Kelly + Rob

Weddings that are held at home have a certain charm that you just can’t get anywhere else. Kelly and Rob had a church wedding with their reception at home, and Kelly went all out with their wedding plans. She collected all the details for the centerpieces and created the bouquets, invitations, and cake. She also put together the adorable candy buffet for guest to peruse during the reception.

Jessica + Will

Posted by whitney in Real DIYers

The wedding of Jessica and Will not only showcases one fabulous color palette (green and tangerine orange!), but one gorgeous venue and creative guest book. They were married at the Knoxville Botanical Garden and Arboretum which made for phenomenal photos, and smiles abounded. For their guest book, everyone wrote on squares of fabric which were gathered into a large quilt for the couple after the wedding.

Rick + Sarah

When the bride from today’s wedding was asked if she had any advice for the betrothed, Sarah responded “DO NOT BE AFRAID!!! Whatever you want to do . . . there’s always someone out there who shares your vision. And never be afraid to get your hands a little dirty. My most cherished keepsakes from the wedding are the handmade ones.” This advice is simple and perfect – it’s a day to celebrate you and your husband, so the wedding should speak volumes about your relationship and love for each other. Be yourself, and you can do no wrong!

Caitlin + Brandon

Caitlin and Brandon had a vintage wedding outdoors in California, and the gallery for this wedding projects such a happy and serene feeling that one can’t help but get lost in its details. Caitlin spent a year collecting all the items for the centerpieces, and put together all the floral arrangements, tablescapes, and other decor elements of their wedding day.

Leif + Amy

Posted by whitney in Real DIYers

Last week we showcased a beautiful wedding that was pulled together in four weeks, and today I wanted to switch around and present nuptials that fell towards the other end of the spectrum. Amy took her time planning and creating the elements of her wedding to Leif, and it shows in the cohesiveness of the details. Since their venue was a farm, she wanted a rustic feel and spent many hours sourcing pieces for the decor from thrift stores and even more hours crafting. A unifying theme to both of these weddings is the adherence to a color palette – Amy and Leif chose a green and brown scheme with touches of yellow. While picking colors is not always a necessity, it does provide a great framework to work within when whittling down your decor and flower options.
