Molly & Jake: The Thorncrown Chapel Ceremony

Hey everyone!

Molly & Jake's wedding last weekend was absolutely stunning! The ceremony at Thorncrown Chapel was perfect, and included their sweet pups. Their reception at the Crescent Hotel was beyond fabulous. With dinner under a tent in the fountain gardens & dancing in the Conservatory Molly & Jake's guests shared a wonderful evening with the happy newly weds!
Today, I'm going to share their ceremony with you. Danielle Davis captured the special moments of their day perfectly, and here are just a few of my favorites...

For Pets on Your Wedding Day

If it was possible, our dogs would have been included in our wedding day. Many couples want their pet to be the ring bearer or at least to be included in a few photos. I've seen many ways to dress up your pet for the big day, but none quite as cute as this DIY Bride pearl collar.

What you need:
Embroidery Thread
Large Faux Pearls (these are 18mm, ordered from ebay)
Sturdy Needle
Double Faced Satin Ribbon matching your wedding colors
Plastic Clasp

It seems simple enough, but full instructions are posted on the DIY Bride website. Imagine the adorable photos of you in your wedding gown with your pooch!!!
