With Christmas and Thanksgiving now in the books, I am finally finding a little time to post my sister's wedding. It was a beautiful event from start to finish and I am still amazed at how every little detail that she envisioned came together on the big day.

For the pie table.
Adorable "Ring BEARer" shirt designed by my sister for my son. He had a great pre-wedding nap in it.
The boys. One of the groomsmen gifts were these suspenders custom embroidered with the guys' initials.
The girls. We received these beautiful robes as bridesmaids gifts.
The bride. Her dress is from Blhdn (no longer available) but she added lace from my mother's wedding gown to the neckline to make it extra special.
The veil was a custom piece which also included my mother's wedding dress lace. I love this idea and think this veil will become a heirloom piece.

The flower girls' wreaths were custom made by my grandmother (their great-grandmother).
The ceremony was held in front of a stone wall. The slightly sloping hill helped ensure all witnesses had a great view (of the ceremony and the beautiful landscape).
The gorgeous arbor was handmade by the groom's father and sister. It was draped with seeded eucalyptus. | Barefoot Gardens

The couple drove off in an old car (it was a Plymouth maybe, sorry not a car expert at all).

First dance to "Offering" by The Avett Brothers
Remember that marquee sign?!
My mom constructed this light setup so that we could dance under the stars.

Seeded eucalyptus marked the head table.
Another adorable idea; the couple asked guests to sign an Eldridge's Map of Martha's Vineyard instead of a traditional guest book. Mike and I signed at the East Chop Beach Club of course!

Although the bride was initially panicked that the fireworks would cause the police to shut down the party prematurely, it was a beautiful display that she and everyone greatly enjoyed.
This post is dedicated to my little sister, one of my very best friends, and someone that I look up to most in this world. You are beautiful inside and out and I am so happy that you found someone that appreciates you as such. Congrats to Lindsay and Aaron and many, many years of love and luck to both of you! And, oh yeah, your wedding was amazing!
