  • Chiara + Creighton's Shower-Filled Fall Wedding

  • If your seated, I'm just going to let you know now-- you are about to fall out of your chairs and fall in love with this next wedding.  It's okay though.  There is so much pretty in Chiara and Creighton's rainy day, that it's like gently falling into a pile of close friends.  Dreamily drifting into the Vermont autumn l[...]
  • Mary Lou + Jason’s Vintage Carnival Styled Shoot

  • Whoa!  Am I loving this job or what?!  I originally hail from the fashion world.  So that means I love a Vogue Editorial as much as I love a Glitter Chevron Invitation Tutorial.  I must secretly confess that my DIY obsession started from trying to save where I could to splurge on things I couldn’t do myself- like cloth[...]
  • Lauren + Howard's Retro-Artsy Texas Elopement

  • Well Howdy y’all. It’s me, Rachel, the new addition to the DIY Bride team.  I’m so excited to be part of such a fun and creative community!  Now that my hazing is complete, and I’ve almost gotten all the glitter and glue out of my hair, (totally kidding, these girls are awesome!)  I finally get to write my first Rea[...]
  • Melissa + Jeff

  •   There are times that we get submissions and the words of the bride are so eloquent that I just cannot do them justice with my own recap. So for the very first Wedding Wednesday of September, Melissa is providing the recap about her wedding. Please pull up a seat, and enjoy. For Jeff and I, we really wanted[...]
  • Alana + Jack

  •   We're keeping it laid-back and relaxed at the tail end of this holiday weekend. Alana and Jack had a dreamy engagement shoot in and around their home, and it's the perfect antidote for the end of summer.     DETAILS Location: California Photography: Amanda McKinnon Photography
  • Jaimee + Diego

  • I don't know what it's been about this week, but we have been all over the brightly colored weddings and today is no exception. The wedding of Jaimee and Diego is not only bright, but sweet and intimate and currently tugging on my heartstrings. They are just such a great couple, and Jaimee's mother showcased their love[...]
  • Ann + Mark

  •   Lovely sighs all around this afternoon - Chinese lanterns figure prominently in this wedding, and I love them so much. The effect is stunning. Be sure to take a beat this afternoon and check out today's wonderful Real Wedding gallery. Ann and Mark are both graphic designers, and they designed every inch of th[...]
  • Jenna + Jimmy

  •   I dig our artsy couples. Recently we've had several with design backgrounds, and it adds a little extra layer of gorgeous. Today's couple is no exception - Jenna, the bride, owns a textile company in Georgia and put her experience to work in designing her destination wedding to Jimmy in Florida.   [...]
  • Laura + Joe

  •   If you want to see the bride who can take what could be a a huge setback and spin it into a great addition to her wedding day, look no further than Laura. Apparently, a week before her wedding to Joe she pulled a ligament in her foot and had to forgo the gorgeous heels she had already selected to go with her [...]
  • Sara + Joey

  •   Happy Wednesday everyone! Thank you for being so patient as we work out the remaining kinks resulting from the hacking and subsequent rebuilding of the site. We're almost done, and moving back to a platform that works much better for us. What's especially fantastic is that this means Real Weddings are back[...]
  • April + Eli

  • Every so often everyone get a case of the Mondays, and mine are in full force today. Thankfully, today's wedding is one heck of a party, and it's just the pick-me-up I need to kick my Monday blues. April and Eli were married in Vegas, and the bride bucked traditional by wearing a rockin' red dress. It fit in well with [...]
  • Trevor + Lauren

  • All that sunshine I was so pumped up about yesterday? Sadly, it has been replaced with clouds and impending thunderstorms (weather in the Pacific Northwest is so bizarre sometimes) for the rest of the week. However, we have a stunning California beach wedding coming your way today, so all is not lost! One glance at all[...]
