The beginning of March, Olivia and I went out to Nebraska for my sister's wedding. We were really busy! I had to make my bridesmaid's dress, Olivia's flower girl dress, the wedding cake, the groom's cake (which I pawned off on my baby sister) and take pictures. Here are just a few pictures. I'll post more pictures of the wedding party, etc., when I'm done editing them and my sister has seen them.
Olivia loves hats. Here she is in her new Uncle Tyler's cowboy hat. All the groomsmen wore cowboy hats and boots.
Here is the groom's cake that I pawned off on Savanna. She and her mother-in-law made it and it turned out AWESOME!!!! It's red velvet. Everybody was taking pictures of it at the reception and it put my wedding cake to shame.
Here are the cakes together. I have two incredible aunts that helped me A TON with the wedding cake (and another extremely talented cake-maker aunt who offered advice via the phone). It was a lemon cake that I made totally from scratch. A lot of work, but soooo good.
Here's a picture of me and Olivia before the wedding. She did so good walking down the isle with her little ball of flowers (and a cracker in her hand). I smocked her dress and it turned out really cute. Again, my aunts helped me by putting the finished touches on her dress and mine (i.e. sewing on Olivia's sleeves and all the hand stitching...they also pressed my dress and did the finishing stitches on that, too.) I am not kidding when I say my aunts are super amazing women!

Let me just say that I will NOT be that involved in a wedding again at 7 weeks pregnant, even though I was happy to help my sister. Still, never again. I don't care if the bride is the Queen of England.

You did the Steel Magnolias Armadillo Grooms Cake!!! That is so freaking awesome! I am totally hiring your family if I get married in this lifetime to make that cake...
They both look awesome! Nicely done. I hope Aubrey told you I called while I was lost in Omaha this past weekend. I'll have to call you this week while MIke is out of town... I"ll be so bored! The smoking on Olivia's dress is amazing.. nicely done! I can't wait to hear all about it. love ya
Seriously? Smocking? I wish I knew how to do that. :-(
That cake looks and sounds delicious!
And I know how you feel about being involved in a wedding...when we did Elizabeth Ford's wedding pictures, I was about 6 weeks and *so* nauseated all the time! After their temple ceremony, it was like 8 pm and I thought I was going to die from tired!
Can't wait to see the rest of the pics. Looks like everything turned out great! Hey, stop by sometime this week when you're out and pick up the bassinet and I have a surprise for Olivia. You'll like it. Are you coming to my Scentsy party Tuesday? DON'T FORGET!
You did great! Olivia's dress is so cute. I was going to smock the blessing gown, but have decided against it. I'll save that for a summer dress or something. I just don't think I'll have time and everyone that I know that has a pleater has broken needles.
Wow. You are one multi-talented chic. Congrats on the pregnancy!
