This silly, goofy couple gives me life! Sarah & Will were married at the gorgeous barn of Chapel Creek Ranch. The natural wood tones of the barn perfectly complimented the purple, blue, yellow, and green tones of her flowers. Surprise; they are wood. Handcrafted by Sola Wood Flowers. Also, the lavender getting ready shirts were also a nice touch. They were embroidered for each of the bridesmaids! Just perfect for this purple wedding. Do you see another purple item? Sara’s embroidered cuffs on the sleeves of her getting-ready shirt. It says, “3.25.21” and “I Do.” I love the phrase “I Do”, “Me too”. It’s such a cute wedding phase and it rhymes together. I’d also seen it as stickers on the bottom of shoes. It’s a like secret surprise.
Speaking of bridesmaids, they wore deep purple bridesmaid dresses. Truly, it’s a great color for an early spring purple wedding. Can you see the trees starting the bloom? My favorite time of the year! Sarah and Will love it too. All most as much as they love waffles! That’s right. WAFFLES. They had a waffle bar at their wedding. It was delicious sweetness covered in white chocolate and Oreos. They also had dark chocolate, whipped cream, syrup, sugar, caramel sauce, and cinnamon. Oh my gosh, it was a treat for their wedding guests. As the night continued, Sarah & Will danced with friends and family then ran through a sparkler exit. Not once, but twice! It was a great day or as I like to say the best day ever.
