Wedding Programs : Joy & Marcus

Two and a half weeks ago I had the privilege of celebrating the wedding of my good friends Marcus and Joy!  What a great couple, I can't say enough about them!  The wedding day was such of reflection of them and their love.  We had a wonderful time!  They entrusted me with the responsibility of coordinating the activities the day of the wedding, and I am glad to say it went off without a hitch!  The day was beautiful, it was planned to the "t," and it was such an honor to be a part of their special day.  Unfortunately I was running around so much I didn't get a chance to pull out my camera, so where I would normally insert a picture of the happy couple I have none. :(  But I did grab this one off of facebook!

Gorgeous right?!

The other thing they gave me a chance to do was design their wedding programs!  I always enjoy grabbing little projects here and there so I thought I would share this one with you as well!

All in all it was such a fun day and I'm so happy for my friends and the new journey they are starting on!  Wish you both the best!

Wedding Bulletin Design

These last couple months have been a flurry of wedding preparation for my older sisters wedding which was last Saturday!  I was excited when she came to me and asked if I would like to design the bulletin for their ceremony.  They had an idea they had seen from a previous wedding that we worked off of and I think it turned out great!

Here's and example of what the inside pages looked like.

(I found this bulletin left behind after the wedding so please excuse the wrinkling and random spots!)



I was really pleased with how they turned out and I think that black background with the green ribbon really finished them off nicely.  I would share some wedding photos but since I was in the wedding I didn't have my camera on me during the day.  I will definitely link to the photographers blog when he posts about the wedding!  (update 5/22/13: here is the link!) Here are two shots that I got from my mom and my sister!

This is Rochelle and I waiting downstairs before the ceremony started!

And one last shot of all the siblings!  Jennifer looked absolutely amazing :D

Jennifer's Bridal Shower

My older sister is getting married!! :D  I'm so excited for her, the big day is March 17th and it is coming up SO fast!  Last weekend we had the pleasure of throwing her a surprise bridal shower.  I thought for sure she had figured it out but to my surprise (and hers) she didn't even have an inkling!  *pat on the back*  I've decided that while I like planning parties, surprise parties are not my thing!  Way to much stress.  My plan A was a bust so at the last minute we were trying to scrape up some semblance of a plan B.  A BIG thanks goes to Shannon for stepping it up and getting her to the church without having to spill the beans :D  As the MOH I ran the show but then also tried to step aside and snap some pics along the way.  Thanks to my other trusty bridesmaids we had some great food and a couple little games to go along with opening the presents.   I didn't get a picture of the stack of presents but I think they are well on their way to setting up house!

SURPRISE!!  As soon as she saw us she turned around and ran back out to the car to fix her hair, but we thought she was running away so we all followed her! Haha

 

 

My lovely younger sister Rochelle did all the recording for Jennifer 

After the shower was over Jennifer and Shannon decided to let the balloons go outside of the church
