Today I’m going to be sharing my Reception Pictures from our wedding. We chose not to have a DJ for the reception, and instead have the best man make the announcements. We chose to do this in hopes to have our reception feel more intimate since we only had close friends and family there. Our reception went so quickly but was so much fun. I think you can tell by the pictures!
I am so excited about today’s topic. I have been wanting to do a home tour since we moved into our apartment but I never felt that it was ready. I still don’t but it’s come a long way since we moved in so I thought nows as good a time as ever so… Welcome to our home!
If you walked in this is what you would see. Most of the decorations I’ve used actually came from our wedding and a lot of them are homemade so they are really sweet reminders for me.
I am still in love with that coffee cart and am so glad we bought. Also pictured is my desk that I (try to) spend my mornings reading my bible and journaling but don’t always make it.
This would be our kitchen. It’s not very big but it’s just what we need.
And lastly, our dining room. We bought that table when we moved in and we absolutely love it. It’s so cute and the perfect addition to our little space and it fits our style so well. The cards hanging above it are from our wedding and the banner is also decoration from our wedding. Oh and those are my wedding flowers. Did I mention that all the decorations in the apartment are from the wedding? 😉
So this is our home and my favorite part is who I spend it with. A huge shout out to my husband for helping me straighten up so I can take these pictures- you’re the best 🙂
Hey everyone… Ashley Zinhobl here! 🙂 I don’t know when that will ever get old 😉 Just thought I’d drop by and say hi since it’s been quite a while since my last post. Tommy and I got married on May 22nd and I still don’t think it’s completely hit me. This all feels way too good to be true. We left for our honeymoon the next morning and got back this past Sunday. Today is our last day off from work and it is oh so sad. I wish I could just spend every day with my new husband.
We went to the Dominican Republic for our honeymoon and it was so awesome. We decided to take a few days off when we got home to be able to fall into a little more normal routine before returning to work after all of the craziness. We’re still learning what it means to be husband and wife to each other, but it is such a fun and exciting time. I can’t wait to write more about this stage of life, but for now I still don’t think I can form a coherent thought about it all just yet lol. I really would like to fall into a more normal routine with blogging now that all of the madness prior to the wedding is now finally over. Hopefully some people are still around to want to read haha I look forward to catching up with all of your blogs as well!
Hi friends, just wanted to drop in today and share about the details of Tommy’s wedding ring. I actually found it on Pinterest and loved the idea. I ended up showing Tommy and he loved it even more.
So the place we ordered it from is called Spexton. They custom make each ring, which to me is perfect because it makes it so special. The rings aren’t mass produced somewhere, making the chances of Tommy having the same ring as someone else very high.
The customer service is really awesome too. They strongly advice you to order test rings before placing your order for the final ring because they want it to fit perfectly. They send you 3 test rings and help you find the correct fit and once you have that you can place the final order knowing that your ring will fit perfectly.
Right now Tungsten is super popular for men’s wedding rings and while Tommy’s is black it’s made of Black Zirconium. The video explains why Black Zirconium is better to use than Tungsten because Tungsten isn’t originally black – it’s painted black which means that the paint and chip or be scratched off. Black Zirconium is just heated up which alters the nature of the metal and it changes to black, which will not scratch off. So to me that makes this a really quality ring.
The ring from above is Tommy’s exact ring and I think it’s awesome and so unique. Tommy’s actually interested in metals because he is in training to become a welder and he thinks knowing the process of how his ring was made is really cool, which makes this all so much greater.
So yeah, that’s the many details of Tommy’s ring (and no they didn’t pay me to post this I just love it that much). The only downfall is that it takes a month to come in once you place the final order but that’s okay because we still have 104 days until the wedding haha!
I know, I know it’s Thursday but whatev. After my sad but real post yesterday I thought I d come here and write about something much happier – the wedding! I think I’ve mentioned before I was not one of those girls that had been planning my day for as long as I can remember or anything like that. To be honest, the last wedding I’ve been to I was the flower girl and I was seven. So to say I didn’t even know how to plan a wedding would have been an understatement. I didn’t even know exactly what happened at a wedding!
Thank God I found this awesome wedding planning checklist which saved me so much research and stress. I printed it out and made a cute little binder and it’s been really helping me know what to do next. So I just thought I’d drop by and share a little bit about what I’ve been planning, the general theme (rustic) of the wedding and what we’ve done vs what we’ve still yet to do.
To start I thought it’d be a good idea to share a “mood board” I believe they’re called.
The more I plan, the more excited I get. Those are actually the bridesmaid dresses that I chose, they’re going to alternate colors and I just love that idea. I’m just so excited for the day to be here and all the planning to be done. So far I’ve gotten probably not as much done as I should.
Venue
Caterer
Photographer
Dress
Bridesmaid Dresses
Groom’s Suit
Groomsman Suits
Cake
Flowers
Centerpieces
To see a lot of the BIG things like the venue, photographer, and my dresses crossed off makes me feel better but there’s still so much to do! We basically have found a caterer, we just need to finalize it and I have done a lot of research for the cake, flowers, and centerpieces so I’m happy about that. I can’t wait to be able to check off some more things for sure though. It’s going to be here before we know it. 4 months and 1 day!
This post was actually a lot more fun than I thought it would be to write. I think I may just do it again sometime soon 😉
