They had the absolute perfect day for a beach wedding! Gorgeous skies and perfect warm weather. The bride’s little brother grew up with the groom’s little brother. They knew of each other pretty early on as they had some of the same classes in middle school but they didn’t officially get together until well after college. The wedding was held right on the beach at 59th. The brides father surprised her with a beautiful white “Cinderella” carriage (NJ Carriage Company) to carry her off to the wedding ceremony and then to take her and her groom to the reception! The reception was held at the beautiful Great Bay Country Club in Somers Point. The wedding was a princess and pirate theme with purple orchids setting the scene and the band The Sensational Soul Cruisers played throughout the night. The band even moved over for the groom to sing “Then” by Brad Paisley to his new bride .

Milk Carton Haunted Houses
Use any size of carton, from an individual sized lunch carton to a half gallon. Cut out a door and some windows and cover entirely with black construction paper. Add some cute halloween stickers and glitter, maybe some candy corn and pumpkins, and you have an adorable decoration that your kids can help create. For an extra spooky touch, add an LED tealight. Create one house, or an entire village!

Boa Bats
These would make great porch decorations! Add glitter and use different colors of construction paper for a more playful effect.
