Cierra + Martin’s Playful Love Shoot
Sometimes, no matter how good our intentions are to be offbeat and original, we can easily get lost the inspiration of all things wedding and suddenly find ourselves walking through the woods to get that gorgeous shot when the closest thing we get to the outdoors in our everyday lives is trekking through the jungle in the new Tomb Raider game. Lucky for us, our DIY bride couples never lose sight of what’s important- YOU! Kimberly at Hand in Hand Photography has sent us Cierra and Martin’s offbeat love shoot that proves just that.
From the photographer:
Cierra and Martin are amazing. and fun. and ridiculously in love. For their engagement they wanted something totally fun and offbeat and went to the Family Fun Center in Edmonds, WA. They wanted to have a not only a kick butt session but a great EXPERIENCE.
And kick-butt it was! (I just hope Cierra’s not kicking my butt in those fantastic mint heels.) A perfectly playful and posh shoot that proves all you need is some real romance to ooze off the photos. Thanks Hand in Hand Photography capturing that, and congratulations Cierra and Martin!

Anna’s Crafty Country Tea Bridal Shower
Confession time. I’m little envious today of Anna’s besties. Anna’s shower was handmade by her incredibly crafty bridesmaids who created a pretty and feminine tea party with just a hint of burlap and country to keep it from feeling stuffy. T.C. Engle Photography was lucky enough to have grabbed one of the handmade invites and captured the divine details of the day.
In my inner circle of friends we have the kooky one, the smart one, the fashion savvy one, and since I probably take the label of the crafty one that means that I do all the work for festivities. I’m not complaining, my girls rock! I couldn’t have asked for a better set of buds. And I know I just got finished on my DIY-make-it-about- you-soapbox-speech in the last post, which I stick to like washi tape on straws, but I am a little jelly that I didn’t have fig butter and scones at my shower. Sue me.
Actually, the entire homemade spread looks delish and the fun peacock veil to honor Anna’s love of the regal birdies’ feathers is a strikingly simple addition the day. Now that I’ve swallowed my girl envy, I want to say a true congrats to Anna and her future DH Allen. Your love for each other is evident in the fab photos from T.C. Engle Photography and we wish you all the best!

Teresa + Dustin’s Coastal Coca-Cola Wedding
Welcome to the weekend fellow crafties and wedding enthusiasts! To start this party right let’s grab a nice cold Coke, and head to the beach for a late night bonfire! If that sounds good to you, then you’re going to love Teresa and Dustin’s wedding at The PostCard Inn just as much as I did. Carrie Wildes Photography has captured some sweet DIY deets and moments that are sure to make you go coastal about weddings.
From the photographer:
Dustin wore khaki pants, tan vest, and a very cool tan fedora. Teresa was simply stunning in her lace gown and starfish necklace. They did a “first touch”, not first look:-) Such a sweet and priceless moment. They whispered I love you from each side of the “barn doors” where they were separated while holding hands on the side.
I love a good signature cocktail. But when the signature cocktail doubles as your inspiration for your centerpieces and toasting glass; I am loving it even more! The burlap and shell bouts and table coverings offset the venue, coral and turquoise color scheme, and setting so well to add hint of vintage to the fabulous fall Florida day. Be sure to check out the whole gallery for some fun on the beach, hot rod trucks, and a precious pearl bracelet. Thanks Carrie Wildes Photography, and congrats Teresa and Dustin! Thank you for sharing your day with us!

Emma + Bobby’s Elegant Winter Wedding
Now that spring is in full bloom in the North East, I do the happy dance every morning when deciding which swing sets my two year old and I will go visit. But when I saw this wedding form Emily Clack Photography, I did a little winter jig for my favorite frenemy season. I might have a love/hate relationship with winter, but winter weddings I simply love! Emma and Bobby’s wintery wedding is so full of just the right amounts of cool DIY and hot Gatsby-ish style that it will give you chills and warm your heart at the same time!
I am fascinated by all the pretty paper work in this wedding. It’s almost too hard for even me to believe that these steal worthy laser cut, dip-dyed, and embossed invites are handmade. The beautiful book-page blooms complimented Emma’s beyond dazzling dress while setting the tone for the cool grey color palette of the day complete with cozy fur stoles. Oh! And the place cards! Pack my bags and call me Sally, these just made me giggle with giddiness!
Before I go on and on about everything I love form Emma and Bobby’s elegant affair, just two more words: Krispy Kreme. I would highly recommend snuggling up to all of these amazing images from Emily Clack Photography. She, Emma, and Bobby have created a gallery of DIY wedding loveliness that will send you off to a wonderland of vintage travel inspired dreams. Thank you for sharing this wedding with us. Congratulations Emma and Bobby!

Kelly + Jacob’s Fall Farm Wedding
Good morning DIY’ers! Love it or leave it the rustic wedding trend is here to stay. For anyone having taken a sip from some mason jar hater-ade, today we have a wedding today that proves that beauty of rustic weddings lies in their versatility. I, for one, love them! Rustic weddings can achieve a great balance of kitschy yet classy, and traditional yet whimsy all at the same time. It’s almost like having a short party dress and gorgeous ball gown all in one. Oh! Wait! Kelly has that too!
Riverdale Manor provided the great fall farmhouse backdrop with a great traditional indoor space. And only Tina Jay Photography could have provide such perfect documentation of the DIY fabulousness and festivities. From the photographer:
I loved that Kelly wore her custom bride sneakers during the photo portion of the day (when there was lots of walking), and for the ceremony in the grass. Then she switched into her shorter dress and HOT heels for the reception – I loved her change in outfit! Kelly and Jake are such a sweet couple.
Make sure to check out the whole gallery of Kelly’s super chic creations and her awesome double duty dress! Congratulations Kelly and Jacob! Thank you Tina Jay Photography for submitting this wedding that proves that rustic diy weddings have rightly earned their place in the wedding world!
