Making Memories: Honeymoon Recap

Would you like to see our 100+ vacation photos from the honeymoon? If you thought yes, you're in luck since that's what we've got in store for today.

We woke up Sunday morning after the wedding to a gift basket our good friends had hidden in the trunk of our car, carefully crafted for our honeymoon...

Weekend Basics

Amidst getting back home from honeymooning, trying to clean up and get organized from what feels like a wedding bomb that exploded in our house, we did get up and out a little bit as we continue to feel like we're getting back to normal. Who knew a wedding could take so much physical energy to come back from! Whew!

"Heading Home from Honeymooning in Hatteras"

Say that one five times fast...Oh, and also we've been staying in Salvo, just about 16 miles shy of the cape, but Hatteras made for a better tongue twister title, and we're so close...

Weekend Projects: Wine Cork Crafts

Mary and I aren't ones to shy away from enjoying a good glass of wine here and there. In fact, we've been enjoying a few while we honeymoon at the beach this week. We're also ones to enjoy saving and re-purposing different materials, so you can probably imagine the growing collection of wine corks we have going on...

Bridal Luncheon & Rehearsal Dinner Place Settings

Last Friday before the wedding was filled with fun wedding prep events  — my mother hosted a bridal luncheon at the Virginia Museum of Fine Art's Amuse Restaurant and we enjoyed dinner with the wedding party after the rehearsal at Azzurro, the Italian restaurant where Tim and I first met.

We're looking forward to sharing more pics and details from both the events of the luncheon and rehearsal dinner last Friday in future posts but wanted to quickly share the how the diy place cards we posted about last week at the dinner turned out — and while we're talking table decor, show what we did for the luncheon as well.

Wedding Detail: Monogrammed Pocket Squares

This week while we're honeymooning we thought it would be fun to share some more background behind some of the details we incorporated into the big day. One of the many handmade details from our wedding included hand stitched monogram pocket squares from Jessica of Miniature Rhino on Etsy...

Hitched! 17 Apart Wedding Preview

We made it! Tim and I are officially married as of Saturday and are already relaxing with Basil in a cozy remote beach cottage nestled in Hatteras. We knew we'd have limited internet access while here (which helps force us unplug), and are actually checking in via mobile hotspot — thank you iPhone! It's been fun seeing all the candid wedding photos shared across our Facebook feeds taken from all of our friends and family over the past couple of days — it really is so interesting to get to see a look at the wedding through all the different angles and points of view.
