The wedding went splendidly. It could not have been easier, or more pleasant. It was exactly how I pictured it would be: springy, fun and an all around delight. It was most definitely a blessed day, as the sun popped out of the clouds that weekend and showed us some of the Puget Sound's most beautiful weather.
One of the highlights of that day was the beautiful flower arrangements my florist put together. It was as though she took the image I had in my mind and duplicated it. Yes, I provided the best photo examples of the peony arrangements and bouquets I wanted, as well as color schemes and so forth, but she went above and beyond all of that. They were prefect.
My shoes, were by no means as painful as I thought they would be. They lasted on my feet from 2 p.m. until around midnight. Quite impressive for three and a half inch high, satin, Louboutin slippers. Mother's pearl and diamond drop earrings were my 'something borrowed' and my great grandmother's handkerchief stuffed into my bustier was my 'something old.' Once the reception was over I changed into an early 1960's ivory dress. I actually did not plan that change, but it happened that I had purchased the dress just the week before and it worked great when I felt like getting out of my dress and showing off the shoes!
In the back yard, the ceremony was held, using white wooden chairs. Once it was over, our catering staff quickly set up the cocktail tables, with white table clothes and crystal bowls with a single pink peony in each as centerpieces. That ended up looking great as well.
