Monica + Josh wedding {by liz}

In case anyone has ever wondered, I choose all of the photos for the blog before I write anything. And then I look back through all of them together to make sure it tells the story just right before I dig in on typing and adding comments. I just did my look back through this whole set and thought “damn this was a pretty day.” Not surprising with my gal Shelli Alred at the helm of the design piece, but she had no control over how flawless Monica looked or how charismatic Josh was. And then there are the moments…Monica, her mom and her sister dancing as they helped her into her gown and Josh playing Monica a song on stage at the reception. All kinds of things to put a smile on your face! If you need a break from election stress THIS is the place! Starting with sparkly hangers and Kate Spade shoes. Let’s be honest, nothing that starts with Kate can be a bad idea. So take a look and enjoy!

Invitations with gold glitter and wood. Rustic glamour! Kind of what I’m going for in my new kitchen renovation actually. :)

Kinda loving this random little spot I found in Soulard for our photos. So much easier to find interesting spots to use when we have smaller wedding parties!
