{Real Wedding} Tina & Derek: Homespun Outdoor Lovebird Wedding

Some weddings are so reflective of the couple being married, and this wedding is one of those.  This couple wanted a wedding that would reflect their laid-back style and their love for the outdoors.  The bride weaved the idea of 'lovebirds' in many of the details.  The centerpieces, cake stands, garlands and signs were all DIY.  Birds were found on the vintage hanky invitations, on each table name, and the bookmarks that served as escort cards.  They couple were married at a campground overlooking a lake and incorporating the outdoors as their backdrop.











Instead of clinking glasses, guests hoola hooped to get the couple to kiss!

How did you make your wedding YOU?  From Tina:

 I honestly don't even know where to begin!  Every last detail of our wedding was very personalized, from the hankie invitations to the choreographed first dance.  Derek and I wanted to take the sometimes "stuffy" and overly traditional aspects of weddings and make them more casual to reflect our laid-back personalities.  The campground was a perfect opportunity to do this, especially since we both love the great outdoors!

{Real Engagement} Devon & Jay: Rustic Canadian Outdoor E-Session

This e-session is so authentically Canadian it makes me want some maple syrup or a Labaat Blue!  Devon and Jay wanted to incorporate all the things they loved, snow shoeing on their 5 acre property in the country, their dog Chloe, the bench where Jay popped the question, the snow, their love for all things outdoors and of course their love for one another!








I think Chloe deserves her own photo shoot.


I love this old green building.





This is the bench where Jay proposed!

Inspiration 219: Modern Rustic

After spotting this wedding, I thought a modern rustic board was definitely necessary!  I love how the modern, clean lines pop against the rustic elements of this board.  I think the bridesmaids in a LBD really bring a modern touch too.   For this board I kept with a mainly black and white color palette with a few pops of green!

{Real Wedding} Melissa & Ross: Rustic DIY Texas Wedding

This outdoor Texas wedding was a DIY labor of love by the whole family.  The bride's mother made all of the bouquets out of silks; moss, burlap squares, lanterns, candles, and river rocks were used to make the centerpieces; the bride and groom's mothers made the eight foot long 'celebrate' sign; and the groom's sister and boyfriend painted the signs used to guide the guests.  


Don't you love these shoes?

Yes, these are homemade silk flowers.  They look so real!



Texas wedding = bridesmaids in cowboy boots!


















Love this shot!

I love a wedding that is also a good party, and this looks like a great one!  

How did you make your wedding "YOU"?

From Melissa:
I made it 'me' by just having it at my parent's ranch...which is my favorite place in the world and I've always known that I wanted to get married there. I love being able to see the stars so having an outdoor reception was perfect so that we could enjoy them that night (I live in Houston so I never see stars). I always envisioned it to be very simple yet different, and I think all of our small details really portrayed that.
