redirected energy

Now that our wedding is over, I’ve got lots of time on my hands. I have wondered how I’m going to redirect all of my creative energy. I love projects and love events. Events are my job, so I get a little of that fill at work, but I need to express my creative freedom. Our little house has become a great outlet for me to channel all of this creative energy toward. I love decorating and rearranging. We’re putting the finishing touches on our bedroom and I’m about to get started on the downstairs bathroom. I promise that pictures are coming soon.

All of that said, I’m not abandoning my lifetime obsession with weddings. I’ve collected MS Weddings and InStyle Weddings for 15 years and don’t plan to stop now. I love new ideas and hope to continue planning weddings in the future, so don’t expect all of my wedding-related posts to stop now. I will forever be inspired by a blue cupcake, a pink shoe, and a sweet little piece of jewelry.

I found my favorite picture of my favorite celebrity wedding today. This is Mariska Hargitay’s wedding from a few years ago. She managed to bring in style, elegance, and comfort and have a beautiful event.

Pass the poi. Mahalo.

Our honeymoon was fantastic. We went to Maui and stayed at the Grand Wailea, which I highly recommend, and we would do it all over again. The resort was beautiful and the service was great, though everything came with its price. We even survived the really long flight from Columbia to Atlanta to LA to Maui. That’s a lot of flying, but so worth it!

Todd and I enjoyed the days that we would spend lying by the pool getting our tan (or burn) on, but also enjoyed the few days when we went snorkeling, sailing, and driving the Road to Hana in our convertible Mustang. After the Road to Hana, we came back to those pools and never left!

We are already talking about when we want to go back!

more wedding details

As time has passed since the big day, people have sent their pictures my way, so I wanted to share a few more.

Bridal party before the ceremony– not sure about all of these expressions, but this picture cracks me up. Everyone seems to be doing their own thing.

The cake– it was pink with gold ribbon. I can’t say that I’m loving the color, but it sure did taste good.

wedding continued…

Here are a few pictures of the wedding day. When Kelly posts some on her blog I will add them to mine, but until then these few will have to do.

The bridesmaids and I went to the Spa at West End to have our hair and nails done. I decided to keep all of my hair down, but have it blown out and wavy. It was a great decision. I was really comfortable all day, I felt like myself, and I never got a bad headache from bobby pins.

Here we are after David put the veil on and we couldn’t find how to bustle the veil to get back in the van.

The pink and white candy buffet. Gorgeous! While the bridesmaids and I were having our hair and nails done, my mom and her friend put this together.

Cake cutting and tasting. Yum!
