Hi everyone! Once again I have been a major slacker when it comes to keeping up with my PJ. Well we are married and had the most amazing wedding and disneymoon!! I have lots of photos to post, still waiting on our pro shots and photopass CD. Thanks to anyone who followed along, I've loved being a part of the these boards, only wish I had more time to post and see what everyone else is up to!

I'm still reading! Do you have any sneak peaks at wedding pics for us?

 

[nickandlarisa]

So, lots of updates and pictures of the big day and our amazing trip that followed, but first here are a few more pics of the invitation package ...

I'm still reading! Do you have any sneak peaks at wedding pics for us?

Absolutely! I'm glad someone is still interested! Here are just a few from friends and family, hoping to have the pro shots soon ...

Catholic Ceremony at an historic church in Maryland

Its not Cinderella's carriage but I sure felt like a princess!!

First dance to Etta James "At Last" - we've been together for 9 years!

One of the highlights of the reception was the entertainment. My family heritage is Ukrainian, so we had Ukrainian folk dancers perform. All of our guests were so surprised and excited.

I will post some more soon, also some great honeymoon pics to come!

The bridal party.

My lovely maid and matron of honor. All of the girls had parasols in shades of pink and purple.

The table setting. I made all of the place cards, menu cards, table name signs. The tables were all named after make-believe places. I also made the centerpieces, I think I posted awhile back about what the parts looked like before I painted the base and put it all together.

The favors were wooden roses. I made the tags, too! We also had a candy buffet as an additional favor. The place cards each read something like:
Mr. & Mrs. So and So
adventure awaits in
Turtuga

(for some of the places I had enchantment or magic awaits)

Our sweetheart table.

Thanks, my mom made all 9 of the bridesmaids dresses! She's not a seamstress but is crafty like me!

I love the candle holders and the tables setup in general. Very whimsical.

Larisa!! Where do I start? You were beautiful, the day was beautiful, those dresses your mum made were beautiful, in general - gorgeous! (Bet you were expecting beautiful huh?? lol)

Can't wait to see more pictures!!

Love the pictures, your wedding looked beautiful! I have to agree I love the BM dresses, the color is gorgeous. Your designs are awesome.

Wow everything looks fantastic! You looked so beautiful and happy! Loved the BM dresses, I can't believe your mom made them! Amazing!

I also loved all the little touches you did for your reception and I love the table names, with the "adventure awaits in"...just awesome!

Looking forward to hearing more!

You all are so kind, I'm glad you liked the pics I have up so far. We just got our photopass CD in the mail, so here is the best of those pics! I preordered the CD and I think it was totally worth it. Since we knew all the pics would be included, we went a little crazy hunting down photopass photographers!! I enhanced a few with borders and stuff, and we had 143 photos!!!

Hey Larisa! I'd been thinking about you a few weeks ago and hoped you had a beautiful wedding day(which clearly you did!)! Congratulations to you and your new hubby.

 

[Bridora]

Aw, Larisa! All your pictures are beautiful! I just checked back and caught all up since your wedding. It looks like you guys had an amazing time! Can't wait to hear more about it!

Everything has turned out just gorgeous! I love your wedding colors, the invites, the centerpieces, and your pics. It looked like everything was just magical. I hope that you have a magical married life too!

Congratulations!

Thanks so much! Everything was MAGICAL and we couldn't be happier!! Getting our proof book from our photographer on Thursday, yay! Just got some more photos from some family members, including a good one of the cake, I will get those up soon. Also, we have a TON of photos from the honeymoon we took ourselves. Stay tuned ....
