Flowers
The flowers and centerpieces were a few of the many DIY projects we made for the wedding. I saw these types of flowers when I was trying to come up with alternatives for real floral arrangements. We made the origami flowers out of pages from our favourite books.
Attire
My wedding dress was a tea length all over lace dress. I knew I wanted something fun and something that reflected me and this was perfect. Richard wanted more of a military inspired outfit which we ended up getting off of EBay and Gentlemen’s Emporium.
Ceremony
We wanted a very simple ceremony that reflected us. I think the whole thing was 15 minutes long. I walked down the aisle with my sister to Hoppípolla by Sigur Ros. (That’s where I got the name for this blog.) Richard’s dad read a short story titled The Day the Saucers Came by Neil Gaiman. It got quite a few laughs.
We decided to have a photobooth which was one of the best ideas we came up with. Some of the funniest photos came from here.
Dancing and Party
My favourite moment from the Reception is when my brother Matthew and my Best Friend Hillary decided to have a dance off to the song Sail by AWOLNATION.
Formal Photos
Here are some formal shots of us. Little fun trivia for you…all formal photos were taken three weeks before the actual wedding. BEST DECISION EVER. And it meant I got to wear my dress twice.
