Cake

 

We had a simple three tiered cake from Noida Cooke and loved it.

 

 

We did the cake cutting early and right after partied the night away...

You're planning thread looks great! love how everything blends together & your ring bearer's outfit is adorable Did you buy your maid of honor/bridesmaid tank tops or did you DIY? I can't find iron on's anywhere and I'd rather do it myself.

BD Book:

 

I did a shoot and made Omar a little black book on mixbook.com and had it delivered to him the day of the wedding. He went nuts!

 

 

Guestbook:

 

Also from mixbook.com. I'm so happy with how it turned out. Sorry for the super-small preview. I got it from the site.

 

 

TTD:

The day after the wedding we got all dressed up again and did a TTD.

Pre-Jamaica Events:

 

Couples shower / send off party

 

Our moms hosted a couples shower / send off party so we could celebrate with our friends and family before we leave. This was a great way for everyone to feel like they were a part of our day, even if they weren't making the trip to Jamaica with us. Everyone had a blast!

Here are just a few shots. First one is of us with our moms:

 

 

 

Bachelorette:

 

My fabulous best friend/maid of honor Stephanie planned the best bachelorette I've ever been to! My best girls took me on an NYC cruise in May and I had the time of my life!

Engagement Pics

 

I almost forgot these. We did two sessions. One over the summer and one in the winter. Here are just a few from each. Can you tell we love our puppy? LOL

 

 

 

I think that's all I got for now. I'll probably think of a million other things and keep posting.

Thanks! The tanks were DIY as well. I got the iron on's from Jo-Anns. I have some that I bought from Michaels that I didn't use if you want those. I have 4 bridesmaids and 1 maid of honor.
