Handmade Utah Wedding at a Pink Cottage

A short lace wedding dress sewn by your mother and marrying your beau outside a little pink cottage — does it get better than this? Brooke Schultz Photography, Charming Details, and Flower Afternoon put together some of their best work to bring us Kendra and Jeff’s wedding day, which is full of sweet little details but still intimate enough to feel like a heartfelt get-together among friends.

From the photographer, Brooke Schultz Photography: Kendra and Jeff wanted their wedding day to be completely relaxed, without stress so they could drink in every moment. So, they opted to have the reception the day before! They filled their wedding with sweet, handmade details, like Kendra’s wedding dress sewn by her mother, the ‘love you always’ patch added by Kendra on the back of Jeff’s tie, and the guestbook hand painted by the bride’s sister.

Kendra + Jeff found the perfect venue in This is The Place’s Brigham house, an adorable pink cottage with a gazebo fit for dancing. Vintage with a modern twist, Emmily with Charming Details and Val with Flower Afternoon created an old door backdrop prettied up by a floral garland. Guests took photos for the guest book in front of it and it did double duty for some beautiful bride and groom portraits as well. Despite the fact that it rained cats and dogs both days of their wedding celebration, they weren’t bothered and let themselves truly enjoy their wedding.
