We are suckers for anything hand made. There is something incredibly special about weddings with beautiful details that are put together with a little bit of inspiration and a whole lot of love.  So, when Katie Lewis Photography, Inc. and some talented Fargo, North Dakota wedding vendors gathered together to show brides and grooms how to make their barn yard wedding extra special we jumped on it. Most everything you see here was put together by Katie.

Katie did an over the top job arranging the adorable flowers in vintage mason jars which is always a crowd pleaser. She called on her Grandmother to whip up some homemade pies (apple, cherry & lemon meringue) and the individual pies-in-a-jar (strawberry) were all made with love by her Granny. Thanks to her mom for providing the silverware and china. Just a great example that you can get a little help from your friends and family to pull off something incredible.

We have a huge crush on Joy Harmon Prouty of Wildflowers Photography and we are over the moon to share her next wedding with you. If you recall, we actually featured Rochelle and Bobby’s darling engagement shoot.  Inspired By Their Love Of Children was the theme of the engagement shoot which naturally carried on to their wedding decor and was actually styled by Wildflowers Photography as well. Talk about a jack of all trades.

Rochelle and Bobby wanted their wedding to be fun, creative, personal, handmade, inexpensive and a theme based upon all things childlike. They also firmly believed that it should be a day celebrating their love for God and their childlike joy in waiting on His timing in bringing the two of them together.

From Wildflowers Photography on the creative touches of the day:

Pinwheels made out of children’s book pages, paper chains, painted cardboard clouds, quilts hanging as backdrops, hundreds of old time candies, paper flowers, chalkboard artwork, cupcakes topped with fruit loops, gummy worms and sprinkles, a dinner catered by an in & out truck, a cotton candy machine, multicolored paper crowns, handmade boutonnieres with kites colored by my Gracie, paper “leaves” cut from an old Cinderella storybook and a lollipops, 20 pairs of converse sneakers and one fantastic hand made swing set.

We are so excited to share Michelle and Troy’s Washington country style wedding with you! There are so many special details to this day, and Melissa Tomeoni of Soul Mates Photo was so kind to share with us.

There are so many fun facts about their special day, read on to hear all about them.  First, Michelle’s dad artfully created her alter by hand. After the ceremony and the fun began, Michelle toasted her new husband with a shot of Jack. Can you imagine Michelle and her sister speeding around the dance floor to the electric slide? Super cute for sure! I’m not sure which of these elements make my skin tingle and my heart smile but all of them have a dash of country and a whole lot of fun.

The bridesmaids were adorned in cowboy boots, crochet dresses and bouquets complete with wheat. The bride not only boasted her engagement ring but a promise ring made to resemble a horses bit. The guys looked ruggedly handsome in their cowboy boots, hats and belt buckles and while drinking from canning jars. Over the top, just how we like it.

Michelle and Troy married at the Wine & Roses Country Estate the perfect setting for a country style wedding. As guests arrived they perched on hay bales and the isle runner was made of canvas. Michelle’s dad drove her to the aisle in his classic pickup and she left in her new husband’s raised truck. A perfect exit for a backyard country wedding.

Meghan and David had a small budget and less than six months to plan their Atlanta wedding. With the gracious help from family and friends they were able to pull off their dream wedding. Meghan dove right in and created most of the wedding projects on her own. At times she was overwhelmed, but knew that the money she was saving and the rewards of DIY wedding projects would outweigh the stress. Photographed by Atlanta wedding photographer, Jeremy of Harwell Photography.

From the bride on her DIY projects: To start, I drew an oak tree that would be on our programs and party favors. My desire was to create an environment that was elegant, yet airy and whimsical. The venue was at my dear friend’s home. The setting was perfect for the vision and theme of the wedding. I spent time studying inspiring wedding blogs and etsy, which expanded my vision. My wonderful Aunts and friends did all the flower arrangements, bouquets and centerpieces and made the delicious cakes.

We are overjoyed that you stopped by our wedding blog for part deux of  Amanda and Jeremy’s San Diego citrus delight. Not only do we have all the lemon lime wedding details for your viewing pleasure, but we also have their wedding film to show you. Captured by seriously talented Nick Bowser of Crafthouse Productions. We must warn you that if you watch this be prepared to shed some major tears.  Captured by the incredible  La Vie Photography!

Amanda and her sister Amy collaborated together to design all the florals and boutonnieres. Possibly they missed there calling as florists? Jeremy and his Dad brewed the beer for all the guests, and I am sure you noticed the utterly adorable custom labels they whipped out that seamlessly blend with their lemon and lime decor. We love those personal DIY touches!

Be sure to grab a tissue and watch Amanda and Jeremy’s wedding film. A special thanks to Danny Roberts of www.igorandandre.blogspot.com for writing the beautiful music for this movie.
