kara's wedding, part II

here are the final pictures of sister kara's beautiful day. i'll include commentary on this scrapbook post because... well... i want to. (kara! come back from your honeymoon already!)

hair: kathy hill (mom)
makeup: natalie hill (sister)
dress: maggie sottero
bride's shoes: badgley mischka
groom's shoes: ferragamo
flowers: sweetbriar cove (aunts & cousins)
catering: culinary crafts
venue: marriage in slc lds temple, party at private residence
cake: julie hill from layers cake





we're so lucky for dad's health -he looks wonderful! kara's bouquet was tied with her point shoe ribbons.
kara inherited a couple hundred sweet nieces and nephews who all follow her around like a disney princess. dreams really do come true.
honorary flower girl cousins & new mil/fil
crepes & cokes served; the blending of two families: we prefer diet coke; they like it straight.
russ & kara; beautiful (and tasty) wedding cake.

the grooms cake is a bleedin' armadillo -our amazing friend annie made it for them and her mother sharon made it for us at our wedding too.

natalie and i gave kara these vintage-then-stamped mr. & mrs. forks.
sisters nina & natalie.
kara's new nephew
go kath. sing it, woman.

    Hi, I am one of Natalie's blends. Just wanted to say I'm so happy your dad was able to be there...what a miracle that is.

    Also, did her bridesmaids sign the bottom of her shoes? That's so cool...I have never seen/heard of that before.

    Is her new hubby related to the former prophet?

    I would LOVE to hear where you got the forks/how you made them. I have a best friend getting married shortly and I would just LOVE to steal that idea for her wedding. Thanks!

    Hello,
    A client wrote me today about seeing the Mr. & Mrs. forks on your blog. Thank you so much for the kind mention of my etsy shop and your photograph of them is lovely. I especially liked seeing them in use! I keep hoping a bride will send me a photo.

    Sincerely,
    Rita
