My Favorite Things: Wedding Edition

On August 1st, last year, I married my husband, my best friend and the man of my dreams.  I can't believe it has already been a whole year.  Time has just flown by, but it has been one great year and I can't wait for many, many more to come.  

In honor of Brian and my first anniversary, I thought I would share some of my favorite things about our wedding.  After a whole year of planning it was amazing to see it all come together, but there were a few little details that stuck out to me that I loved.  I feel so blessed to have such wonderful memories, there are just so many, but these are just a few that I thought I would share!

My Favorite Things:

My sister and my bouquets!  They turned out just perfect!  I saw a picture of this in a really old bridal magazine and fell in love.  I just was head-over-heels for how it looks like one huge rose.  The concept went perfectly with my classic, elegant feel I wanted for my wedding day.

My Mom and Sis.  They are amazing and were especially wonderful on my wedding day.  I don't know how it would have been half-way as great if it wasn't for their help and support!  They thought of things I didn't even think of and were there for me through every little bump along the way.

My cute daddy!  How handsome is his tux?!  Only my father would have his tux handmade in Italy and shipped to him for the wedding.  I loved that it was just me and my immediate family in the room when I was getting ready.  It made for such a special memory and allowed me to focus on every moment without any distractions.  My dad is always the one who keeps things in perspective and remembered my "something blue"!

Our Rabbi.  The man who really brought the whole day together and made it incredibly special!

Our Sweetheart Table.  It was exquisite and I was so impressed when I was sitting there at 
just how gorgeous it turned out thanks to our florist!

My father standing up on the chair during the hora!  Who does this!?  Love this picture!

My Sister's Maid of Honor Speech.  It was priceless and perfect in every way.  No other speech I have ever heard at a wedding compares.  Thank you Lizzy for making it so special!

My Wedding Planner (aka my Sister-in-Law).  The woman who made it all come to life and allowed me to be cool, calm and somewhat collected!

The whole wedding (Grandmother's included) taking a shot together!

Last, but certainly not least, my husband.  I wake up every morning and think to myself how grateful I am to just know him.  I feel like the luckiest woman to be married to him and feel so 
blessed to be so blissfully happy!  

Happy August 1st and Monday to everyone and I hope you all have a great week!
