Eat Drink and Be Married

After realizing what a terrible job of blogging we have been doing.. Here is Cara & Tyler's elopement and reception. Better late than never (and trust me you will want to see how cute it all turned out!)

They eloped in April then they had their reception in August and it was oh so amazing and fun fun fun!

Molly's Living Room Inspiration

Hello Lovelies!
         It's official Chance and I bought our first home!!! Which means it's decorating time. Starting with the living room. I'm thinking grey, navy and copper accents! I'm really digging this modern-shabby feel I've been seeing on Pinterest more and more so we shall see how it goes!

diy mason jar lid pumpkin

Wondering where we've been for the last year? Well we got a bit busy... Life you could say. Cara and I are sorry that we kinda quite cold turkey but we are back now!

     So without further ado:

They are cheap inexpensive to make, take under 15 minutes, and look adorable! You could even make these with a kid you trust with hot glue gun... Yes, they are that easy. Even if you have convinced yourself you can't "do Pinterest-y things" you my friend can do this.

Supplies:

15 Mason Jar Lids

Twine

Cinnamon Sticks 

Green Burlap

Hot Glue

Orange Spray Paint (optional) *

*Spray paint before you tie them together 

Step One: String the lids onto the twine facing the same direction 

Step Two: Tie the twine in a double know and spread the lids back out to make a circle 

Step Three Cut a diamond shape out of green burlap for the leaf

Step Four Hot glue a thin line around the cinnamon stick and insert the center of pumpkin 

Step Five Glue on the burlap leaf

Side Note: Every time you move these you will have to readjust the lids to make a perfect looking circular pumpkin!

Boom. 

Super easy pumpkins. Now go make some and let us know what you think!

Molly & Chance: January wedding July reception

Last year on Christmas Chance proposed! We were married January 29 in a tiny courthouse ceremony with only immediate family present. It was perfect for us because the we are not big fans of cheesy, long, ceremonies where everyone is bored and ready to have a good time.... So we skipped it!  Now don't get me wrong it was still the most special day of my life and it was beautiful with the quaintness of it all but Chance and I just wanted that to be quiet and simple (and it was fun to surprise other family!)

My brand new sister-in-law Kylee was our photographer for the day.  Thank you so much for helping out! 

 However, I'm a sucker for family events and so Chance and I decided to have our reception for all our friends and family help celebrate with us here at Saratoga Resort and Spa in Saratoga, Wyoming! We've spent the last few anniversaries there and have been going there with my family for years, its an amazing place to stay. 

Cara helped with every single detail and together we pulled off an amazing woodsy, rustic, Wyoming reception! 

 

First, our photographer, Charity is amazing and you should check out her work! She really did an amazing job capturing the feel of our day!  Second, I love details so Chance and I had as many special little things as we could fit in! 

Mimosas in the morning & the glasses Cara created (for half the price as the store ones... but more on that later!)

Cara helping me get ready!

These were our guest place markers because I didn't actually care where everyone sat... Just as long as everyone had a seat! 

Super awesome shades for later... Yes a few of them have bottle openers built in

The dress I wore originally wore in January from Ruche

My mama, Cara, and I 

Cara and I created the bouquets, DIY all the way baby! 

 

We had our photos done at a place called Aspen Alley in the middle of Medicine Bow National Park

Chance and I may not have had a ceremony but we love getting fancy with our friends! 

  

Deep in the heart of the mountains 

Chance and I now have our very own tree!

Once we got back to the resort we set up for our reception, we were able to do a bit the night before but we were worried about wind and rain so we waited for most of it. 

Honey Cakes  an amazing local bakery created this beautiful cake and the cupcakes to go along! 

I forgot to save the site I ordered the UP cake toppers

We created our thumb print tree (featuring our girls, we had to put them somewhere) from Spotted Nest on Etsy. It was so amazing and she even got Maggie's spots correct, I love how it turned out!

 Cara came up with the popcorn bar! 

I know I know I realize I got our elopement date wrong ;)

 

Prosciutto, Cantaloupe, and Black Berries... So beyond good

After trying to figure out a mason jar themed center piece (and Cara and I tried!) We found these lanterns on sale at Target for a $1! Put them with some burlap and sprinkle paper hearts... you've got yourself a beautiful and simple center piece! 

But the very best part of the night was jumping into the mineral hot spring pool! It's naturally heated and chlorine free so the entire party hopped on in! 

Thanks for letting me share our beautiful day(s) with you!!
