Since yesterday was Ilario and I's Two Year Anniversary, I thought today would be the perfect Wedding Wednesday to share details from our big day with all of you! All images were captured by the amazing and talented Brandy J and Sticky of Brandy J Photography - since our wedding day we've become great friends with them. Brandy J and Sticky are not only talented photographers, they are truly great people!
The incredible Jordanne Clyde did my makeup that day - she's such a sweet and talented artist! I also personalized my wardrobe for the pre-ceremony preparations - you can get your own "Mrs." Hoodie at the Wedding Channel Store.
I designed all of our wedding stationery - below is a glimpse at our ceremony program. To see more of our stationery, check out the "amanda & ilario" page on baci's site.
My Touch Ups bridal shoes can be found at the Benjamin Walk Corporation - they were incredibly comfortable and affordable!
All wedding day flowers were ordered wholesale from FiftyFlowers.com. Two friends of the family and my mom assembled all of the bouquets, boutonnieres, altar decorations and centerpieces. My bouquet consisted of white tulips, white ranunculus, pearl-studded stephanotis and chocolate cosmos. The flowers were hand-tied with ivory ribbon and my late grandfather's rosary was gently placed in the bouquet. My silk shantung Watters gown was purchased and altered by the lovely ladies at Poffie Girls in Gastonia, North Carolina.
Our flower girls were absolute dolls - their dresses were purchased and altered at Bridal Village in Hicksville, Ohio near my hometown. The bridesmaids were asked to chose one of two styles of chocolate organza layered Watters gowns which were purchased online at NetBride.
I absolutely love this shot of our dads! On the right, my father is holding the ring bearer pillows, which were handmade by Ilario's sister.
The bridesmaid bouquets were made using white tulips, chocolate cosmos and peach roses.
Ilario and I during the "Ave, Maria" - my cousin Sophie brought everyone to tears with her beautiful voice.
Our adorable nephew, Grant! All tuxedos were rented at Men's Wearhouse.
Ilario and I heading out of the church as man and wife :) My floor length veil was hand stitched with our monogram at Poffie Girls - it was my absolute favorite piece I wore that day!
The whole bridal party in the cornfield across the street from the church - we had SO much fun!
A few hot, hot, hot creative portraits of us. . .
In downtown Defiance, the annual Halloween parade was about to commence so we stopped and took a few fun pictures in front of the fried cheese stand!
Ilario and I during our first dance. . . I love the glow of the lights and tulle strung from the ceiling.
We certainly didn't skimp on desserts on our wedding day - coming from two generations of women who bake for a living, it wasn't hard! My grandmother baked our cake and my full-of-talent mother decorated it, she also baked and assembled the "10.27.07" cupcakes. Our aunts and Ilario's mom each made a favorite cookie recipe to add to the dessert buffet.
Ilario's friend, Ashley, created our beautiful toasting flutes and gave them to us as an engagement present - they added a very special touch to our day.
