My maid of honor wore a chocolate dress while the bridesmaids wore burnt orange with a chocolate belt. All of the dresses tied in with mine by having a rouched bottom.

24 hours before the wedding, we had a centerpiece disaster and weren't able to use the centerpieces we originally bought. We had to go for a cheap and quick fix so we sat different fall colored candles in bowls filled with coffee beans. It looked GORGEOUS and the entire lodge smelled so yummy when we walked in.

Our cake was not at all traditional. It was a chocolate cake with three layers. Chocolate, with bavarian creme, Vanilla, and red velvet. We ordered beautiful gum paste leaves online to scatter all over the cake.

For favors, I bought some off-white tulle bags and filled them with reeses peanut butter cups wrapped in fall colored foil. My mother made menu cards for each place setting and tied a chocolate ribbon to the top.

Our photographer was a personal friend of mine and did an amzing job. She really captured a lot of little moments that could have easily been missed. This photo was taken during the ceremony as I started reciting my vows...right before the tears came.

I am SO disgusted by this ignorant comment by a small minded and vulgar person! This was the most beautiful wedding I have ever witnessed by the two most amazing people to enter my life! I am so happy for you both and your wedding was stunning!

Each family comes w/a 'Special someone' sometimes we get lucky and the individual(s) are able to contain themselves - obviously this family member did not. Every Bride and Groom has a right to have their own taste that is what makes the world goes round. Can you imagine if we ALL liked the same thing! How boring life would be. Best.
