We've mentioned before about all the effort and attention to detail that Leezar put in to making her wedding day that little bit more personal and unique. To round up all the romantic posts about Leezar's big day here are some of the professional shots taken on the day of all the handmade details which Leezar came up with and made herself (with the help of her 6 bridesmaids and husband!). The order of service (above) featured the apple tree motif which was part of the theme of the wedding, along with the phrase 'The Apple of My Eye'.

The above image is of a place setting, each guest received a CD of Corey and Leezar's favourite songs and a Dandi Fabric Origmai Treasure box filled with heart shaped chocolates. We like how the photographer chose to shoot 'Nan's' spot! Cute!

The pin board which Leezar put together to match in with the chocolate and red theme of the wedding. Guests left their messages on the board for Leezar and Corey to keep, the cards were kept in the cute apple container.

Tall vases of apples for the centre pieces on each table, looks like someone had a taste sample of this one!

And finally here we all are dolled up. Caroline, Leezar, Mindi and Manuela

Say cheese!
