We wanted the day to feel creative, comfortable, fun and like us. We both love antiques and are creative people at home and at work, so we wanted something that was completely unique to us. Our color scheme was determined by the ties my husband picked out for his groomsmen. I knew I wanted my girls to have different colored dresses, so we decided to pick the ties first and that kind of set our feel as far as invitations and other decorations went.

Any advice for brides planning their weddings now? Plan and brainstorm with your groom! My groom was amazing. If I had ideas or something I wanted to have, he made it happen and he spent the morning of our wedding making sure all the things were set up perfectly so I could just relax and get ready. It was so, so, so great. Our wedding was definitely a shared vision….although sometimes I think he carried more than his fair share of the work!
Also, people may look at you weird when you tell them you are getting married in your friend’s backyard, or that you want banana pudding instead of a wedding cake but ultimately the day is about you and your soon-to-be-husband so do whatever makes your day the happiest for you two. Don’t worry about anyone else! Enjoy the day!

oh another dream wedding inspiration! =)
great lovely work!!!
I love so much of this! All of the creativity that the bride and groom put into it and staying under a five thousand dollar budget, very inspiring! My favorite thing would have to be the location setting, the old barn and antique chairs. The whole wedding is just lovely! 🙂
The perfect wedding theme!Just like I dream about.
My favorite details are the mix of chairs & pews outside. I love the ‘feel’ that they invoke – church and my grandmother’s kitchen table – both places of great love!
LOVE the balloon decorations! Really effective.
I love the rustic textures, odd assortment of chairs, and the colorful details they added. They look like a fun couple, and this wedding was beautifully captured!
Light and colors are great, amazing work.
Nice collections for the outdoor wedding. here the wedding couples are very cute. very good decoration about the outdoor wedding. good selection of dress and place.
Ah man, where do I start. I love the balloons, love the dress, love the typography on the invites, LOVE the cute couple. Great job you guys. It turned out amazingly.
