Wedding Set Up

We did a lot of set up for the wedding - The smartest thing we did was start on Thursday morning - it made for a much less stressful day prior to the wedding. I knew that it would take a lot of help from friends and family, but i was humbled by all the time and effort that others put into our wedding day. A special thanks to our family, friends and bridal party for making this day happen.

The wedding set up was quite extensive, especially at the reception hall. It started out with a trailor and two car loads full of supplies and decorations.

Then came the unloading of the car - here are the bridesmaid bags being taken upstairs

here we are with several bridesmaids, groomsmen, father of the bride - the topic of discussion: lighting!!

 

putting curtains onto rods - yes, mom made curtains for the windows!

hanging the curtains

Nolan and Kevin

I designed the programs and we put them together

here is the finished product - hand stamped and ribbon bound

taking a much needed break -  dad and the musicians

mom, begging me to let her do something i didn't like. Probably trying to convince me the pew bows were a good idea...

so as to not be confused by who sits where...

More to come, but probably not for a few days - we are off to a short honeymoon trip tomorrow followed by an open house/reception in my home town, Arthur IL on Saturday
