Natalie & Brandon Connolly: 2011

Brandon's sister Kayli got married yesterday. Although my parents are away on a mission, they of course we more than happy to let us have the reception in their backyard and use MANY MANY items from their home to make this party awesome. The theme was a vintage/shabby chic style. We included lots of twinkle lights, lamps, kerr jars with candles and flowers everywhere, candle chandeliers, picture frames, trunks, lace/crocheted items, various fabrics and fun collectables. Thanks so so much to all those family members and friends who lent items, time and talents to make this night so beautiful.

Moments like these just melt my heart!!

Kim, Hailey and Emmy darling as ever!

The tent...would you guess this tent has been spotting on the beaches of Carlsbad and possibly during many campouts and "Mountain Man Rondezvous" events? You may not be able to see but Brandon found these darling candle chandeliers that we hung throughout the tent and under the swingset/gift area...definitely my favorite part
of the decor.
