Ruffled®

Colors can be so emotional, and I’m pretty sure this wedding is proof of that – the colors are joyous, fun and summer-like! Dillon and Michelle got married at her parents’ house with lots of antiques and beauty surrounding them, and the result is stunning. Does the DIY photobooth wall look familar? It was a labor of love of Michelle and Dillon. These lovely images are from the wonderful Stacie and Geoff of Lang Photographers!

From the bride: For my wedding I envisioned a backyard wedding filled with old, vintage antiques. Nothing too fancy or formal in any way. A casual setting, that will allow family and friends to have a memory never forgotten.

The little things and details that you think are so important, end up not mattering as much as you think they will in the end. Just enjoy being engaged! It’s not worth getting all worked up, because you will laugh that you were making such a big deal about it later.

Today I have a gorgeous DIY backyard wedding to share with you, starting with the wedding portraits. Matt and Angie of Sloan Photographers with the help of Josh Snyder shot gorgeous pre-ceremony photos of Michelle and Dillon. Love Michelle’s style — the halo, the chunky bracelet, those gorgeous yellow heels and of course, her darling tea length wedding dress work together like a charm!

Here are some images captured by Josh:

When the ladies of Studio Nouveau told me they had a perfect wedding for Ruffled, I knew it was going to be a fun one! Lara says “We literally said to each other when we got there: “RUFFLED”, and she is oh so right. Amy and Sean live in Brooklyn, but chose to marry in Northern New Hampshire as the perfect backdrop for a New England wedding. More from Lara of Studio Nouveau: We just couldn’t get over her perfect 50′s dress and hair, and all her red, blue and yellow details. It was in the woods of NH at Rockywold Deephaven and Amy & Sean (from Brooklyn) were very true to the natural vibes there!

Corinne of What a Day! Photography sent over what to me is considered the most fun, boho chic bridal shower! Hawaii could be the one to blame for such a chic laid back vibe. What else do you need besides a glass of bubbly and friends? Love the idea of incorporating lawn games such as croquet.
