shaw wedding weekend {fayetteville, ar}

My last wedding post for a while!--sadly!  One of my best friends from HS tied the knot to a beyond fabulous guy on June 21st in Fayetteville, and I was so lucky and thankful to be apart of their wonderful wedding weekend!

I drove up Thursday morning...the bridesmaids that were there went and got their toes and nails done with Anna and her mom!  We had a blast reminiscing and sippin' on champagne!  ;)  That night we enjoyed some mexican food on the patio while enjoying the wonderful weather! 

[FRIDAY]

Friday morning we were UP and at um to run errands!  That including getting the Bride a Starbucks drink!  (Let's just say...the barrista got to know my name by the time the weekend was over!)

Beautiful bride with my new friend Liz at the Bridesmaid Luncheon at Mermaids!--she flew in from Seattle for the wedding weekend!  Sweetheart beyond sweethearts, and so thankful to have gotten to finally meet and hang out with her! 

After rehearsal we had some downtime before dinner started! [LIZ, ME, FIONA]

 Beautiful Bride and handsome Groom!

 Dinner was at Hog Haus on Dickson, which is always fun!  The weather was great--we later went to a roof top bar to enjoy some more company and watch the amazing lightening show that was going on before heading home to get ready for the BIG DAY!

[SATURDAY]

This girl was UP and ready to go bright an early!  A walk around the neighborhood at 6 am, a Starbucks Skinny Vanilla Latte and a few Red Bulls...and she was good to go!! ;) :P 

Bo did such an amazing job on her hair and make-up!  He also made the experience so fun for the rest of us!  Off to the venue! 

Getting ready for the first look!  =)

They were right outside the front doors of the church...doing a little peeking! ;) 

 ...and there they are after their first look!  (I knew I probably wouldn't have time to get another picture of the two of them!)

Aren't they the most beautiful Mother-Daughter duo you've ever seen?!  LOVE them both! 

The table and cake matched her dress! ;) 

Their signature strawberry wine--from a winery they visited when they got engaged!  

This cake was a cookie in a couple different layers!  They served it with milk! ;) 

 Love this! 

Rick's cakes do not need an explanation...sadly right after this picture "FANCY" by Iggy came on...and off to the dance floor I went...never to return.  :(  I didn't even realize I didn't finish my cake until the night was over...sad day, but I guess I was just having too much fun on the dance floor with my friends! ;)  

 This describes the Bride perfectly! 

Father/Daughter dance with SIL/MIL at the same time! 

It was a beautiful wedding weekend spent with life long friends!  I'm so happy for Anna and Robert and the life that they have officially started together!  Sunday morning rolled around...and back home I went!

allison and kyle's wedding weekend!

I have a wedding coming up in two weeks, and figured I should post about the last wedding I was in before the other one took place!  Wedding posts are always so long, so I put them off for too long.  :(

Allison and Kyle got married in January here in town.  It was chilly and rainy...but we pulled through and everything went on as planned without any problems!  The weather is one of those things you just can't control!   

Long weekend ahead...Mama needed SB!

WHO'S READY FOR REHEARSAL?!?  WE ARE!!!

Taking a five minute break before heading to the church for rehearsal!

We all did our thing in the church and then walked over to the fellowship hall for some BBQ!

& we all loved on Miss Saylor!!  Oh my word she was cute and so well behaved!  She is Kyle's niece!

Allison's dad always has a funny story to tell...and this night was no different! :P

On Allison's bachelorette trip to Kansas City--we all had a disposable camera.  This was to make us take it old school, and didn't allow us to look back at our pictures (like you can with digital and your phone) and it didn't allow us to delete one we didn't like!  So...we had some fun with these!  We all decided we wanted to all look at them together the night before the wedding, and that's just what we did!!  HILARIOUS is all I can say!  It was so fun to "relive" that weekend with the girls! :P

Wedding day!  We had breakfast and got ready at Allison's dad's and then headed up to the church for outdoor pictures and such.  Mom brought Ryder up there all dressed up lookin' so handsome for some pictures and to get ready to do his duties as ring bearer!

I just wanted one good picture! :P

But first....let me put some chapstick on! :P

He's just about gotten this ring bearer thing down...this was #3!

I loved their unique "Guest Book".  The two hearts are where they are each from!  I wish I had a picture from when it was all filled up!

Ryder with Addison the flower girl!!!

After the reception...we had our own little after party at Hannah's house with a bunch of old HS friend who were in town for the wedding.  All the BMs wore our leopard print PJs Allison had gotten us!  We got some looks but we didn't care! :P

All of the following pictures are from Lyndsey Sullivan Photography (I would HIGHLY recommend her if you need any type of photography done, but especially wedding!  She was so fun and laid back to work with--and I mean, look at these pictures!!!)

Thanks for a fun weekend Allison and Kyle and THANK YOU for letting me be apart of y'all's special day!!
