Hi Bees!
I just wanted to share some pro-pictures from our recent wedding - we were hardcore DIYers for the past 3 years to make this happen! Literally everything pictured was handmade by us or our family/friend! It's amazing what a few trips to Lowe's or a hardware store can do for a wedding! Just thought some of the photos might help spark ideas... I'm happy to answer questions...and I'll be selling a few of the items too if anyone is interested - mainly the escort card clothesline and the just married sign. I posted on the Flowers board too with a few extra details on diy-ing the flowers if anyone is interested in those notes. Hope this helps someone! This website saved my little bride soul while I was planning!!!
Both links are to our photographers blog, there are two different posts
Oh my GOSH your pictures are beautiful!!! I love all of the details and you looked so gorgeous! You guys did an awesome job! Congrats!
Gorgeous!!! Your details look awesome and you are beautiful (and so happy!)
Wow. Those are some of the most beautiful pictures I've ever seen. Wow. Congrats!!
Ah, I love them! I adore white pumpkins. If we hadn't timed our wedding for a summer event, I would have *loved* a fall wedding. So pretty! You and your family/friends are so talented!
I love your pictures!! You're wedding looks beautiful!! I love the flowers and the pumpkins, so cute!! Great job on the DIY wedding!!
Thank you!!! Proof that all that hard diy work and all those nights of crafting until you cry really pay off!!
These are really beautiful. You can tell that a lot of hard work was put into the details.
The picture where you're looking over your shoulder at him during the 1st look - is my favorite. You both just look so giggly & happy. Congrats!!

Great pictures and DIY! Growing up I often had dreams of getting married in Galena - it's so beautiful there, seeing your pictures is making me want to revisit that dream 
You both look fantastic!! Congratulations!! You were seriously model-esque :)
Absolutely amazing! Great job!
I love everything at your wedding! Such amazing pictures and your DIY skills are seriously top-notch! Congrats!
You are my hero!! I especially love the pumpkins with the "I Do" and your initials!! Which site did you get your flowers from?
What is covering the pot of the mum? Is it burlap tied w/twine? I like it. Rustic. I"m getting married next October so I really like what you did.
Also, I LOVE the photo of you and hubby behind the magazines. Too cute!
Your photos are why I keep looking at wedding blogs. The joy is absolutely infectious. Congratulations! Your location was beautiful and I love the photo of the two little boys.

You look beautiful!!!! I love all of your details, especially the pumpkins! I don't know lady...this wedding looks pretty amazing....maybe you should start a wedding planning business? :)
I'm not usually into country-ish locations, but the location of your wedding was so beautiful!! And I love your dress!
Whoa!! That looks awesome!! Congratulations! You look beautiful; the decor looks beautiful; and your pictures are beautiful!!
Super inspiring - I love the fall touches, and your dress is great! You look so happy! I am definitely using your boutonnieres as inspiration!
WOW!!!!
Your wedding was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
My favourite pic was the one at your first look when he is looking at the back of your dress and you are looking back and smiling! So natural and sooooo beautiful!
You were such a beautiful Bride - congrats!
You all are too kind!! Thank you so much! Its awesome to share this with other brides who appreciate details as much as I do! Everything really turned out better than we even hoped and it was FUN!! Let's see if I can answer some questions...
The dress is by Sottero and Midgley the item number is ASM something.... It is a daily battle not to wear it to work, while I cook, work out, sleep...
The flowers are from fiftyflowers.com (carnations and dahlias) and flowerbud.com (mini callas)
And what exactly did I make...oh boy...well I didn't weave the table clothes but that's about it. We built all the centerpieces boxes, the wooden table numbers, the just married sign, some of the crates for the cupcakes, the wreath at the church, the pew bows, the boutineers, the ring bearer pillows, the programs. Seriously, 3 years is a really long engagement so we just did a bit at a time.
And yes that's just burlap and twine around the mums! Just wrap and tie! So easy a man can do it :) Burlap is cheap by the yard, we bought a lot and put it where ever we could - it was much more affordable to use squares of burlap on the tables then buy or rent any type of table runner. I'm sure you could do that with lots of fabrics!
