They all looked so beautiful! One of my bridesmaids made all of our flowers and the bouts, she did such a great job on them!!
Applying the final touches...

1 cup all-purpose flour
3 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. sugar, divided
3/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
5 tbsp. cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1/2 cup plain whole milk yogurt
*Note – this recipe can be doubled easily by baking in a 9×13- inch baking dish and increasing the baking time for both the peaches and the assembled cobbler about 5 minutes each.
Directions:
Adjust an oven rack to the lower-middle position. Preheat the oven to 425° F. For the filling, peel the peaches and then cut each into 8 wedges, removing the pits as you go. Gently toss the peaches and sugar together in a large bowl and let stand for 30 minutes, tossing several times. Drain the peaches in a colander set over a bowl. Whisk together 1/4 cup of the drained juice with the cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt in a small bowl. Toss the peaches with the juice mixture and transfer to a 8-inch square glass baking dish. Bake until peaches begin to bubble around the edges, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the biscuit topping. In the food processor, combine the flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Pulse to combine. Scatter the butter over the flour mixture and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal, about ten 1-second pulses. Transfer to a medium bowl; add the yogurt and toss with a spatula until a cohesive dough is formed. (Be careful not to overmix.) Break the dough into 6 evenly sized but roughly shaped mounds and set aside.
After the peaches have baked 10 minutes, remove the peaches from the oven and place the dough mounds on top, spacing them at least 1/2-inch apart (they should not touch). Sprinkle each mound with the remaining sugar. Bake until the topping is golden brown and fruit is bubbling, 16-18 minutes. Cool on a wire rack until warm, about 20 minutes; serve.
One of my bridesmaids showed up with tasty treats in hand!
While us girls were busy playing with flowers (and my mind was going a bajillion miles an hour), the groomsmen and some of my college besties helped set up tables, chairs, centerpieces and the sound system.
It was during this time, I started getting a lot of questions about how we wanted everything laid out and I decided it was a perfect time to go hide inside and work on our cupcake trees :)

Ok, so the picture is not great, but the sauce really was good!
Tomorrow, she will be taking her senior pictures with the incredibly talented Jenny Jimenez. Where does the time go?
Maybe one day in 60 years, our grandkids will say no one makes homemade fresh tortillas like their grandma :)
Homemade Flour TortillasCombine the flour, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl. Add the shortening and hot water, mixing until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into 16 small pieces (or 6-9 large pieces) and shape each into a ball. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for 15-20 minutes.
On a floured surface, using a floured rolling pin, roll out each ball one at a time to a 6-inch (or 8-10) circle.
Heat a griddle until hot. Place a tortilla on the griddle and cook until the bottom is lightly browned in spots, 1 to 2 minutes; the tortilla will puff up. Turn and cook until lightly browned in spots on the second side. Place in a towel-lined basket and cover with the towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining tortillas.
Serve immediately.
Excuse my amateur photography - I have no idea what I'm doing!!
Husband is going to be so jealous. He (and his family) love, and I mean LOVE HD. Lucky for him, my cw didn't look at the size and it happens to be a men's large and I'm a nice wife.
A little bit shorter, but would definitely work with my curly hair:
And I really like this one, with bangs:
So, should I do it??
