cake cutting.

Banana spice cake, yum!

Here's a look at the back of my dress.

Dancing with my dad. Not sure what was so funny :)

Dancing with my stepdad.

Ryan dancing with his mom.

So there you have it! A look into the best day of my life! The whole day was filled with so much love and it was great sharing it with great friends and family.

Happy anniversary Babe :)

Wedding Week Part II: Getting Ready & The Ceremony

We have now come to the moment of getting ready for the big moment. Whew! I was a little nervous.

This is me looking out of the hotel window of downtown Milwaukee. The reception site was right at the end of this street, over-looking Lake Michigan.

This Ryan and his two best men, friends from college and high school.

Ryan's youngest brother and one of the ring bearers.

Me and my sisters have a good laugh before leaving for the church. They were both my maids of honor.

The outside of our beautiful church.

This is it! My step-dad is peeking around the corner, waiting for the signal to walk down the aisle.

Both my dad and my step-dad gave me away.

Here are all the groomsmen and bridesmaids.

The vows.

The kiss.

Ryan's family- I'm the first daughter!

My family. And yes, that is my brother (one of the ushers) that managed to escape most of the pictures :)

Of course, my mom needed her own picture.

One of my favorite pictures.

We had a trolley take us around for some pictures and then drop us off at the reception.

I forgot to get a picture with Ryan on the back of the trolley but of course him and Chris get one!

Next up...the pictures around Milwaukee and the reception.
