Well we did it, we got MARRIED!

After 2 years of planning and collecting, our rustic, reused, recycled wedding came to life. It came to life even prettier than I imagined! I ended up collecting over 150 China Dinner, Salad, and Cake plates. 30 lace table runners, a beautiful armoire I used for a cake stand and lots of other fun stuff!
the Silver Creek Youth Camp at Silverfalls State Park near Salem Oregon was perfect for the joining of these two hearts. We had acres and acres and acres to your selves, our loved ones stayed the entire weekend, no one told us what we could and couldn't do and the staff who stopped by every morning to make sure we had everything we needed was very nice and respectful of our space.

Here's a few photo's of our decorations. I'll post more once I get the professional photos back =)

This door was at the end of the trail that went to the ceremony site, a large open amphitheater like setting.. "A door to a new life" 

These hearts all had little love notes Levi and I wrote to each-other over the last two years and kept in a box where we could not read them until our wedding day. 

My friend Becca painted this lovely tree, guests were asked to "Leaf their finger prints"

This is the dinning hall. Already equipped with tables and benches from the 1800's.  I made the garland out old sheets. It turned out beautiful! 




 The day before the wedding my girlfriends and I picked Dahlias to fill all the antique medicine, mason, and milk jars I had collected






My sister-in-law made our cakes! White cake with butter-cream, stuffed with fresh peaches! 
   

I ended up renting a few vintage items from Danner & Soli out of Salem. I loved the way this Victorian furniture looked out in the open field! 

Our ceremony was very intimate. We laughed and had fun the entire 15-20 minutes. 




Of course our dogs were there!

Surround  by old growth 

 There were 38 of these cute little cabins on-site for all our overnight guests

Handsomes!

Truman and Tucker = Best pals!



 Did I mention there was a swimming pond? 




All in all it was a pretty good day!
