WR: PiP your favorite...
PiP your favorite non-person wedding photos.
Cake, decorations, shoes, bouquets, etc. Just whatever your favorites are, that don't have people in them.
Missing our little turkey.

Re: WR: PiP your favorite...
This is a gift from my mom's old boss... I can tell from the handwriting.

Aw I can only pick one? Nope, can't do it. :-P
ten-tenners' may siggy: me & mama on my wedding day
What's LittleMissNewlywed Cooking?
I love your bouquet
Though there are people holding it, I love the sign! Our Bridal Party made this with spray paint the day before the wedding and Mike and I had no idea until it was up and the first introductions of the bridal party wore football helmets (see below) and ran through it! We didn't know what it looked like until the next day when we saw this photo;
(Sorry, Tisha - there's people!
)
And our ice sculpture. Mike and I met at MetLife, hence Snoopy, holding a heart.
You asked...I have several...
Bouquet wrapped w/gma's antique lace:
We originally wanted Oscar to be our RB, but then decided against it, so this is what our RB carried:
Only b/c these d@mn things took so long to make (ps-arrangement in background wasn't left like that...it was too windy so they weren't used outside :O(
Reused at the reception:
My fav of the 3 cp type's we had:

Love these! Here's a couple from our wedding:
My bouquet (the MOH bouquet was slightly smaller version of this)
Our wedding bands on my bouquet
Cake! (Man, our cake was delicious)
And an artistic shot of our cake in the mirror (one of my favorite shots from the wedding)
I don't have my pro pic files yet, but here are some great shots courtesy of some of my guests. It's hard to choose, but here are some of my favs.....
My cake topper
My escort card turned favor table display
My room map which was first displayed next to the escort card table and then moved to the entrance of the reception room. My little sister made the whole thing for me.Our table names were places we traveled to and the corresponding picture was on the table and escort card.
I was so happy that I got some food shots!
our send-off stuff...
My bouquet with great-grandmother's hankie and watch tucked in...
The girls' shoes and flowers...
The marquee at the church...
I'll play!!!
Our gorgeous wedding ceremony venue; what a perfect day for a wedding
Champagne glasses, ready for the toast!
My incredible bouquet, which still makes me squee with joy about how gorgeous it turned out:
The view from our reception venue, with our "outdoor" centerpieces:
My favors (custom chocolate and sprinkle dipped fortune cookies with quotes from our fav TV shows and movies, in little chinese cartons):
Our rings in a dim-sum steamer basket (which was one of our food stations):
Kenna, all of your pics are absolutely gorgeous!! Love the venue!

Yay!! My turn!
Wedding shoes with my six pence glued into the shoe. My godmother lives in England and some nice lady at the Post Office happened to still have a six pence and gave it to her to send to me. So awesome!
Random picture of the make-up at the clinique counter
The girls bouquets and all the boutineers on a table at the church.
Our last name on our cake table
Another small picture of my shoes that I love
I just loved our little cake so much...
This was the view from within the building.
my sweet ride (note these are pulled off my pro's site....dont ask how
) they're kinda graney

Custom made blown glass lighthouse cake topper
champagne flutes LOVE THESE!!!!
OK LAST ONE I SWEAR
polka dot cake!!!!
cutters from my grandmother, and gotta love the glowstick bracelets that my bridesmaid lindsey brought on the trolley 
OH and the Navy blue and green polka dot bridesmaids ribbon on their bouquets!!!!!!!!!! 
Getting fit for IVF!
Everyone's pictures make me want to cry. I hated my cake so the pictures of that are simply blah and my photographer didn't take any pictures of my flowers (unless me or BMs were holding them) but I guess that's okay because the florists dropped the ball on those too. Long story short, my photog dropped the ball on getting detail pictures.
I did love how we did our table numbers (these have pictures of us in them so I don't know if they really qualify for this PIP):
Every single person that took a picture of our table numbers took pictures of this table. I guess we were especially cute when we were 3.
That's such an adorable idea... I love it.
BTW Sara - every time I see your caramel apples I start salivating.
@Hannah - the pomanders on shepherd hooks look amazing!
I have a ton of favorite non-people pictures. My photographer went a little crazy taking pictures of decor, etc. Wish she'd have spent half the energy taking pictures of the people. Anyway, here's a selection of favorites.
The bell tower of our chapel.
My yummy cake.
My bouquet. This doesn't count as a "people picture," does it?
One of our centerpieces
And finally, our rings.
Finally home and can PIP. Yay!
The Groom's Cake with the GT mascot I made:
I love love love our drink menu, that my cousin did the art for:
And our place cards:
Trying not to go too PIP crazy so I'm limiting myself to 3.
My Turn Now!!
I didn't give any special instructions to my photographer for photos, Just told him he had free range with it, to have Fun!
Our Wedding rings and my Flowers.
The glasses for toasting, with the blackberries and raspberry!
Our Guest book table, Did a photo of Us, his parents wedding photo, my parents wedding photo, and a photo of my mom, and my 'tossing' flowers
There is a pic the photog took of a spider on my dress- but i can't seem to find it- maybe i only saw it with her- it was my favorite.
Here are a few others- At the reception i took off my veil and put it on the back of my chair so I wouldn't lose it. Then after we ate DH took off his jacket and put it on the back of his chair. My lil bro snapped this cute one!

And bc I can't find the non-watermarked version of this one-here is the one from the photog

Oh no.. you asked for it!
Sigh, I love my venue so much! It's a kids summer camp that we volunteer at for a week each summer. We're one of the VERY few couples that have been allowed to get married there, and the camp has been open for over 50 years.

Our photobooth area. I let my mom loose on this, and she did such an amazing job.

Our disgustingly cute cake toppers. I love them so much. They're possibly my single favourite wedding purchase.

Not an especially pretty picture, but I SLAVED over this soup. Roasted tomato and garlic soup. Three gallons. So we're talking about 6-7 FULL roasting pans of tomatoes that I put through the food mill. Twice. Hours and hours of my life.

My MIL grew these over the summer. They're strawflowers, so they grow essentially already dried. I though I could make some stuff early (bouts, etc). I wound up putting them around the centerpieces. And the bowl is a big hammered silver bowl I got from my mom for my shower. I'm obsessed with anything hammered!

My H and his boys are huge geeks that grew up playing Magic together, and still try to get together for a guys day every couple of months. I made these:

Some random decor. There was a big stone fireplace in the same room as the photobooth.

Annnnnd finally, the thing I spent the most time on. The aisle took about 20 hours to finish. It was easy, just time consuming.

Sorry, I'm done now :P
