It's all in the details....

My "Something Blue" for the wedding was my awesome blue argyle socks that I wore with my boots. They were so soft and comfy, and it was such a fun little touch. And of course, we didn't want Troy to be left out of the fun, so we got him some argyle socks in the perfect wedding colors... brown, orange and sage. Thank you Mom for lending me your garter from your wedding for my "Something Borrowed" and my "Something Old"..... that was so perfect and meant so much to me! As for "Something New"... take your pick... dress, jewelry, wedding ring.... I was so spoiled!

Troy's boutonnieres (sp?) were just perfect! Loves them... and yes, he had two! :) The one below, and then one with a Calla Lily - my favorite flower. And he had two ties too! They were both so perfect, that we just couldn't decide and had to use both!
Oh.... and thank you Sherri for helping with getting the perfect cuff links! They couldn't have been a more perfect wedding gift for me ot give my groom!
Then there were the boots! Yes, everything started with the boots! Haha! I found them years ago and told Troy that I was getting them for our wedding. He just laughed and said OK. :) So I bought them and we planned everything around them... silly, yes, but I plan my everyday wardrobe around my shoes... why not my wedding day???
I loved the jewelry that Troy helped me pick out for the wedding... the stones were the perfect shade of sage and the medal work had the perfect vintage look. I loved it all and have worn it all several times since. How many of you knew that the bride's bouquet was traditionally a gift from the groom? Well Troy is a traditionalist at heart and he wanted my bouquet be a gift from him. So.... my bouquet was a surprise creation of Troy, Robert and Mark - and it couldn't have been more perfect! I loved it!! I didn't know what to expect, but it was absolutely gorgeous! And had all my favorite orange flowers (and not a pink petal in sight! haha!)... lilies of all sorts, orchids of all sorts... just wonderful! Thank you Troy for my perfect present! XOXOCarly was such an amazing help with the place cards! Thank you Carly! They turned out absolutely beautiful!
Our cake not only looked perfect, it was delicious too! We had 2 different flavors - Red Velvet Cake with Bavarian Cream Filling and Lemon Cake with Raspberry Jam and Bavarian Cream. Yummmmm! Rockwell Cakes definitely does an excellent job! I am already looking forward to our anniversary cake! Our two dear friends and florists from Every Blooming Thing in Salt Lake flew down to do all of our flowers. They created the perfect feel at every turn.... my bouquet, the corsages, the boutonnieres (ok I seriously have no idea how to spell that word.. haha!), the centerpieces, etc. I just loved the way everything turned out... broken vases and all! Haha! Thank you Robert and Mark! Then there were the flowers for everyone's hair... thanks Carly! All the nieces, sisters, sister-in-laws and 2 of my friends had orange or brown flowers for the their hair... such a great touch! And I especially loved the one that I wore! And of course we can't forget the infamous PINK flowers! Haha! Troy (our florists and my little sister apparently) were all just giddy about Troy's practical joke. Not that I have anything against pink roses, but they were definitely not in my vision of the perfect wedding day... much to Troy's chagrin. Haha! He loved the orange flowers and the colors we picked for the wedding, but still thought it fun to torment me about about getting me a pink bouquet. It was a fun joke and made us all laugh and giggle endlessly. :) I don't have any pictures here but I also want to mention the delicious chocolate (and white chocolate, of course) covered strawberries, and all the delicious food that Turnip Rose provided at the reception... yum! yum! yum! Everything was so delicious!

Almost forgot to mention Mark and Tracy! They are both dear friends of both mine and Troy's. We are so thrilled that they could both make it down for the reception! Mark also gave a toast, which was so sweet of him! And Tracy helped Mark and Robert all day with the flowers! So sweet of him to spend his vacation doing that! Thank you to all our family and friends for their love, support and help with making our wedding day perfect!! XOXO
