Well ladies & gents, here it is. After I made you wait a full MONTH to see any photos from our reception, here they are! It took so long, because I was so busy with guests and running the party that I didn't even remember to take one single shot! My mom & grandma sort of became the impromptu reception photographers though, which meant that I had to wait for them to do whatever they were planning with them (which turned out to be a really nice set of prints in a photo album & digital CD).
I thought I'd organize them into two massive photo- dump style posts. Today's post will be the physical set up, and tomorrow's will show off the faces of the day- both people and animal:)
So without further ado, here is a photo tour of our reception set up in my Aunt's yard:
 |
| We rented a tent to house the food & longer eating tables. |
 |
| Family chatting before the event. Just to give you an idea of what the tables looked like. |
 |
| Pool, to the tent, to the house- grey on the right in the background. |
 |
This is the "pool house" behind the pool. It's a GORGEOUS little sitting room where
folks can sleep in the summer or change into their suits. |
 |
Bench under grapevines- behind the pool too.
|
 |
| Hanging out during the party. |
 |
We put little family tables & smaller groupings of chairs throughout the yard so that people could
choose where to eat & hang out. |
 |
| Group in the front yard. |
 |
The side of the house has a lovely porch with french doors. In the background you can see the volleyball net
we set up. We also had badmitten equipment & toys & balls for kids out there. |
 |
Next to the porch I set up the guest sign in, favors, and gift table.
 |
 |
| Some of you may recognize the album & sign in book we ordered from Edi of Memories for Life. |
 |
| Off a bit in the side yard, my Aunt built this tree house out of 100% salvaged materials (dumpster dive style!) |
 |
Right in front of the tree house, they have a fire pit. We spend the late night shift of the reception
hanging here making smore's and chatting. |
 |
And here I am cleaning up the day after.
|
Stay tuned- tomorrow I'll post photos of the folks who attended!
