This past Sunday we had a blast!  Mandy and Nathan were on a budget.  However, they dressed up her parents back yard and made it look amazing!

The ceremony took place at First Farragut United Methodist Church on Kingston Pike and then we moved to Mandy's parents house.  They rented a tent , tables, and chairs from All Occasions Party Rentals.

Flowers for the bouquet were done by a family friend with ties to a wholesale florist here in Knoxville. The flowers for the reception were all silk!  Most of the guests didn't even know they were silk until they actually touched them!  The best thing about silk flowers is that you do not have to worry about the flowers wilting before pictures or your guests have seen the arrangements. I will have pictures of the event up soon.

The family all got together and made finger foods for all the guests.  They did such a great job! And saved a TON OF MONEY!!!  Mandy's mother found a How-To magazine like Southern Living and made a beautiful arrangement of fruit. It looked like it came from a local caterer!  I heard her telling family that it was the easiest thing she had ever done...if she could do it ...anyone could!  I think I am going to try my hand at fruit display for my family Thanksgiving dinner!

Like I said...as soon as I can I will post the pictures so you all can see what all we put together!

Happy Planning!!!
