Before the afternoon...
We spent the morning with my daughters wedding dress. The train of her dress reminded me of perfect whipped cream, with a bit of appliqued lace. Bits of the bodice reminded us of fragile phyllo dough. It had a row of buttons up the back that neither of us remembered. It is just a fantastic dress.
We arrived home to a flourish of helpful friends and a wonderful husband. All things were in place by 12:55 and guests started to arrive promptly at 1.
With lunch prepared the men took off to a near by brew pub.
A house filled with what a house loves to be filled with-
love and laughter.
She glowed while receiving enough books to start a small library.
Each book inscribed and circling her with good words and love.

This celebration allowed many people the opportunity to bless a young woman as she moves toward a new place. I am grateful to everyone for their love and their help.
I was able to even find small heart for my other blog-
(Our Wild Hearts)

What a lovely post. She should be glad she has a mother that takes such wonderful fotos:) I think I see some of your gorgeous paper flowers on the one table. They look so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you described your daughter's dress, Teri. It sounds almost a bit too edible! lol Beautiful photography as always. :) Congratulations to your daughter and also to you for being the best mom for her! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your well wishes about my recent publication and for stopping by my blog! I need to go back to it as I've been writing in a paper journal instead (which I haven't done for years, but it feels great writing instead of typing!). :)
Definitely a day you will both remember ~ everything glows even in the pictures. Thank you for letting us get a glimpse of the day:)
