Reception...past due

These pictures are much past due. It took a while to get the pictures from my sister but eventually I got  them. I loved my reception...both of them. I had one in Utah and one in Arizona. It was really fun coming up with the ideas for it and to decorate and get it ready. There was definitely a lot to do for it. I am glad my family and family in laws were both there are were helping out.

 

Here are some pictures of the reception :)

 

Down below is what Cody and I stood in front of. Genius idea from my mom. She is so talented.

 



Another genius idea from my mom was the cake. The bottom two layers were made of styrophome (sp?). That saved a lot of wasted cake since there was already a very sugary dessert. I was very happy with the way it turned out. 

These are two tables filled with sugar! We have pumpkin cake, white chocolate popcorn bags for people to take home on one table. The next table we have...



Hot chocolate, marshmallows, pirouettes, candy canes, caramel, caramel apple suckers, whipped cream, creamer, chocolate mints, peanut butter cups, and that's about it. LOTS OF SUGAR! haha. I was really proud of this idea. My aunt Emily came up with the idea of how to serve everything. You take a vase and spray paint it white and then get a glass bowl to go on top of the vase. You glue them together and you have a cute display. :) Its fun to be creative with it. We got most of our things from the dollar store of thrift stores. Actually everything was from there. Very cheap idea. 

 

Lights were strung up. I loved the idea of it. It made it more of a romantic feeling. I didn't really feel like I was in a church building. You can't tell too well, maybe you can see from other pictures, but there were paper snowflakes hung up everywhere. Let me tell you. Those were a long process. My mother in law and I did a lot of them. It took quite a while to put together. They were very pretty though.

 

One of my very favorite pictures. I don't remember it being taken. I think Tori sneaked up behind us to take the picture. 

 

Pictures of some family.

 

I think this picture below is so cute. :) 

Cake cutting. I couldn't decided if I was going to be nice or not but I ended up being nice. My husband better appreciate that. 

 

 

And then we left for a good honeymoon. Our car was decorated with balloons streamers and inside lots of shredded paper. I found shredded paper even 6 months after that day. It was everywhere!
