Making Memories: Rustic Backyard Garden Wedding Menu

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog3 Comments

Oh my goodness, Y’all! I just realized that I never posted the wedding menu from last year… and here we are almost a year later! Thank goodness for my Holiday Planner… I’ve got my notes 🙂 Thankfully, some of the family and friends did offer to bring some of the food… that helped a lot.

Most of the recipes were able to be made in advance, so we spent the two days before the wedding getting all the food prepped. It was a lot of work, but we had a lot of family come to help, and many hands make light work, and God enabled us with the spirit of determination to get it done!

In my defense, I believe that I was waiting so I could post some of the photos, but sadly the photos were lost so we never got the ones we were waiting on… if you want to see what we have you can check out this post:

It’s starting to feel like home…

The past couple of months have been so stressful. It started as a long-awaited master bathroom remodel that had to be put on hold due to an unexpected emergency with a family member. This emergency meant that we needed to focus on other areas of the house… things that we had planned to do in the future- after the bathroom.

Another project took over so that we could create another room in the house and it is finally finished. There are some touchups to complete and I know there will be some furniture changes in the future but it is finished for now… at least until after the upcoming baby shower.

I’ve been wanting to put a wall up between the breakfast area and the den for long time. I created a wall and separated the area in so many ways over the past few years that I felt confident that a wall would be beneficial. You can see some of the many ways that this space has changed HERE.

Oh, what a week!

We had such a crazy week preparing for the wedding this past weekend… it was beautiful and amazing! We definitely couldn’t have done it without the help and support of our family and friends… thank you all!

We don’t have a lot of pictures to share yet but I will share some when I can… I can’t wait to see them.

Unfortunately, a lot of the pictures were missing or lost somehow… I guess we should’ve had a backup person taking more photos.

I was so busy I didn’t even get to take many pictures at all. We did find a site, weduploader.com that gives you a QR code so that guests can upload pictures that they take… it’s pretty neat!

This first photos didn’t load properly so I’m trying again…

It couldn’t wait…

Hello friends!

We are getting closer to the wedding date and it seems like we’ve had one thing after another.

First, it was the freezer after the hurricane… but then it started working a little better until it didn’t. It started making a noise last week and then it began thawing very quickly. We had water everywhere!

In one of my last posts, I showed a quick peek of how our remodel was going and how one thing always leads to another. Well, it is finally finished and it is looking so good!

These were some of the ‘Before’ after we had just finished a major decluttering:
