Wedded Bliss

This past weekend I made the journey to Buffalo NY to attend my dear friend Elisa's wedding. This wedding goes down in history as one of the best weddings I've ever attended. It was total rock star! Everything went so smoothly...no drama...Elisa and Balazs looked beautiful. And in the end it just felt like it was about them. So many weddings turn into this beast of an event. I never felt like they were doing something to appease a mother/MIL or because it was tradition. Every detail represented who they are, as a couple and as individuals. Of course I have to share the crafty goodness at the wedding. These little hinged boxes were the place cards and the favors. Elisa did a fantastic job making each one unique. I adore mine, decoupaged in the NYC subway map. So appropriate for me and I just love it!! Inside candy, covered almonds in an organza bag.
I also had a fantastic time reconnecting with college friends. We stayed up late, piled into a hotel room telling old stories and laughing. It has been a long time since I have laughed that hard. Thank you all for a fantastic time! Let's do it again real soon!
