On August 31st, Lauren and Tim got married.
It was SUCH A GOOD DAY. Awesome weather, no worries, everything went so smoothly. And, an added bonus, by mid afternoon they were husband and wife ;)
I had tonnes of fun planning this day with Lauren. Oddly enough, I put WAY more time and effort into this wedding than I did my own. 8 years ago, there was no pinterest or wedding gawker. Any ideas came from bridal magazines or from other weddings I'd been to. I basically picked my colours and my menu and told the wedding planner to do the rest. I had never seen my bridesmaids bouquets until the day they arrived. I didn't really know what the hall was going to look like. Or the church. The day before my wedding I did ZERO prep work. Interesting, eh?
Anyway, I digress. Here are some photos of some of the bigger things we did. All the photos are from This Moment Forever photography.

Matt designed the menus and printed them at VanPelts. We youtubed a napkin folding video, and viola. A fancy touch. Megan folded all the napkins |

All the hydrangeas came from Tim's mom's garden. Didn't we luck out? We had buckets and buckets of them |
