wedding video!

 I got married in April. It was perfect. My super talented friend Nathan made this video for us. I can't even explain in words how much I love it. There are some really beautiful shots of family, friends, big brown, dancing, decor, etc. I hope you enjoy it!

Allison and Ray's Wedding from Nathan Willis on Vimeo.
This is my favorite thing right now.

wedding weekend

This past weekend Ray and I drove to Wake Forest, North Carolina to see one of my sweet friend, Whitney, get married. She was a beautiful bride and it was a wonderful (but really long) trip.

I did a little embroidering on the way.

We stopped at South of the Border... it was an experience.

While in NC, we had the most delicious lattes and waffles at Jubala. If you are ever, for any reason, in the Raleigh/Wake Forest area you must stop at Jubabla.

Sunday we watched one of my favorite people in the entire world get married. She was such a beautiful bride!

wedding details

It's been a little while since I've posted any wedding pictures and I wanted to share with you some of my favorite details.

All of our center pieces were made by us and some very sweet friends. We made fabric flowers out of various material and vintage sheets. We attached the flowers to sticks and put them in vintage glass bottles.

Ray made leather medals for everyone in the wedding party.

Painted signs

I thought maybe I would do a little more explaining of the pictures on this post. We knew we wanted our pictures to reflect the style of the wedding so rather than it looking like vogue shoot, we wanted the pictures to be casual, fun and sweet.

Here we are on our balcony. The reception took place in our back yard, so it was only natural for us to have photos taken at our house.

This building is about a block from our house and it's one of our favorites.

My ladies wore tea dresses made out of a 1950's pattern with different floral vintage fabrics.

Handsome men.

All of our bouquets were made out of fabric flowers. Shout out to Ms. Vicki who made them all!

One of our best friend's dad made our wedding pound cakes. They were so delicious! You can also see some of the center pieces we made using vintage glass bottles, sticks found in the yard and fabric flowers.

I hope you like them! More to come!

Just a couple of wedding pictures...

Are they awesome! Thank you Augustine Grace Photography. More to come!
