Joni and Bill

I have such a fun polka dot wedding for you today! It’s the wedding of Joni and Bill which took place in North Carolina.

The couple rented a beach house (through Carolina Designs) the ceremony, presided over by Reverend Jay Bowman, was held on the beach in front while the celebration was held surrounding the pool.

Joni and Bill walked down the aisle (the nearby pier) together to “A Kiss To Build A Dream On” played on the trumpet by Joni’s cousin.

Instead of a bridesmaids and groomsmen, Joni and Bill surrounded themselves with 39 close family and friends who served as their wedding party.

Joni and Bill handmade many of their wedding details including invitations, welcome gifts for guests (buckets with a CD and gumballs) itineraries, door signs, flowers, match boxes, candy buffet and candy sacks, activity books for the attending children, place cards, match boxes to encourage guests to relight candles on the windy day, welcome signs, table cloths and carried the polka dot theme throughout. There was even polka dot wine served (which I am still dying to try and cannot find in Australia!).
