My Sister Got Hitched

So, I've been making paper flowers on and off for a couple of weeks now. Why would I spend hours of my free time discussing chevron and gluing? For my sister and only for her. She got married and our hours of work were on display in the middle of all the tables at her wedding. We put together beautiful bouquets of hand crafter paper flowers mixed with beautiful fresh flowers Friday until it was time for the rehearsal. Once they were put together and we left for the rehearsal dinner we had to trust that the next time we saw them they would be perfectly placed around the room.
The next morning bright and early over a bag of potato chips we got beautified for Kait to walk down the aisle.

Pre-Aisle SmileAfter we were clothed, hair frozen in place and every eye lash in place we made our way to the wedding location. It was held in Springbank Alberta at Matthews' dads place. We were a little worried because the wedding and reception were outside and it was raining but we had to wait. We took the wedding party pictures on the property and hid in the trees in between pictures. It worked out perfectly and don't they say that those cloudy days are the best for photographers? After pictures guests started to arrive and so we went into hiding.
We spent the time listening to people make their way into the right area and waiting for a break with the weather. As soon as the rain lightened up everyone gathered around the alter and it was time.
The ceremony was perfect and the rain help up right until the newly weds first kiss as Mr and Mrs Kliewer. They got to walk back the way they came under umbrellas and finish up some pictures before gathering under the tents for the reception. It was so beautiful with all the flowers, lights and decorations. I wish I had pictures of it all but I thought that would look trashy to start taking picture from the head table and so I only have a few that I was able to sneak.
Everyone gave amazing speeches (myself included), the food was incredibly delicious and Kait & Matthew looked so happy. Perfection.
