Amy & Levi's Wedding 4-12-14


I have known Amy for over 7 years now and Levi around 9 years. Before I post any photos of their BIG day, I have to tell you how I met Amy. Levi is my husband's cousin and they were roommates when we were all in college. Eventually my husband and I moved in together and RIGHT NEXT DOOR to Amy. Little did we know that Amy and Levi had already met. Levi finally mentioned to us that he met this girl named Amy and showed us what she looked like on Myspace...yes Myspace! After we decided that she was cute, we realized that she was our next door neighbor. PERFECT!! Now we just had to set up a meeting. We just happened to be having a BBQ at our house and Amy just happened to be sitting outside on her doorstep reading, so my husband made his way across the street and invited her over. She accepted the invite and the rest is history. I am so blessed to get to be a part of their special day. They chose Emerald Valley Event Center which was perfect for them. In fact, everything was perfect about that day down to the weather, which was sunny and just right. We all know that the weather in this area in April is not always like that.
Upon entering Emerald Valley, Amy & Levi chose a photo album filled with photos and memories of their relationship. People were able to sign their names and leave a little note or piece of advice.


Across from the guestbook was a wine barrel table with a keepsake candle for the wedding attendants.


Amy & Levi didn't register for gifts, so the two rustic baskets with the custom made burlap "cards" banner worked perfect!


Because Daddy was in the wedding party, I settled for this cutie to help me decorate. He needed to keep an eye on the cupcakes he told me.


I displayed the cupcakes on our vintage soda crates that added some height to the table top on top of the wine barrels. There was a cute little sign to label the different kinds of cupcakes.


The bride & groom's cake was displayed on one of our custom made cake plates.

The cupcake table was made up of our vintage 3 door back drop and chandelier, wine barrels, custom made cake plates, as well as vintage soda crates.

 Amy was hoping to have a sweetheart table for just her and Levi to enjoy some time together. She wanted something elegant and romantic. I think it turned out just right! We even displayed the "knot" that they tied during their ceremony.
Amy & Levi officially "tied the knot"!!

Our rustic handmade "mr" and "mrs" signs added the perfect touch to the bride and groom's chairs.

Amy chose mint and coral with accents of burlap and lace and gorgeous spring flowers for her tables.


After the ceremony, the venue had to make some quick changes to the room for it to be reception ready. They asked everyone to go to the front of the building where they could enjoy a cold beverage, the photobooth, or the POPCORN BAR.

Our popcorn bar display

There were several kinds of popcorn...

...and many kinds of toppings including my fav...M&M's.


Last but not least, I need to include a photo of the stunning bride and her new man who didn't look so bad himself...


These two make the perfect couple and had the perfect wedding. I can't wait to see what life has in store for them...BABIES maybe?? Who knows...but I do wish them all the best in life!!
