Stephanie & Justin Hitched!

On a little Farm in North Bend, Washington, Stephanie and Justin tied the knot. Their wedding was full of DIY, vintage, and unexpected activities. The couple hired Molly Moon ice cream truck to come out for cocktail hour! They also had lawn games, paper airplanes for their seating chart, and party poppers!
Take a look at their adorable wedding.

Heather & Jeremy Hitched!

Vintage elegance was the theme for Heather & Jeremy's country wedding, held at the Wine & Roses Country Estate in Auburn Washington. It was HOT. They were so lucky to have such a beautiful day, especially when two days later it rained. My favorite part was then the minister said "Now Jeremy, you can back out, you don't have to get married." With that Jeremy replied, "Are you looking at what I'm looking at?"
Awwww how cute.

Babies...

For those of you that don't know, Katrina is pregnant! Now the whole world knows.
We won't know the sex till August 7th when we have a "Guess the baby's sex" BBQ. Anything to have a party! Can't you see how much we need a venue?
Anyways, from time to time we will be posting about babies.
I guess you could say this blog will 'evolve' over time.
Yes it's about weddings, but also parties, events, and everything else we Love.

I (Caity, who writes most all posts) have been looking around at DIY items for the baby. Hers now, and mine in the future. Came across these DIY mobiles. I am in love. I want to do a combination of the first and the second one. Using those little birds you can get at the craft store.

A floating branch!


Use Pom-poms and fishing wire

Yarn. Simple.

Love the shadow it casts
These could also be used for weddings as decorations. See, everything comes back to the wedding world!
