We did a big reveal with the flower girl, Kallie when her hair was all done!  The reactions from Katelyn and her bridesmaids as well as Kallie was priceless!

A heart made from a swatch of the dress that Katelyn wore to her and Matt’s first high school dance was sewn into her wedding dress. Love all of these simple, meaningful touches!

The bride’s nephew was the ring bearer.  He threw the ringbearer “football pillow” at the beginning of the aisle. It was so cute and funny!
