THE day :)

We got married! :) :)
I know everyone got that already, but how incredible is this?! :D :D




This was my bouquet...:) Isn't it pretty?! :D




Our photographer was Josef. He takes amazing pictures and is super nice. :) I know him from schooldays back in Cologne. But we didn't book him because I know him, we booked him because of the gorgeous pictures he takes. :D Check out his website for further information. ;)

In this post I want to show you the person-related things I made...so let's begin...:)

I made one white and four yellow boutonnières for the groom, the best man and the groomsmen.



I sewed six clutches for me, my maid of honor and the bridesmaids...


...and courtages for my maid of honor and the bridesmaids. I included a little piece of my wedding dress lace into the courtages. :D


And last but not least I sewed a black bow tie for the groom and a yellow one for our little ring bearer (unfortunatelly I don't have a good picture of that. :( )



And as I continuously receive questions about the material I used in my wedding invitations, I thought about mentioning this briefly in this post.

I got the kraft card board from the shop stempelmeer. I searched a lot in the internet and I think everyone in Germany will agree that it is so much harder to get good material here compared to America. ;) I decided to use this card board, as I just had to cut it in halves to have the perfect size for one invitation.

What I didn't like about the card board was the fact that the front and the back have different colors. While the front has the typical brownish kraft colour I love, the back looks more greyish and dirty. :( See?



At the beginning I was a little sad about it, but I decided to use it anyway and I didn't regret it. :)

So, in the next post I'm going to show you our beautiful location with our hand-made decoration. :)
Wish you all a lovely evening! :)
