There are no processed foods, candies, potato chips, no junk food of any kind in our house... really! In fact, one of the greatest joys of going to my best friend's house is poking through the magical cabinet in her kitchen that transports me to another time with Pop Tarts, Doritos, an endless tub of Halloween candy, chocolates - lots of chocolates and my all time favorite: Marshmallows! And not just any marshmallows, but the big fluffy marshmallows - not the teeny tiny ones that we do keep around for the rare occasions we make hot chocolate.
Okay, perhaps there is the occasional tub of vanilla ice cream and chocolate chip cookies, warm chocolate chip cookies and CHOCOLATE. Not just any chocolate though - NIKI'S CHOCOLATE!
There is something about those little white boxes with the freshest, most decadent little bits of sweet heaven! Our favorite: ROCKY ROAD - just something about those fresh soft marshmallows!
We couldn't imagine celebrating our wedding without Nicole Varrenti's of Etsy's nikid.etsy.com's incredible treats!
With whimsical Caramel Apple Pops and Chocolate Covered Coffee Spoons, they were just the special sweet touch of our Handmade Etsy Wedding!
We've all seen it before.
The bright fuschia dress from a guest that somehow appears in EVERY wedding photo!
NOPE, not at OUR wedding!
It took some serious convincing, but after much begging and pleading, Yoda relented and I was thrilled!
A BLACK AND WHITE WEDDING it would be!
My mother was mortified!
"You can't let people wear white to your wedding!"
Of course I could!
My custom made gown was a beautiful ivory and with everyone and everything in black and white, I was certainly the belle of my ball!
The only color throughout the event were signature Red Roses in my bouquet, flowers, and my Red Satin strappy heels!
The theme of the wedding was beautifully set with the calligraphy lettering for our invitation by Jerise Fogel from Etsy's jerise.etsy.com.
I am SO excited to finally get the opportunity to catch up on the last eight months!
Had someone told me eight months ago that we were going to buy a new house in a dreamy historic town, spend six months giving birth to a new kitchen as a DIY project from studs to custom wet bar, get ENGAGED AND BE MARRIED BEFORE THE NEW YEAR, I wouldn't have believed it!
For the next couple of weeks, I am thrilled to walk you through our HANDMADE ETSY WEDDING that we planned in less than 6 weeks for well under $5000 including a custom a Dorana design wedding gown!
