Budget Friendly Backyard Wedding

Athena and Jeremy wanted their wedding to reflect who they are as a couple and stick to their budget. Athena found her dress at a small boutique in Eastern Washington a month before the wedding. It was the only dress she tried on and of course it fit perfectly. Talk about meant to be!

In order to stick to their budget, they choose a friend’s backyard for the celebration. Athena and Jeremy wanted that family picnic feeling, so they used a friend’s collection of vintage table cloths and mason jars for vases. The flowers for the vases and wedding were purchased from Pike’s Place Market that morning by family and friends. The whole day turned out perfectly and was beautifully captured by The Leekers.

The bride and groom decided to have friends leave a fingerprint on their wedding tree in two shades of green. They had it framed and is currently hanging in their living room, a sweet reminder of their lovely day! A fun and unique wedding guest book idea that is easy to make and budget friendly.

  9. It’s amazing what can turn out when people work together for those they care about! The little details from the wedding and reception really worked out. The Leekers did an awesome job with pictures! They not only captured the beauty but the heart of the wedding! Glad I was there and was able to share this moment.

  10. LOVE this wedding! Kudos for an awesome DIY success. Made to look effortless, but I’m sure a lot of thought and work were involved. I just did my own DIY wedding and was really missing living in Seattle, b/c I remember how amazing the selection and price of the Pike Place flowers are! Lucky girl! :) Congrats! PS>> Gorgeous dress & shoes- you looked beautiful!
