DIY Rose Garden Wedding

Stacy and Andrew kept trying to come up with a theme for their wedding day and simply could not nail one down. After a while they just started picking things they really liked and reflected them as individuals and a couple. That’s how they came to have music from the video game Final Fantasy for the ceremony and having the officiant read from an iPad.  Other than that, the main theme was a relaxed and relatively casual environment to gather and have fun with family and friends.

Extra love to onelove photography for sharing this Rose Garden Wedding with us.

Some advice from Stacy to those of you planning a wedding right now:

Don’t buy too much early into planning.  I saw so many great ideas when I first started that I wanted to do them all. I bought the materials and then it didn’t fit in with anything else I was doing, I changed my mind or I just ran out of time. Also, take care of as much as possible before the wedding day. I spent a lot of time prior making sure all the projects were done, people knew where to be, etc. and if anything went wrong or didn’t get done the day of, I knew I had already done everything I could so there was no point in worrying or having regrets. Having a great point person is also key.

  1. I ADORE the fact that these two could toss the idea of having a standard theme wedding, and came up with their own! Those weddings always turn out to be the best ones…and this is no different. So sweet :)
