Real Wedding Inspiration {Rory & Nick}

As I mentioned before, my friend Rory got married last weekend in a beautiful hotel in downtown Staunton.  I just wanted to share a few pictures of the weekend with you, and show off all the hard work she put into creating such a beautiful night.  It was like a whirlwind, here and gone before you could even snap a photograph!

The reception venue Rory chose had vintage exposed brick, beautiful wooden floors, and high ceilings.  Here a few images of the room the day before when we were setting up.

We wrapped white twinkle lights around the upstairs banister to make the upstairs seem warm and inviting.

Rory found the neatest little white chinese lanterns that we strung around the first floor ceiling.

Her centerpieces were contemporary glass vases filled with pebbles, with a lily and floating candle on top.  And remember the post about table number inspiration?  She found inexpensive, chic frames and made her own table numbers using the same font used on her invitations.  They turned out so beautiful.

Here's the bride with her sister/maid of honor while they were getting ready.

And here's the wedding party with the happy couple at the church after the ceremony. Rory chose pink and sage green for her colors.  The bright lilies and roses just popped next to the green.

She was stunning in her dress.  This is the couple during the first dance.

And the couple with Jackie!  She was a match maker and she didn't even know it!

It was such a beautiful night...everyone had such a good time and everyone loved the colors, the flowers, the cake, the music, the dancing, everything!
