Gah, isn't pinterest amazing? Remember when you liked something on the internet and you would save an image, but never remember the source... or lose it in the seas of your bookmarks! Seriously. I love this site.

Our Reception - special touches

This Christmas, Ben and I are finally going back home to Pittsburgh. The first time back since our Wedding (August 2010). It's crazy how time flies - and to think that I haven't seen my parents in almost a year and a half (even more crazy!).

So I thought I would relive our wedding just a little bit while I wallow in my homesickness!

These were some of the special DIY touches we included in our wedding -

ribbon, signs, diy flowers and photobooth, and homemade touches made our reception special

Oh! and we contacted our caterer from the wedding and asked if we could pick up some wedding pies for the holiday. We loved them so much but weren't able to take any back to Seattle, so this will be a real treat. If you need food or event planning in western PA, I highly recommend Rick at JPCevents.

Table Numbers: Nerdy Baby flash cards

Groom Style

Grooms and groomsmen.. and their style!

I've always been a big fan of classic suit colors and bright, fun accents (ties! suspenders!).

Included a picture from our wedding.

Our guys were just so well dressed :)
