the Reeves

Jennifer and Jimmy Reeves' wedding was a relaxed and casual atmosphere. Every detail was well placed: From the "Mr and Mrs."  signs on the backs of their chairs to the Martha Stewart hanging paper flowers in the reception tent. You could see their personalities reflected on every surface. Well done Reeves! We approve. Look forward to pics from part two.

Mr. and Mrs. 2

Here are some more pictures from Mandy and Matt's wedding. Enjoy!

Mr. and Mrs.

I am very excited to announce that I have my very first wedding feature here on 10secondbride! Matt and Mandy Burris have graciously offered their beautiful wedding as an inspiration for my blog. Their unique and lovely wedding was done on a barge in NYC, inspired by Brooklyn they used bright colors and little goodies to dress up the boat for their guests. They even had nausea chewables for those with weak stomachs! Using the bridge as a magnificent backdrop they got married in the boat's belly and moved to the topdeck for treats and drinks- cocktail style- with their guests. Well done guys! Scroll through and take a look!
