Dance with Me - Two Page Wedding Layout

Oh the memories of this dance with my son. I'm sure I danced with him when he was a boy, but this was my first, and last (only) dance with him as a grown man. It was very emotional for me. My Mom had just passed away from Parkinson's disease the day before his wedding! What a roller coaster of emotion. It was a little overwhelming.

Katie and her Dad are quite close, so this was also a very touching moment. We all tried to celebrate the day and make the most of this once in a lifetime family event. I think we did okay, all considered. Yes, I was an emotional wreck, but for the most part I was overjoyed for my son and daughter-in-love. 

Love these pictures of their first dance. 

What do you think of these black chandeliers that I cut with my Cricut? When I found these in Design Space I was so excited! I added a little Wink of Stella to make them shimmer. I love the way they add some elegance, accentuating my favorite pictures. The chandelier in the gold frame was an embellishment that came in a pack of wedding paper. I added gold washi, a title, and done!

Wasn't he just 3 years old, eating snacks at the little plastic picnic table, playing with cars, chasing after his big brother, and riding his tricycle? Good heavens....How does time fly so incredibly fast. 😭😭😭

Thanks for stopping by. Only a few wedding layouts left to share.

"We Gather Together" - Two Page Wedding Scrapbook Layout

Hope you all enjoyed your holidays! They go way too fast. We are still decorated for Christmas, partially because we have extended family coming to celebrate this weekend. I thought I better get in a quick post before things get crazy with preparations.

This is another wedding layout from my son and daughter-in-love's wedding in the fall of 2017. The pictures are the parents being ushered into the ceremony.

 This layout is not one of my favorites for some reason. Well, first of all, I am in it. 😜 Secondly, it's kind of pale, but I do think it works well with the pictures. The title makes it for me. Hope you like it. You know, they can't all be our favorites, right?

 I managed to fit 7 pictures on this two pager and still had some room for design elements. Most of the design is part of the patterned paper. I added some decorative tape and a key that I had in my stash. The horizontal tape across the bottom helps to tie the pics together and ground them a bit. The key is just for fun. The chandeliers bring a bit of elegance to the page to highlight this treasured moment in time. The Mom's are highlighted with striped matts and color photos. I used black and white for the rest of the pictures. Do you ever mix black and white photos with color photos on the same layout?

Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you are enjoying these wedding pages! You'll have to come back to see some black chandeliers on a later page in the album. 😍
