Summertime Part 5: Anniversary

Despite my lack of photographical evidence on this site, I really did get married last September (09/09/09 to be exact). We celebrated our 1st anniversary and had a wonderful day together. We both took off work and just puttered around the city eating and stopping by interesting places.

We got married at Historic Locust Grove in Louisville, KY. It was a beautiful and perfect location. We made a stop by after brunch to take a walk around the grounds and took this pic of ourselves. Not bad for an iPhone!

I never did share any wedding pics so now's a good a time as any, right? All the photos below were taken by Jessica Powell of Vogue Visions Photography. She did a ridiculously amazing job and I still get all caught up in looking at them. She also has a blog post up of some more of our photos if you're just dying to see more :)

 This is the porch we got married on - The sun was setting and the sky was blue...perfection

 With my Mama and Daddy

 We're standing in the same spot as the pic we took our our anniversary...just facing the opposite direction.

 This pic cracks me up b/c Al's making some smart-a$$ comment to me through gritted teeth.

 Both of Al's parents have passed away so we had a candle in their memory.

 Isn't my Mama pretty?! This is one of my favorite pictures.

And now for the official "outfit" breakdown :)

Dress: J. Crew Sophia in Champagne

Sash: Ebay

blue brooch: QVC

necklace: QVC

bracelets: One from my Mama and one was Al's mom's

shoes: Christian Louboutin

I decided to "blow my wad" on accessories and not my dress. I figure I'll get WAY more mileage out of shoes and jewelry than I would a dress.

The brooch is WAY prettier in person. The QVC pic is just ugly compared to how sparkly and dynamic it really is.

The cuff is my Mama's. I bought it for her when I went to Australia and the other bracelet was Al's mom's. His sister gave it to me the week of the wedding. Together they were perfect with what I had in mind.

You can see my necklace a little better here. I made my bouquet myself from flowers from Kroger. Not bad for $35, huh?

And that's it!! I have tons and tons more of pics, but no one wants to look at that many :)
