The Location

Our church is very small and we meet in a Christian School, so we don't have a "church" to get married in. I wanted to find something very quaint and intimate and not spend a fortune. We found the Colleyville Nature Center, in Colleyville, TX. They have an amphitheatre outdoors that is perfect. Even better---it is FREE. Totally FREE! All I have to do is make sure it is clean when we leave :D

This is the bridge you cross over to get to the amphitheatre.


This is the "alter" area up front. I'm looking for some sort of arch, pedestals, or something to use up here with flowers or something....


This is the view from the front alter looking out into where the audience is. By November this should be in fall yellows and oranges.


These last two are views to the left, then to the right of the center aisle standing at the alter looking back towards the audience.

The Flowers

I made my bouquet with silk hydrangeas and roses and baby's breath. Since we're getting married on Veteran's Day, I wanted a red/white/blue color scheme. (well actually more like crimson, off-white, and Air Force Blue). Total cost of the bouquet:
Hydrangeas (2) @ 7.99 each
Roses (1 stem) @ 3.99 each
baby's breath (1 stem) @ 2.99 each

Ribbon--
Red wide ribbon- 50 yards @ 7.99 for spool
Ivory ribbon- 100 yards @ 5.99 for spool
Blue ribbon - 5 yards @ 3.99 for spool

Floral Wire-.25 per package

all purchased at Garden Ridge

The Dress

Purchased in March at David's Bridal. I got a steal on this one. Originally $799, I got it for 300. That included the slip, bra, and a blusher add-on for my veil. This picture is white, but my dress is champagne in color

We're getting married!!

I figured this is the best place and way to keep up with all the wedding plans, especially since time is of SHORT supply!
