Pro BAM!!! From Bowling Wedding Reception

Carlyle, on February 26, 2016 at 9:22 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 1 61

It has officially been two weeks and I've gotten my photographs...anyone in the Atlanta area I HIGHLY recommend Martine Beher as she was amazing to work with and I love the finished photos.

The day started out great with mimosas and a quick breakfast. Myself, mom, two sisters (BM's), and brother's girlfriend (BM) headed out to get our hair done at Ulta in Atlanta. Another hidden gem that saved huge on the budget and they did an amazing job! From there we went to the church to get dressed and had a little wedding dress drama. The corset sash had unknowingly been removed from the dress bag the night before so we had to improvise and use what would have been a decorative sash to lace the dress up. Luckily that was the only real hiccup of the day.

We headed to Swan House for photographs before the ceremony (it was President Snow's house in Hunger Games). I'd never been there before and it was just absolutely beautiful.

    After many pictures we headed to the church for the actual ceremony. His father married us, there was some issues here because he ended up not doing the ceremony we had agreed upon, but in the end we were married and heading to the reception to celebrate with all of our family and friends.

    Neither DH or I are much into dancing, but we love going bowling together (I’m terrible). So we went to a local bowling alley for pizza, sliders, beer, and bowling. I think everyone had a great time because we certainly did.

    My dad surprised me with a Father – Daughter dance since we had told our parents we wouldn’t be doing anything traditional like that. Thankfully DH’s mother did a Mother – Son dance as well, our parents are apparently sneaky.

    It was an amazing day and I’m glad that we did something that we both enjoyed and was a little more relaxed for our reception, everyone in the bowling alley was a little surprised to see me bowling in a wedding dress (surprising not that hard to do). If I had to do it again I wouldn’t have his Father marry us, and I would have made sure that everything was in the dress bag. Far worse things could have happened it overall went a lot better than I thought.

    These are the last I'll post...also my flowers were from afloral and I got tons of people telling me they looked real so I recommend them as a money saver too! You can see in the photo a little fraying of the flowers, but it's really not what it could be for fake flowers.
