Many moons ago, on a full moon, my hubbie and I got married in an urban setting downtown Houston, Texas. Since weddings are my current forte, I thought I would finally share something personal...my wedding. It was a lovely wedding. Great food, drink, and friends.
Typical wedding, it was not, which meant a success for John and I.
It was elegantly laidback with a jazzy bar feel at the reception.
We had wished it had lasted all night.....
So without further adieu.....some of my wedding pictures.
Enjoy!

(P.S. To date me please, these photos weren't taken digitally...
still in film mode 7 years ago. Thank goodness for scanners.)
I was lucky enough to have my dress made, and this is my dressmaker (a friend) who helped me into it on the day of the wedding. So special....
My sweet and petite cluster of lily of the valley with a surprise piece of handmade jewelry from
my friend....what supreme excitement before walking down the aisle.
The jade leaf was for good luck.
Ahh, these floral panels. One of the items I made myself....as I couldn't
let all my friends have all the fun in Pat's studio. These turned out just
as I imagined in my head. Constrained garden with a minimalist approach.
My maids..... such sweet friends. I surprised them with simple clusters of all
white flowers....each carrying a different blossom that I thought matched their personalities and tastes.
James Turrell's Skyspace in the Heights.
Perfection for our wedding space.
Outside meets inside meets art museum.
I loved my cake....it was another surprise. I helped with a few
of the ceremony pieces, but then told all the florists who came in
for my wedding to help with the fleurs...surprise me!
Oh, my professor, Jim Johnson had so much fun with the cake.
If you notice there is copper tubing around the cake and he put
two little miniature apples going through the copper to represent B&G.
How sweet was that....
