Our Wedding: The Ultimate What We Bought Where

Happy Monday everyone!

Today I'm sharing a huge post of what we bought where for our wedding. I know that I often am curious where people buy things and I wanted to make sure we shared in case anyone wants to know!

This is going to be a huge post full of a lot of links but just remember I purchased every item with my own money and the views expressed in this post are 100% my own.

First up, my wedding dress. 

I wanted a super simple wedding dress and this dress delivered but also made me feel like a real life princess! I purchased this dress at Alexandra's Boutique in Fall River MA. There is no designer on the dress so I'm not even sure who it's by but I absolutely loved it. Alexandra's has a million different types of dresses so I highly recommend it as the place to shop for your dress. The sparkly belt came on the dress as well and I absolutely loved the sparkle.

I purchased these robes from the Etsy shop the fancypidgeon. The listing for them is here. I ordered seven blush robes with letter embroidery on the front for each of my bridesmaids and one white robe with "Mrs. Gooding" on the back for myself.

Also my earrings are shown in this picture and they were also purchased at Alexandra's Boutique during my accessories appointment.

My hairpiece was one of my all time favorite parts of my outfit and was purchased at Alexandra's Boutique. My hairdresser Kayla made it work perfectly and I wish my hair looked like this every day!

All our bouquets were fake! They were purchased from Afloral.com and the exact link is here. I ended up cutting the two little buds off the top and no one was the wiser. I was adamant about not spending money on real flowers and I'm so glad I stuck with my gut and saved that money.

Also in the picture you can see our wedding bands which we purchased on James Allen. It's also where my engagement ring came from!

The girls all bought their bridesmaid dresses at David's Bridal. The dresses I picked for them were in steel blue and can be found here.  I thought the color was gorgeous and the length was perfect since they didn't have to worry about the dress flying around like crazy in the wind.

Our place cards were sand dollars that my mom purchased I believe at Christmas Tree Shop. I used twine that I found at Michaels and printed every guest name on cardstock on our own printer.

This Happily Ever After Starts Here sign came from either Marshalls or TJ Maxx. During the summer there was a whole wedding section which was great to browse!

Our programs were just printed on cardstock at home and the teal and white basket came from Target.

We had a few chalkboard easels that we used for various signs and they were all purchased at Michaels. I found that Michaels was a great place for many wedding items! I would highly recommend checking it out if you plan on doing any DIY projects.

Tim's suit was custom made through Jos. A Bank. He picked the color, style and everything with a stylist named Jack who was awesome. He also bought his shoes and shirt from Jos. A Bank but ordered the ties and pocket squares for him and his groomsmen from The Tie Bar. 

The Mr & Mrs sign came from Marshalls/ TJ Maxx and was one of my favorite decor pieces. The starfish that were scattered throughout our ceremony were picked up by my mom from The Christmas Tree Shop. 

The centerpieces were made of pieces from Michaels. The vases and sand came from Michaels and the white unscented candles came from Walmart. 

In background you can see my sparkly clutch which came from DSW. I loved it and honestly thought it was worth it to hold my lipstick and phone throughout the night.

See those yellow dice? They were purchased from Amazon and were great for the game we played. If you are looking for oversized dice these are definitely inexpensive and worth it.

Our ring bearers carried these briefcases from The Knot which I absolutely loved! Their sunglasses were purchased by Tim on Knockaround.

All of the groomsmen wore suits that were rented from Jos A. Bank. Their ties and pocket squares were from The Tie Bar.

The flower girl dresses were purchased from Target and all three girls looked so adorable!

The flower girl baskets came from Amazon. The listing for them is here and I loved how simple they were. The girls seemed to enjoy carrying them around and filling them up with sand and dumping flowers out of them.

Our favors were Photo Booth photo magnets that I found on Amazon. They were great and people really seemed to like them! We also have a ton of leftovers so that means we can put all sorts of photo booth pictures on our fridge.  

Our table numbers were printed offline and placed in frames that I found at Kohls. I picked the color Robin's Egg Blue and thought they looked great with all the other blues and beachy colors we had going on. 

Our cake came from Scrumptions and our white cake stand came from HomeGoods. I am glad we had a super simple cake stand because it really made all the sand crumbles stand out!

The trays we filled with sand and used for our place cards all came from HomeGoods during a very lucky shopping trip!

The frame on the table held one of our engagement pictures and came from Marshalls/ TJ Maxx.

Our guestbook was made from a family friend who has her own Etsy shop.  I love it and am so glad we had it made!

Our cardbox was made by my brother and I purchased the decal for it off Etsy. 

I have previously posted a couple Wedding Hauls which you can find here and here.  In these posts you can see closer up shots of everything that we purchased.

If you are looking for what shoes I wore during the ceremony you can see them in this post.  If you are looking for the shoes I wore during the rest of the night you can see them here. During that post I also shared the container we used for our guestbook markers and a closer look at the chalkboard signs. 

I also previously shared the gifts I purchased for everyone in the following posts:

My Parents

My Bridesmaids

I think that's everything! If you are looking for anything else revolving around our wedding you can find every post I've ever written surrounding it here. If you have any questions about anything feel free to leave me a comment or e-mail me, I'm always happy to answer :) 

Our Wedding: Dinner, Dessert and Dancing

Happy Monday!

Today I'm sharing my very last wedding recap with you guys! I am planning on doing one last wedding post which will be an ultimate guide of what we bought where- so stay tuned for that coming up soon.

