Deck the Halls

If you have met me for more than five minutes, you know that I LOVE Christmas!! Heck, I even had a Christmas themed wedding! Because of the wedding, I had some new decorations to put up this year for our house. First, we had a ton of garland. This is from the first day of decorating for the wedding

 We took all of that garland and put it around the hall

When we went through it a few weeks ago, Chris and I decided to use it for our Christmas decorating.

We put the majority of it around the outside of our house

It went all the way up our driveway

 It fit perfectly. It looks so pretty and is very unique.

Our front door and "Merry Christmas" sign that my best friend, Lauren, and her husband gave us as a wedding gift.

We also used some of the garland and big ornaments to decorate inside the house

We had Christmas dishes from the main table at the wedding as well as a Christmas teapot, platter, and mugs that we registered for our wedding. I've always wanted to set up my dining room to look like a nice Christmas dinner was about to happen. I did my best and set the table

 The two ornament balls hanging in the window are what my flower girls carried up the aisle.

 I like that we are using parts of our wedding in our Christmas decor because it reminds me of our special day and it also gave me a good excuse to get rid of my old and cheap-looking Christmas decorations from years before.


In my next post, I will display our Christmas card!! YEA!!
