Nottoway Plantation {Part 2}

Lauren & Justin's Wedding Day: October 13, 2012

{The day began in the bridal suite with hot rollers and makeup, laughter and Frank Sinatra.}

{I was helping the Sowell fam set up the flowers when beautiful Kelsey walked in carrying in the wedding cake she made herself! She did such an amazing job. One of the layers was funfetti! Let me also note that Lauren made the cake topper herself, too.}

Photo time!

{Lauren looked so stunning in her wedding dress. I love her hair pulled to one side with the little veil swept over one eye. Isn't her flower/ribbon perfection? All the bridesmaids and house party wore black- very Audrey Hepburn.}

{Wedding time :)}

You are now pronounced husband and wife. Yay marriage!

I hope you are having a wonderful time on your honeymoon and I pray for a lifetime filled with love and happiness for you both. Love y'all.

Nottoway Plantation {Part 1}

When Ty and I eagerly arrived at Nottoway Plantation, we put our things in the Carriage House and headed out for a self guided walking tour around the property.

After some time spent relaxing in the lounge with pina coladas and Dixie beer {that beer is NOT good, mind you}, we got ready for Lauren and Justin's rehearsal dinner held around the pool on the plantation grounds.

 Following a bbq dinner, speeches, gifts, and a walk-through, we went to Lauren's cottage for a little lingerie shower, champagne toast, and Bridesmaids the movie. Melissa McCarthy is so hilarious she makes it worth the watch. The scene with her real life husband on the plane?! "you feel that steam heat? that`s from my undercarriage."- rolling.


A little game Jenny taught us during the opening of lingerie - wrap each present up in tissue paper and pack it for your honeymoon and have the groom select a gift each night. It's a fun surprise for both of you! I thought that was a neat idea.

 If you are married, what did you do on the night before your wedding?
