Bryan and Melissa's Wedding

Jake's brother (Bryan) got married on Saturday, July 6th, 2013

We definitely started off our 4th of July with a bang!

Wedding guests started arriving the weekend before and it was just... crazy

I'm not gonna lie and say things were all peachy. It's a wedding.

When does that ever happen? It doesn't. 

The 450 mini cupcakes that they had at their wedding?...

.....Were made by yours truly 

These cupcakes were vanilla with a chocolate hazelnut frosting, made from scratch.

The frosting that is.

They also had edible pearls on them.

These cupcakes were chocolate with a buttermilk frosting, made from scratch.

Again... The frosting made from scratch. Not the cupcakes.

And of course, edible pearls. 

My friend (Cari) helped me w/the piping and baking.

I could not have done it w/o her. 

My sisters were also around to help w/the baking & reception set up.

The wedding was a country western, vintage theme.

They used tan/brown, mint green, and yellow for their colors and lilies, roses and sunflowers for their.... flowers, duh.

And here we all are, as Strain's, in our cowboy/girl get up

Oh it was such a warm day. Beautiful, but warm. 

We had quite the time preparing all the food and drinks at the reception.

Any time there's a wedding in the family, you better be sure Jake's parents will be some how involved in the food.

They are excellent cooks!

We all helped pitch in w/the cost of food. I'm sure Costco appreciated our business that week!

Happy wedding day, Bryan and Melissa! I always knew we'd be sisters ;)
