The church was a beautiful historic building that didn't require elaborate decoration other than long stem rose bouquets on the pews which we made ourselves using Sam's flowers. She held her reception at our house, a Victorian home, so it didn't require much decorating, either. For the front porch we found some fun vintage decorations at a local thrift store. Since neither of them liked cake, they opted instead for DQ ice cream cakes which were considerably cheaper. <br /><br />The only problem we ran into was that UPS accidentally delivered the flowers to a neighbor. So we had a couple of hours frantically calling and driving around trying to find them since they have to keep refrigerated. But we found them and they were lovely.
