We Met in a Bar

real wedding and real talent

My long time friend Jessie got married a few months back (Yaaay!) and I have been meaning to do a post of her pictures, but I just kept getting busy.  So this morning when I saw on facebook that she had put some new items on her etsy shop I figured now was a good time to do a double header!

Jessie is a Southern California girl who fell in love with a (very tall) Swedish basketball player. She travels with him and when they aren’t traveling they are in Sweden. All of this time has given her a chance to work on some side projects, sewing being one of them. And oh. my. Lord. Go check out her etsy shop before everything sells out!

A yoga mat bag.

Place mats with a built in chopsticks holder! (ok, so between this morning when I grabbed the picture from her etsy and right now, these have sold out….  I am sure you can request some though!)

She also has pillows and aprons… all in the most fun fabrics!  Go check it out!

Now on to her wedding. Want to know something cool? They got married in Sweden, so… as to not disappoint all of their family and friends who couldn’t make the trip, they had a live feed going! I got to watch the whole thing from right here in front of my computer!  It was awesome! All images (except for the shoes, which were shot by a freind, were actually shot by an actions sports photographer! Check out his site!

She was rockin the J. Crew dress (The Whitney) and shoes!!

So gorgeous!  She also has a blog , which I have a link to over on the right, Meditations of a Wallflower. She posts cooking stuff, home decorating stuff, life stuff…  She is pretty much awesome.  Congrats Jessie and Fred!!!

hello friendly commentators! a quick note to answer some questions, in case heather hasn’t already ;)
katy-i haven’t updated my blog in months! SO sorry to disappoint. i don’t get as much traffic as heather…so it’s jsut kind of been pushed to the side. i need to get back on that though! will do!
wed in the city- our photographer was a childhood friend of my husband. he’s a professional “action sport photographer”, but offered to take our wedding photos as a gift (!!). check out his amazing site: http://www.schenholm.se/
liz- my dress came from j.crew! it’s the “solid silk chiffon Whitney long dress”…simple and elegant and i felt like a dream all day long :) any dress from j.crew is a winner though. my sister in-law wore a dress of theirs 4 years ago and she was stunning! you just can’t go wrong with j.crew ;)
