Wedding Celebration - Flower Girl Take 2

Last Saturday, Turner was the flower girl for the wedding of two sweet friends from church.  She does love any opportunity to dress up and be fancy, and I was proud of how well she did with a few distractions that come with outdoor weddings.  (Such as geese flying in to land in the pond behind her while they were reciting their vows.)

I also directed the wedding, which was a first for me!  Despite the heat and a quick rain shower about an hour and a half before the ceremony, the wedding went off without a hitch and the weather held off and provided us with a beautiful evening for a celebration. 

My beautiful sweet girl.

Turner and Jackson are big buddies and they were just tickled to get to do this together.  They had their own table all to themselves at the rehearsal dinner with real plates, silverware, and a flower arrangement.  They giggled through the entire dinner and played "I spy", which was too cute. 

Check out the curls in this picture, taken about 4:45pm.  Then take a look at the hair in the last picture below, taken at around 8:00pm.  Gotta love that summer-in-Alabama humidity!

This picture makes me smile because this was how they posed themselves.  We didn't tell them to hug, just get on the podium and smile.  You can tell the enjoy one another!

This is Turner's standard pose when she sees a camera these days!

The beautiful view at dusk.   The wedding was at the Alabama Farmers Pavilion (known by me as the little red barn on Auburn's campus).

Smiling with Daddy. I wish I knew how to photograph better in this extreme low light setting.  I tried everything I knew to avoid a flash, but could not get them in focus without it being blurry.  Mark was such a trooper for this wedding weekend - on the day of, he got Turner dressed and delivered to me for hair "fixing" and pictures.  Then he stayed around to help before, during, and after the wedding.  He is always such a huge help to me!
