I just can’t believe that it’s been a year since our wedding. And what an amazing year it was!

Happy Anniversary, darling! I love you!

Wedding Recap: Paper

The paper elements were all DIY. I worked with a friend to come up with the design for the invitations and save the dates and we printed them ourselves.

Each of our paper products contained this image in some shape or form:
__Picture 1

SAVE THE DATES:
Here were the supplies…

Chicago_Sept08 001

They were printed on paper, then mounted on brown and then teal cardstock (from Papersource).

See that little jewel in the upper left hand corner? That was my idea. They needed a little bling! I bought some “diva” iron on jewels and with tweezers, applied them to each one.

INVITATIONS:
We bought a kit at Target, but basically threw everything away except for the envelopes.

The pieces:

The actual invitation:

We really wanted to throw a fun party for our bridal party and family before the main event. And we definitely wanted to take full advantage of the lake while we were there.

A BBQ party was the perfect idea, we also rented two jetskis for the afternoon to play around with!

In order to drive them, we had to pass the New Hampshire boating test! This was so stressful! I studied for days for it! Even before we left California!!! But luckily we passed!

After the BBQ, we invited our friends to camp with us in a few cabins that we rented!!! This was definitely one of the best nights of my whole life. Just to be able to hang out with everyone meant so much to us.

We picked up some pizzas:

I hadn’t seen or talked to Irving all day, and I couldn’t wait to get down there to see him.

He was so handsome!!

We each wrote our own vows, and once we started saying them, we realized how similiar they were!
I love this photo because it captures how much fun we were having up there.
