Me at Kim & Matt's Wedding

After months of planning, late nights, lots of designing and dozens of emails back and forth, Kim and Matt were married on Saturday, November 15, 2008! It's crazy to think that Kim and I were married in the same year! I was so blessed to be a huge part of Kim's wedding day. She was my maid-of-honor a year ago and I was blessed to be her matron-of-honor on her special day.

My jobs for Kim's wedding consisted of:

• dress picking outing
• researching and finding photos
• researching photographers
  
• engagement photography
• wedding invitation design
• rehearsal dinner invitation design
• bridal lunch invitation design
• hostess for bacherlorette party
• hostess for lingerie shower
• coordinating bridesmaids
• bridal photography
• program designer
• guest book designer
• favor designer
• hair dresser
• make-up artist
• veil putter oner
• dress lacer and adjuster
• OVERALL WEDDING PLANNER

I am just kidding! But that is what everyone was calling me by the end. It was so much fun. It was basically like getting married but without the amazing honeymoon at the end.

Here is a little glimpse of me from the wedding day doing all my duties! These photos were taken by Kim's wedding photographer, the talented, Shan Renee.



My hair was done by the amazing, Ty Lindgren at the Barry Morris Salon. She has been doing my up-dos for years and does an AMAZING job!! Kim's hair was done by me!










Congratulations, Kim and Matt!! If you'd like to see more photos from the wedding, click below to watch their slideshow!

Kim's Bridal Luncheon

For Kim's bridal luncheon, Kim took as to this really neat Cafe inside of a nursery. It was so pretty and luscious.







Kim got us earrings to go with our dresses as well as an ornament that matched our personality. Mine is the red one. It went perfect with my Christmas tree!






The food was so good too! I love quiche!




All of the bridesmaids minus Clair again:

One Year Ago

One year ago, I married the love of my life, Clint! I can't believe a year has already flown by! I have loved every minute of being married and I know that the years are going to continue to get better! I thank God every day for giving me an amazing husband. I love you, Clint! Happy anniversary!

Kim's Lingerie Shower

Two days before Kim's wedding on November 13, myself and three of Kim's other bridesmaids hosted her lingerie shower. I had been planning the theme for several months and I love how it all came together. I used pink, black, zebra stripes along with lots of feathers and rhinestone "bling."

The photo above is of the pink margarita glasses with cherry Sprite and cherries which everyone enjoyed as well as water bottles with pink cheetah labels.

One of the bridesmaid's friends makes fabulous cupcakes and she put together this amazing cupcake tower as our centerpiece. If you need some yummy cupcakes for an event, let me know and I'll give you her name! The bridesmaids also helped me prepare some really yummy food including chocolate covered strawberries, artichoke dip, cream cheese and chipotle sauce, gourmet chocolates and pigs in a blanket!





I bought these adorable paper lanterns that really helped pull the theme together. It took three of us to get these hung up just right.



Check out all these gifts! This girl got spoiled with lingerie!



We put together some really fun games that got everyone laughing. Thank you to Cari for helping me take some of these photos!






One of the funniest games came from Jayme. I read a poem that described Kim's "panty life." By the end, these were the granny panties she was wearing! These were a gag gift at my lingerie shower and I was happy to be able to use them again.





And here was Kim's gag gift from her aunt!





We also played the game that is popular at baby showers where you have to steal the most clothespins. Intead, we gave everyone a blinking ring pop and if someone said "honeymoon" or "wedding," they could steal your ring pop. There was some crazy stealing going on!








All but one of the bridesmaids: me, Wendy, Callie, Kim, Cari and Jayme






It was so much fun and we had a blast spoiling Kim like crazy!
