Lucia + Jacob

Posted by Khris in Real DIYers

Weddings that hone in on the elements that make a wedding truly special – the couple and their loved ones – without too much fuss and over-the-top styling (though those have a place in my heart, too!) are what resonate with me these days.

The wedding of Lucia and Jacob caught my eye not only because of its beautiful simplicity but because it broke some of the long-held wedding rules. Lucia and Jacob eschewed the never-ending 12 month+ planning routine and pulled their wedding together in 6 weeks. The requisite Saturday wedding? Nope. Theirs was held on a week day. Instead of spending tons of money to decorate their venue, they chose a local botanical garden which provided abundant natural beauty. Crafty Lucia created the couple’s invitations and did all of the flowers herself. (This is an instance when one craft project can make a huge impact. Look how gorgeous her bouquet is!)
