A Pink and Burlap Budget Friendly Wedding...

We were honored to be invited to a friend's wedding this past weekend.  

It blessed me to see the simple beauty in this wedding....  

all without breaking the bank.  (Here's hoping the bride will not take offense!)  

But it truly was 'simply' - beeeuuutiful! 

Before entering the church gym 'reception hall' - 

we were greeted with this wonderful birch log display 

which gave our seating assignments...

 

Self-serve and tasty appetizers were offered while we waited 

for the reception to begin...

 Loved the table settings...

Yep - we were table #13.  

(Don't worry - I'm not the least bit superstitious.)

 The favors at each place setting were these sweet jars 

of apple butter - 'Jam packed with love'...

A twine and clothespin photo display above the gift table...

Our gift was the basket on the floor on the left.   

I enjoy making the container part of the gift... 

makes for simple and attractive wrapping.

And of course, a few parting shots of the handsome couple.

Signing the marriage certificate...

And posing just for me...

Love, loved her handmade dress...
(The gym was a bit chilly - so the sweater was a nice 'after the ceremony' wrap.)

The Lord bless your marriage my friends!  I know you'll choose to be

faithful to Him and each other... in good times and bad.  Love you!
