Well, they say all good things must come to an end, but even though the Katharine’s Big Day series is coming to an end, we think one good thing is just beginning.  Miss Katharine Waterman will be marrying her handsome beau tomorrow, and we couldn’t be more excited!  To join in the fun, take a look back at her journey to the altar:

We started with an inspiration board from Emily and a few very strict guidelines from Katharine.

Almost the first decision made was the bridesmaids’ dress: classic black, of course.

Katharine + Kyle are thrilled Bryan of A Bryan Photo will be joining them to document their big day.  Lara and I are excited, too!

K poured many hours into making her wedding website helpful and fun for all of the out-of-town guests (which is, after all, almost all of the guests).

The SW office took a massive trip to Kleinfeld… and Katharine said YES to a gorgeous dress.

Katharine’s inner bargainista was unleashed on the wedding’s paper products.

She thought she didn’t want flowers, but it turns out there will be beautiful blooms.

The CAKE!  Gorgeous on the outside, delicious on the inside.

Can’t forget about the groom and his men!

A custom veil, and something old, new, borrowed, and blue.

What Katharine’s looking forward to most: the ceremony.

I get by with a little help from my friends… or, Katharine does, anyway!

Note from Katharine:  I can’t thank you enough for sharing in our wedding whirlwind!  Your support, encouragement and good wishes were enough to make even the most “anti” of Anti-Brides get excited for her big day and love the planning process.  Almost love the planning process, but excited nonetheless!

Thank you, also, to my right-hand maid, Emily.  Truth be told, Emily was the driving force behind these posts and probably my single greatest asset during the past 10 months.  Emily, I was lucky to have you planning my wedding with me and am blessed to have your friendship.  How did I get so lucky?!

We can’t forget my personal florist, Lara, who will be styling the bouquets and reception centerpieces.  Not a small feat, huh?  Thank you for everything!  I can’t wait to share pictures with everyone.

And last, but far from least, thank you to my groom and best friend, Kyle.  It’s hard to imagine that Saturday will mark the fifth anniversary of our first meeting freshman year, and I couldn’t be happier to share a new anniversary with him.  Kyle, you are the very best thing in my life, and I can’t wait to start out on a new adventure together.  I love yew!