Before we get started just remember that all of the images in this post were taken by Carissa at Ella Grace Photography and please do not alter her work or use it in any way.

I also would like to mention I mostly included pictures of only close family and bridal party. You'll see other people in the background but I tried to include mostly friends and family that most likely won't mind their picture being on the internet. 

After we finished our first dance and speeches we sat down to eat dinner. We had a buffet provided by Blackstone Catering and it was delicious! I was a huge fan of the penne vodka pasta, while Tim tried some of everything. 

Emma was clearly loving the penne vodka too! I'm telling you right now, I was not the star of this show...the babies were. That's totally okay with me though, these kids are so adorable.

And their parents are pretty cool too! I love that my best friends have such awesome husbands that get along with my husband. We always have such a good time when we all hang out together and I feel so blessed to have them all in my life.

I am also so thankful that my Papa was there for this day. He is my only living grandparent and it meant so much that he was there. He also has a wonderful partner in Vivian who has been part of our family for a long time now.

I had a great immediate family table, including my cousin Andrew who was a huge part of my childhood. He spent most summers with us and I was so happy to put him right up front. My brother wasn't at the table for this picture and his friend Nick who came was also up but they also sat there.

These ladies look so gorgeous in this picture! I tried to keep bridal party members together. I put my friends with kids at one table and my other bridesmaids who didn't at another table. I also tried to keep people who knew each other together.

This child danced her butt off. She danced when no one else was, she danced while everyone surrounded her, she danced until she was exhausted. She also became obsessed with the bouquet of flowers and ended up stealing mine!

Such a cutie.

These two are so much fun! We hang out with them pretty regularly and are so glad that they live so close to us and were such a big part of our wedding day.

We love these people! They are so much fun :)

Check out this mother daughter dancing duo! They had a blast twirling on the dance floor.

How cute is Tilly's expression?! She is loving life!

Tim and I made a point to visit with every single table. We even made a point to double back to tables where we missed people. This is one of the few pictures we got while we worked our way around and I love that we got to take this picture with the Raduazzo's! They are such a fun family and Laura and I have had the pleasure of being invited to so many of their family parties over the years. Tim and I are looking forward to Kelsey and Eamon's wedding in July!

This picture kills me- Parker is just the cutest thing.

My lovely mother-in-law and sister-in-law!

Tilly is the most serious little girl and will study you like crazy but she has so many other cute expressions when she finally comes around! Look at those teeth too- I can't believe how big she is, she just turned two but I still think of her as a little baby.

My goodness these boys are hilarious. They danced the whole night (when they weren't in the Photo Booth!) and kept teaching everyone how to floss. I think they did the floss pretty much the whole weekend.

Me with my new father-in-law!

My best friends, I am so lucky to have two such wonderful women only a text away every second!

My dad and I danced to My Girl and we chatted the whole time about how weird it is to dance while everyone watches you. He is such an amazing dad and I'm so lucky to have him!

Next Tim danced with his mom to Days Like This.

 Dancing with our parents is what officially kicked off the dancing for the night and our guests didn't hesitate to get out on the dance floor!

Emma was the first one out there. I told you, I don't think she stopped dancing all night.

The boys and their grammy hitting the dance floor!

Tilly loved dancing with her mom and dad!

I love the pictures that Carissa took with the lights coming through. You can really see the movement in them and the high energy!

She just danced and danced! The poses that Carissa got were just too much!

Callan flossing which is his main dance move!

This pose is just too much!

Brittni told me Emma kept talking about practicing her dancing and she didn't think much of it, until she saw her breaking it down on the dance floor!

While Emma spent her time dancing on the floor, Tilly preferred to be in mom or dads arms dancing!

Learning to floss from Callan!

Stopping to visit with my mom and dad! They both were enjoying socializing with everyone who came.

Rachel and Ant enjoying dancing. I think this was after Tilly went home to bed and they officially had no responsibilities!

Megan and Josh dancing away!

I got three new siblings! It's pretty cool that Tim is from such a big family.

I loved our sweetheart table. If you are debating what to do, put yourself at a sweetheart table not with other people. It makes life simpler for you and gives you some privacy when you want to take a minute to sit together.

We didn't serve our cake but still wanted one for pictures so we had Scrumptions create a beachy one for us. I love that I was able to keep the Adirondack chairs for decor in our house and we were able to eat cake for days afterwards!

It was such a delicious cake!

Surrounding myself with such an amazing group of women has been one of the greatest things I've done. The girls I've been friends with forever and the ones I've made since meeting Tim are all people who constantly build you up and make you feel good about yourself.

They are the ones you can sing with...

and dance all night with! (We are totally performing Bye Bye Bye at this point)

I love how fun they all are and I hate that some of them I don't see very often!

Parker got into her jammies and hung out in her wagon while she waited to go home.

I think this picture of Derek and Ally is so cute! 

Little sister got kicked out of her wagon so Emma could play on her iPad and lounge.

She seemed okay with it though!

Just lounging with her iPad and brand new bouquet!

Our desserts were done by Blackstone Catering. I heard several people absolutely loved the cupcakes.

Personally the s'mores bites were my favorite!

But the cupcakes do look really good!

I love this picture because in the madness I clearly had something to tell Tim that was funny so we stopped in the middle of everything.

 It was such an amazing night and I couldn't have asked for a better wedding. These are my people and I love that all of them were there to celebrate.

Thanks for spending your time looking at a million picture-heavy posts of the most amazing day <3
