Bridal Room Bliss

I, along with friends Nan and Chrissy, had the privilege of preparing a bridal room for Kim Mapes on her wedding day, August 16th.  I have known Kim since she was born and have many, many fond memories of playing with her and her sisters - it was my chance to be an older sister =)!  Well, as you can see below, we took a room at church and completely transformed it into a room that the girls would be spending time getting ready for the wedding.  First we took everything out of the room (with the help of our husbands) and then we began to fill it back up with furniture, lights, flowers, toule, toule and more toule!  It was so fun to pull all of our ideas and resources together to make a breathtaking room.
I thoroughly enjoyed making the floral centerpiece.
My mom's antique vanity was perfect for the room!
We were able to borrow an antique dress form and Kim's dress looked beautiful waiting for the special day.
Here is Heidi and her cousin, Erin.  Heidi was so excited to be at her first wedding (well, at least the first one that she remembers!  She was 2 the last time she went to one).
Kim and Jason had a beautiful and meaningful wedding.  Here are a few pictures of them and the Mapes family.

This is beautiful -- a bride would definitely feel like a princess for the day in this room!

The room was beautiful. Have brides have sat at that vanity on their special day, so it has some special history.

Love, Mom

Hi Leah! I am a friend of Nan's. She told me that you had some pictures of the room on your blog. It truly was a beautiful room. I am just amazed at what you girls did with that room! What a special treat for the bride.
