Happy Monday, DIY-ers!  Was there some kind of football game yesterday?  I was too busy swooning over this pretty DIY wedding.  I do love my job ….

Lauren and Brandon held their summer afternoon wedding at the church in Florida where they met.  After their wedding they hosted a short casual reception at the church hall where they served desserts prepared by family and friends.  The bride wanted a “vintage picnic” feel, so for decor the bride’s aunt made bunting from old pieces of fabric that had belonged to the bride’s “Mamaw” and they were displayed across a vintage desk which doubled as their welcome table.

Lauren’s grandfather made the ladder that served as the alter, and Lauren’s dad performed the ceremony.

For their guest “book,” the couple asked guests to sign river rocks they had collected over time.

Lauren even decorated her own TOMS shoes!  Impressive!

After their reception, the couple and their photographer Ashley Daniell Photography headed to Three Rivers State Park for some AMAZING portraits of the bride and groom.

Did I mention puppies were involved?  Oh yes – there were puppies.

Congrats Lauren and Brandon!
