</div>i'm sure some of you have seen this coming - well it's pretty obvious, since I'm not around posting anymore. but when i started c is for charmed i never really had any intention of anyone reading it. i was just looking for a place to store inspirations and to have something i could look back on when the wedding was over.<br />
<br />
and while yes, i could continue this blog with what is relevant in my life now i feel that's unfair to the readers who have come here looking for wedding inspiration. and i don't want to let you down with a post every now and then.<br />
<br />
so consider this chapter closed and we're on to the next... come visit me on my new blog, <a href="http://courtandhudson.com/">court + hudson</a>, where i share a little bit of what i'm loving everyday. and hopefully bigger things will be in store for <a href="http://courtandhudson.com/">court + hudson</a> very soon!<br />
<br />
cheers-<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">and i guess that's it!! it's been almost three months since the wedding ended, and i still miss it. it's just one of those really amazing days in your life that shouldn't be clouded with wedding dresses and sit down dinners and perfection - <i>it should be about the two of you</i>.<br />
that's what makes it all count.<br />

(and a lot that weren't captured!) from menus to lace votives, a "sweet love" candy bar to the wedding tree, it's what made our wedding very special. and you'll see that many of the weddings i've featured here inspired some of the elements (the wedding tree, yes i totally copied, but spread the love, it's a great idea!)<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">so our circle seating arrangement was a bit smushed, and with the sun, the guests were a bit warm (we were in a greenhouse after all!) , but we loved every minute of it. i'm sorry i don't have many detail shots of the ceremony... the fan programs i spent hours designing, gluing and crafting, the sheperd's hook aisle runners filled with playful wildflowers and the bushels of hydrangeas that surrounded the heart of our ceremony - but sadly, these little details did not get captured! <br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">our ceremony focused on unity, which is why our family and friends surrounded us in a circle as we stood among them.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">while i'd like to say it was the perfect "75 degrees & sunny" august day i was hoping for, it wasn't. it was COLD and rainy... and i woke up to a transmitter dying. yes, the day started with no power at my parent's house! not the biggest deal, but moving to my grandmother's house for hair and make-up left us with little time for those "getting ready" photos. here are a few we managed to get right as the power came back on, and right before we had to leave for the botanical gardens.<br />
