So I spent the last year and a half planning my wedding.  Which I can’t believe that you spend so much time planning for one day of your life!  It really should be a 4 day event.  So along the way I did quite a bit of research to make sure our wedding day was perfect.

We found the venue for the reception rather quickly at Primrose Cottage in Roswell, Georgia.

We got married at the Log Cabin Church of Vinings Georgia which is almost like a church taken out of the English countryside.

Our photographer was Kelly Cummings of SpindlePhotography.

She took the most AMAZING engagement and wedding photos.  I couldn’t have been happier with the way they turned out!

We chose The Highballs   based out of Athens Georgia to play at our reception.  Seriously the best wedding music I’ve ever heard!  They really got the crowd into it, and it was like you hired all of your favorite bands of all time to come play at your wedding.  Our first dance was to God Only Knows by The Beach Boys and it sounded perfect.  The first dance was better than I could have hoped for and the night only got better!

All in all we were both very happy with everyone who helped us have the best day of our lives!

I have a degree in textile design, so I LOVE all things pattern related.

Enter Lena Corwin.

She made a lovely book a few years back called Printing by Hand which you can buy from her website.

It shows ways that you can design and print your own patterns at home!  She also gives you a copy of all the patterns used throughout the book.  Not to mention her adorable dog Gus makes an appearance in the book.
