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.

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.

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 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.

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.

One of the best things about selecting a venue with bare bones for your wedding is that a couple gets to decorate from the ground-up according to their personal aesthetic. It can be heaven for a DIYer, and Rachel and Matt were no exceptions. Cobblestone Farm provided the space with tables and chairs, and Rachel took over everything else. She crafted all the decor for the wedding and reception, and for the tables purchased flowers from a local florist while creating the centerpieces herself.

Every so often I get hung up on a few details in a wedding that are just so great I just have to sit and stare at them, absorbing all the pretty. With Traci and John’s wedding, there are two – Traci’s dress, and the banners that hang on the back of the reception chairs. She purchased her dress and added the cap sleeves, and the banners were made with burlap from a thrift store with R’s stenciled on with black marker. They really tie the rest of the details together and set the tone for the day – that is what really phenomenal details can do.

The bride for this wedding, Michele, designed everything for her wedding – everything. Flower arrangements, centerpieces, decor, chair covers, table linens, wall decorations, napkin rings, and even her dress. The bursts of color created a day that spoke to the heart of what a wedding is – a day of love, joy, and merriment.

Fruit! Bubbles! Jam! This fruit-themed real wedding of Molly and Nate is filled with special touches. The majority of the decorations were handmade, and they created a dessert table of berries, apples, and pies instead of cakes.

Jeff and Bridget were married in an outdoor ceremony in Virginia, and the two took great pains to make sure their wedding was a casual and personalized affair. Together for almost a decade before getting married, they wanted to make sure they had time to savor the day with plenty of guests, love, food, and dancing. Bridget was also responsible for designing and crafting all the paper products for the wedding – menus, place cards, invitations, and programs. She also created the runners for the tables and arranged her own bouquet.
