The Allen Wedding-Part 5-The Reception Details

Well here it is . . . the final post for my wedding.
Sorry for the overload on pictures, but hoping you can gather inspiration and/or appreciate the details.
I am very passionate at what I do and just want to share the details on what made my wedding day extra special. 
As favors, guests were given mugs that had chalkboard labels.  Each person had a cup.  Attached to the handle was the table number.  It doubled as my seating chart as well.   I attached the table number using assorted fabrics, ribbons, and strings from other wedding decor. 
I love succulents and knew from day one of our engagement that I wanted succulents in my bouquet.  It was something different and that you don't see in every bouquet.  I absolutely loved my bouquet!  In lieu of a wedding cake, since the hubby doesn't like cake, we had a succulent cake on the cake table.  We then shared Klondike bars for dessert.  Plated ones were served to our guests.
The centerpieces were reclaimed 4x4's that had holes drilled into them.  Inside the holes were assorted succulents and flowers. Also on the table were books (which can be seen on the above picture at the left).  Each table had a different question.  It has been fun to read the responses.
I love the picture below.  Trevor and I got to step away for a minute while the party continued during the reception.  We spent a couple of minutes on the beach sharing the bliss of the day and watching our guests enjoy themselves.  I changed into a more dance worthy and fun outfit.  The lower half of my dress detached and created a cocktail dress.  I then put on my comfy high tops and a colorful necklace and was ready to dance the night away.

The Allen Wedding- Part 4- The Ceremony

I married the man I love barefoot on the sand.  Just what I had dreamed of as a little girl.
Did I mention we made the aisle!?  Sarah, the other half of the duo, and I put together old reclaimed pieces of white and blue wood to make the aisle.  It was a beautiful accent against the sand.  Who said girls can't use power tools?  Check back later to see it as a rental. Enjoy!


The chairs reserved for family were personalized with individual pillows that my mother and I made.
All the guests were given bubbles to celebrate!

The Allen Wedding- Part 2- Breaking Traditions


We did it.
We broke traditions.
Personally, I wanted that special moment of seeing each other for the first time to be just Trevor and I. That way we were both able to show our emotions without everyone staring at us.
The third picture speaks for itself. Pure bliss.

Trevor was waiting for me at a private location overlooking the ocean with a white rose (my favorite) in his hand. It was nice to share a couple of precious minutes alone to think about this day was really about and to be ourselves.
