Lisa's Wedding

My sister Lisa got married this past weekend and it went wonderfully and I'm glad it's over.  For starters she was only engaged for 5 weeks which meant things have been crazy.  I know I'm obviously not the bride BUT I am the creative older sister so I was booked for flowers, centerpieces and niece/nephew attire.  It turns out I was to be the photographer for the reception and Eric took their wedding pictures.  Without us I think this wedding might have been different! :)  Needless to say this preggo is a bit tired.  (Eric is also gone to Costa Rica for 9 days so my poor kids have a tired, grouchy, "single" mom to deal with!)  I have to post some pictures of the stuff I created just because I feel like bragging for a minute.  It seems I'm always making things but never seem to get it posted to the blog and I'm never keeping it for myself so here is my chance to show off a bit I suppose.

Anyway, I'm excited for Lisa and Coulter.  They look great together and this is a fun time for them.  They have a bright future ahead because it started in the right place.  Congratulations you two!

These are the centerpieces I did.  There was a 4th - goldfish in a bowl but that wasn't my idea so I won't take credit.  

  My mom made all the orange skirts for all the cute sisters but they are holding my bouquets. :)  Cora is holding Lisa's bouquet as well as modeling the skirts and clips I made.

So the kids are not all necessarily happy to be getting their picture taken but it has all the nieces and nephews (that were there) and the skirts, headbands, hair clips and bow ties I got to make.  Aren't they so cute!?  It was a bit hot in the sunshine and these guys had been waiting outside the temple during the wedding so I think I'd be about done myself as well!















Here is the happy couple.  I'm trying to do this quick so there are lots more great pictures of them but here we see the bride & groom and what am I trying to show off?  Their flowers! :)

Kids - Mine are the 2 biggest girls and the sad little boy in front. Nate's are the baby in Lisa's arms and the little blonde girl on the left. Coulter's 2 sisters are the other kiddos. Ellen's are the other 2 boys in bow ties and the cute girl baby on the left (love that girls thighs!) Colene's is the cute baby girl on the right. They are not all Boyce kids but there is a lot of blonde there!

Holy cats! I am so amazed at all you were able to accomplish in just 5 weeks! I can't believe everyone was so matchy. How fun! You are so impressive!

She looks gorgeous! The centerpieces, skirts, flowers, bowties are all great of course! I love the pic of your kids at the top of the blog although I realize that it is probably not quite what they look like now since your girl has Christmas tights on. :)
