we did a lot of this wedding diy and on the super cheap. my maid of honor marissa and one of our photographers, monica helped me make all the bouquets and boutonnieres. jordan's mum then actually took the time to wrap them all with little trimmings from my various dress fittings so everyone was wearing a part of my dress. so special!
we did our first look in a little botanical garden our in palm springs called moorten. if you are ever out there i would strongly recommend going by for a visit. as well if you're about to get hitched i would totally recommend doing a first look to calm your nerves and the photos from it are just some of my favorite of us.
special love to our groomsmen and bridesmaids. they were so helpful getting so much done and keeping the pacing of things. there's no way any of this wedding could have happened without them (especially my MOH and jordan's BM)!
get ready for the mushy stuff...
our reception was held around the pool and we hoped that people would use it as the night progressed because we got married on one seriously hot day (106 at the time of our ceremony)!! fortunately after tacos, cake, and a little booze people were slipping out of their dinner wear and into their trunks and underdoos! i really don't think i could have asked for a better way to end what was easily the best and most special day yet!
