{Wedding Week} Parties Galore...


Adam and I have some really special people in our lives who made us feel so special during our engagement and wedding times. They showered us with parties and gifts and we could not be more thankful to them.

{This was after we received our fabulous wedding present- the camera...so few photos were captured by me.}

Here are a few details of our parties:

BBQ shower hosted by The Hardens and {both of} The Manrys
Beautiful mason jar-hydrangea arrangements atop picnic tables covered in red checked table clothes. The perfect setting for an outdoor bbq.
{SUPER CUTE} Monogram Shower hosted by The Whitehursts
These are the yummy cookies and petit fours.
Around the House Shower hosted by The Kings
These were the most ah-mazing cupcakes from a little bakery in Gainesville.
The shower was set up sooo cute and the food delicious.
My Bachelorette Weekend in Seacrest Beach, FL.
So much fun celebrating with a {few} of my bridesmaids. We missed those who couldn't make it. Picture taken at Red Bar.
Our rehearsal was a lot less stressful than the actual wedding.
Little did I know how nervous I would be the next day standing in this exact spot.
My beautiful bridesmaids and best friends. I love these girls.
My beautiful bffs from high school. Both were expecting mamas!
These girls have been with me through thick and thin for many, many years.
And they were obviously fabulous for standing {for what seemed like hours} in heels, preggers!
Our Rehearsal Dinner was hosted by The Flemings at the City Club of Buckhead.
This place was perfectly intimate and classy for this special night. Accompanied by family and friends, we mingled with cocktails, sat down to a delicious meal then laughed {and cried} swapping stories and speeches and watching a touching slide show created by Adam.

Adam's speech brought me {and many others} to tears. He is such a thoughtful and caring person.
And {out of nerves} although I wrote a long speech, I "winged it"... never, never again.
The morning of the wedding was spent celebrating my bridesmaids and all of the women in my life who are sooo important to me. My mom hosted the brunch at Basil's in Buckhead.
My bridesmaids, aunts, cousins and Adam's family members all attended.
My bridesmaids.
My Cousins.
My Aunts {mom's sisters}.
My aunts and Granny {dad's sisters}.
My sister, Molly.
As one of my gifts to my bridesmaids, my mom and I made handmade totes for each of them.
This is one of the 9 that we made. Each design and fabric choices specific to the girls personalities.
Other gifts with handmade flowers.
Handcream and a handmade "milly flower pin" for the favors.
With two very important ladies in my life... my mom and mother-in law.
We are so blessed to have so many amazing people in our lives to make our wedding special.
Thank you to all who were a part of our special engagement and wedding events.
