DIY North Carolina Wedding: Handmade Charm & Rustic Elegance

Share

Outdoor wedding ceremony with bride, groom, and guitarist

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the laid back North Carolina wedding of Addie and Chris, which took place at Addie’s grandfather’s house in Ramseur, NC. The entire event only had one wedding vendor, Carisa Chee Photography and the rest was handmade by Addie.
She created the invitations, the ring pillow, and the flower girl’s basket. She sculpted two adorable gnomes out of clay to use as toppers for the cake her mother-in-law baked. She sewed the bridesmaids dresses and built the structure that held twinkle lights and surrounded her guests while they ate the home cooked meal her family had prepared. They baked little pies for each guest to take home as a sweet gesture. Talk about a homemade wedding!
