I mentioned this was definitely a DIY wedding and these are the pics that show that! LOL.
Here are two of Ashli's aunts working on the decorations:
Here are the glasses that Ashli engraved at work one day:
Here are the sachets filled with lavender by various friends of the bride and groom:
Here are the programs. A dozen people or more worked on these babies, LOL. Ashli created them and I printed them. And then all kinds of folks started cutting them out, getting them in the correct order and then connecting them with the brads. I would have rather done eyelets but they wouldn't open and close easily and were tearing so we went with brads.
Maid of Honor practicing singing "More" before the wedding
This is a picture of our little singers with their moms practicing their song before the wedding. I like this picture so much because both children are looking at their mom while trying to make sure they've got it right. (Disclaimer, these are both my sisters and the little ones are nieces and nephews so I'm am anything but impartial but I think they did an awesome job! They were singing Natalie Cole's version of LOVE and little Hannah was doing all the flourishes, and it was so cute
)
I've got just a few more pics I'll add tonight but thanks everyone for your compliments and good wishes. I've been hanging around the DIS so long that you guys feel like friends and I'm excited to get to share Ashli's big day with you all.
