Wedding Recap

It isn't often that we post twice in one day, but then again, it's not often you get married either!

So, without further adieu, photos from Katie and Brian's big day, courtesy of the amazingly talented Hillary Maybery and Kristin Cheatwood.

First, the details: the dress, Monique Lhuillier and the shoes Manolo Blahnik. To die! I had a monogram with Katie's new initials and the wedding date made, and then it was sewn inside the skirt of her dress. She is planning on selling the dress (any takers??) so she will be able to keep this as a memento. As for the shoes, I am sure you will be seeing them in upcoming "What I Wore" posts!

Hello gorgeous! Doesn't this remind you of Sex and the City (the movie) when Carrie is modeling the dresses for the Vogue shoot? Work it sister!

Katie and Brian did their reveal prior to the ceremony. Hillary found a beautiful bunch of aspen trees for the photos. Of course the groom had to have a little pop of color as well with these Jack Spade socks!

After the reveal the bridal party met in a field next to the church. We were even surprised by a small snake, which the 2nd photographer, Kristin Cheatwood, was not so excited about! I don't think she will be using this location again anytime soon! The bridesmaid dresses are Alfred Sung and are made of silk dupioni. 

The ceremony was held at the Our Lady of the Snows Catholic church, which our dad actually built. The Mini Fashionista made a grand entrance by running down the aisle towards her "daddy".

Katie and Brian left the ceremony in this fantastic old car and were driven to the base of the River Run where everyone took the gondola to the Round House, a historic lodge on the mountain. 

At the roundhouse we enjoyed cocktails and a fantastic view of the Wood River Valley. 

The reception was held at The Valley Club. Katie planned the flowers, the table linens and all the other details perfectly, including a very cool Jets groom's cake.

After dinner we got down to some serious dancing and "photo boothing"!

Katie and Brian departed under a sea of sparklers, the perfect ending to a perfect day! Now they are enjoying themselves on the beaches of Bali. If I didn't love them, I might hate them just a bit right now!

Going to the Chapel...

And tomorrow Katie is gonna get married! Tomorrow is the big day, and we cannot wait. Today's events include a bridal luncheon, the rehearsal and a rehearsal dinner/party for out of town guests. My hope is to have photos to share with you early next week of the pre-wedding festivities. We will hold out on the wedding until we get the professional photos from Hillary Maybery. To get your anticipation revved up, check out some of these pictures from the weddings Hillary has shot this year.

This was her most recent Sun Valley wedding. The bride is beautiful and it looks like she and her groom have mad dancing skills (something I am most jealous of).

This wedding was one of my all time favorites. You can tell this couple likes to have fun! I wish I could have been a guest at this wedding. 

 

This wedding actually took place in Montana. So picturesque. 

And this one was winter chic at its best. Danielle, the bride, lived just across the golf course from Katie and me growing up. Wasn't she stunning? 

 

We can't wait to share photos from Katie and Dr. B's big day. Enjoy your weekend!

Feature Friday-Hillary Maybery

It's my opinion (and I know I am right on this one) that there is no day when fashion is more important than on your wedding day. I wore Monique Lhuillier...and probably never will again, unless you count the times I put on my dress just to be sure it still fits. Maybe the Mini Fashionista will want to wear it someday...as if!

Anyway, once you have the perfect dress, shoes and accessories you MUST have someone equally as fabulous to capture the moment, enter Hillary Maybery! Hillary is a fantastically talented photographer from my hometown Sun Valley, Idaho. She does an amazing job of capturing every detail of a wedding, from the dress to the decor and the late night dancing.

Hillary also shoots family/baby sessions, and a Mini Session for my Mini Fashionista is at the top of my "I want" list ...even before my coveted Chanel 2.55 handbag. She's THAT Fabulous! Check out these photos of her adorable little girl Presly. I must get to Sun Valley to get my little Mini a mini-sesh ASAP!

For anyone looking for a wedding photographer, check out Hillary's blog and website. You will quickly fall head over heels for her, just like you did for your groom! P.S. Katie, C&C's other half, will gladly plan her someday wedding around Hillary's schedule.
