Our big day&#8230;. our special moment&#8230; our wedding is something we hold very close to our heart. \u00a0We chose to have a very, small and intimate wedding because we both come from very large families and to invite everyone, we would need to reserve an amphitheater. (and I&#8217;m not kidding!) So a lot of hearts were broken, but in the end, it was about us and I&#8217;m happy with what we decided. \u00a0The day was also special to us because not only did we get married, we baptized our daughter! We &#8220;branded&#8221; our day as celebrating LOVE because we wanted to include our daughter in the celebration as a day of love for our family! We chose a booklet style invitation because we had a lot of information we needed to include for our guests and we wanted them aware of everything going on. We started the day with a traditional wedding ceremony and then we baptized our daughter. \u00a0From there, we had a lunch reception (that was Ahh-MAZEing) and when we were done, our bridal party gathered to take pictures. \u00a0Once we finished there, we had a cocktail reception at a private residence and here, we were able to invite more guests who we were unable to invite in the morning events. \u00a0It was a long, beautiful day and I wouldn&#8217;t trade it for anything!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-1212\" alt=\"IMG_2945\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dolldinedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_2945-1024x681.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.dolldinedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_2945-1024x681.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.dolldinedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_2945-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-1213\" alt=\"IMG_4756\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dolldinedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_4756-1024x681.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.dolldinedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_4756-1024x681.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.dolldinedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_4756-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-1214\" alt=\"IMG_4757\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dolldinedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_4757-1024x681.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.dolldinedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_4757-1024x681.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.dolldinedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_4757-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-1215\" alt=\"IMG_4760\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dolldinedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_4760-1024x681.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.dolldinedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_4760-1024x681.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.dolldinedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_4760-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-1216\" alt=\"IMG_4763\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dolldinedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_4763-1024x681.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.dolldinedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_4763-1024x681.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.dolldinedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_4763-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-1217\" alt=\"IMG_4768\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dolldinedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_4768-1024x681.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.dolldinedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_4768-1024x681.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.dolldinedesigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_4768-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was definitely a true labor of love when we designed our own wedding invitations.
