Mr. & Mrs. Phillip: The Main Event!!!

June 19, 2010 Kara and Matt had amazing weather, an amazing support system and an unbelievably beautiful wedding. I am going to let the pictures do the talking for me on this post, so here we go!

Val, Laura and Jess getting their hair done. We had a great time laughing and chatting while we got our hair done.

After all of us had our hair done we headed to Sumre's moms home, Bev hosted a bridal brunch for us. She is so amazing! Sadly I don't have any pictures but I have a feeling you'll all be on picture overload anyway ;)

The decorations in the new lodge at Camp Wood in Elmdale, KS.

Kara and Matt's wedding was at Camp Wood, just miles from the ranch she grew up on.
Fun fact: Laura and our friend Randy went to camp there for years. I went to camp there for a few years in Junior High but never knew them! Then after Ross and I got to know each other better I met his best friend (and best man!) Ben who also went to Camp Wood and I even have a picture of in my collage from camp!

Kara and Matt had their "first look" on the porch of the home she grew up in that her brother and sister-in-law now live in with their three handsome boys.

All of Kara's half of the bridal party. I think the colors all coordinated SO beautifully!

I just love this picture of Kara and Matt during the ceremony.

The whole bridal party, one good lookin' group, if you ask me!

Our signature picture, Brown Eyed Girl. Love you all :)

Ross and I are officially the next wedding...how odd! I am blessed to have such an awesome group of girls to have learned from and have support me all the way.

Kara and Matt: Thank you for letting me share in your beautiful day. I am so lucky to have you in my life!

Mr. & Mrs. Phillip: The Rehearsal

On June 19, 2010 Kara and Matt's rehearsal was at the new lodge at Camp Wood in Elmdale, KS. Such a beautiful backdrop for pictures, don't you think?! It was a bit windy, but still beautiful.

Laura, Kara, moi and Jess at the rehearsal.

Ross and I snapped a quick picture before heading to Kara's brother and sister-in-law's house for the rehearsal dinner. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures and Leah (Kara's sister-in-law) did such a great job of getting the house and land ready for the day. *sad face.

Once the rehearsal and dinner were over the bride's girls loaded up and headed back to Emporia for some girl time, wine and relaxing before the events to come the next day!

Kara's Bridal Shower

I had the honor of hosting Kara's bridal shower at our house. We did a Greek theme since that's where they were going on their honeymoon. Her shower gifts were clothes and accessories for the trip. On the postcard invite it read: "Kara will be a Mrs. soon, let's get her ready for the honeymoon." Side-note, make sure you're clear that it's not for 'naughty' gifts, her Dad blushed when he read that and thought it was for...other items. ;)

Looking at her pretty new earrings!

Kara got some really beautiful new outfits, I can't wait to see pictures from their honeymoon, I have a feeling they're going to be amazing!

Checking out her new skirt from Val and Leah

The morning of the shower all of us girls got together and had Mandy Giefer take pictures of us, they came out SO beautiful, I forgot to upload those so I'll try and get a couple on the computer soon!
