An "Up"-Themed Wedding {Try New Adventures Thursday!}

It has been an entire week since I posted a blog post! *shocking* The reason?

We married my little sister off! She had a sweet wedding (aside from the nearly-June Florida heat) with a theme from Pixar's "Up" movie. Here's a little taste, starting with a few of Michaela and Kurt's engagement pictures:

Michaela made the adventure banner...isn't it great?

The wedding day was perfect for the outside ceremony, followed by an indoor reception in the carriage house of the old Southern plantation where they got married.

Inside the reception hall, the guest book table:

I failed to take a picture, but they also had a mailbox with their names and handprints painted on--the guests put cards in it! There was also an "Adventure Jar" for honeymoon money.

All of the groomsmen wore Grape Soda pins:

The bridesmaids--check out all of our yellow shoes! The three girls in the middle are my sisters and I'm on the right end.

The centerpieces in the reception hall--the awesome pinwheels where made by Kaitlyn.

A lady in Michaela's church made this awesome quilt. It was placed on a table at the reception and people were able to write wedding wishes on it with fabric pens.

Me and my little sister (wasn't she a beautiful bride?):

The getaway:

I didn't take nearly enough pictures because I was way too busy dancing. They had an amazing live band and a vocalist who sounded just like Frank Sinatra. I overdid it with the dancing, because I was exhausted the next day (but it was worth it!).

They had bunches of balloons in the reception hall and Squishy thought he was in heaven. He spent the majority of the reception dragging a bunch of balloons around. In between, he snagged cookies from the dessert table...he probably had more cookies in one night than he had ever had in his whole life put together. An epic day in Squishy's book.

Ok--it's your turn! Share your new adventure in a blog post, link it up here, link back to Alicia's Homemaking, and then visit the other participants and leave fun comments! I'm looking forward to what you have to share. :)
