Blonde Oklahoma Girl's Wedding

I've been patiently waiting for the photos and/or video of Blonde Oklahoma Girl's wedding to be ready in order to do the blog. Finally, the sneak peak photos have been posted and I just can't wait anymore to share them with you!  I'm sure you all are excited too, especially after the wildly popular Advice for the Single Ladies Blog Series we just did a couple of weeks ago.

We've been through a lot, that Blonde Oklahoma Girl and I.  We're sort of the last of the Mohicans...the final single girls in the group (sometimes it felt like on the planet).  There were many a phone conversation where she talked me off the ledge, and vice versa.  There was lot of analyzing, tears over engagements happening, and a friendship that's spanned nearly a decade.  It was such an honor to stand up with her on her big day.


The best description I've got for Blonde Oklahoma Girls' wedding day is this.....it was the day Pinterest came to life.  I was beyond amazed at the beautiful setting, the amazing decorations, her attention to every.last.detail.  It was seriously just perfect. My words won't do it justice, so I'll let the pictures talk.  And hopefully someday soon, I'll have a video to play for you all.

First up, getting ready.  She had us matching bridal party tank tops and herself a monogrammed white shirt.  Classic.



Then (maybe the best part) the decor.  Seriously, if you've seen it on a rhustic-chic Pinterest board, she made it.  It was amazing!
She had handmade signs all over the place.
This was the guest book area.
I'm so in love with the pictures frames she had, I bought them
in white for my own wedding.

She had a popcorn bar for her gift to the guests....
I've been in a lot of weddings but had never seen this!
The flowers?  To die for.

 Next we have the wedding party.  I may be a bit partial, but I think we're pretty dang sharp lookin' folks here.  (Please note these dresses?  $40 a Maurice's.  Genius and they photographed so well!)


Next up, we've got the dress.  This, too, was something that she found on Pinterest and then went and tracked down in real life.  And despite a bit of drama (and the accidental dropping of a major curse word) getting it on when there was a broken hook, it was perfection.


And now, the venue.  Seriously, she always wanted a barn wedding.  Well she got the storybook venue---not one barn, but two and a beautiful open area full of old trees strung with lanterns and candles for the ceremony.








 Finally, the party.  They had an amazing first dance....very Pure Country wedding-ish (which was the goal)....under the sky and white lights.  There was a little surprise for everyone, but you'll have to wait for the video to see that.  The night ended with a sparkler send off for the happy couple!


There was also a fun photo booth.  He's her's.  She's his.  I'm here for the cake.

Oh, and last but certainly not least, it is football season.  Go Pokes!

I'm glad my photos could be of use to you - of course they compare poorly to the awesome official wedding photographer pics!

BOKG did such a great job with her decorations! And the venue was beautiful! And she was gorgeous! And the bridesmaid dresses were lovely! So much good!
