An Outdoor DIY Lace and Vintage Barn Wedding – Felicia & Seth

Felicia-Seth-Marry-Me-200

Felicia and Seth married in a gorgeous outdoor wedding at Mathwig Event Barn in Maryland, completely decorated with lace and vintage trinkets, and photography from Unforgettable Expressions.

We met online. Our first few planned hangouts fell through and I was about to just give up. However our third date happened.. (Third time’s the charm right?) For our first date we hung out at Seth’s house and played with Star Wars Lego (we are huge Star Wars fans) and watched Blade Runner while adding our own commentary. He was such a gentleman and walked me to the car that night. He never gave me a goodnight kiss. So naturally I assumed he didn’t like me. The next night we got together and he finally kissed me… to which I laughed in his face. I had to quickly explain I wasn’t laughing at him but that his beard tickled my lips and made me giggle.

Pretty much all the decorations were DIY. I searched high and low on the internet collecting lace, vintage items, just anything you could think of. We got married in a barn and I filled it with wildflowers, mason jars, chalkboards, acorns and pinecones. I made a ton of scrap fabric garland in various sizes to hang in the entrance and on tables. I am a photographer myself so I really made sure that I set everything up perfectly for photographs.

The biggest thing in the entire wedding that represented us was probably the music. We aren’t fans of dance music or pop music or anything along those lines. The only music we played at our wedding was classic rock, some down and dirty bluegrass and folk. Let’s face it, get people drunk enough and they will dance to Mozart!

A Bliss Barn Wedding Of An Artist And A Builder – Lauren & Dean

MMI_2210

Good morning! Today I get to share another fabulous pastel coloured DIY wedding where the bridesmaids were told to pick whichever grey dress they wanted to wear. This time from Love & Perry Photography of tattooed bride Lauren and hubby Dean.

I think the details ARE what represented us as a couple. Dean and I were very involved planning, building, and making every last little part, to the point where our families had no idea where we were going with it. We didn’t like the idea of just signing up for our event and pointing to the colors we liked. This was an opportunity to really create something wonderful and be very hands on. We chose to host our wedding at a friend’s property so that we could oversee everything.

A Rainy, Nerdy And Beautiful Massachusetts Wedding – Cayse & Ryan

“The whole wedding felt very us; casual and sometimes silly.”

Good morning! This latest beautiful couple are Cayse & Ryan who were married at the amazing Holliston Historical Society with amazing images from Oh! Karina Photography. I’ll hand straight over to Cayse as her & Ryan’s story is so cute!

We were introduced by a mutual friend after a ladies night where we may have consumed Mad Dog 20 20 and an absurd amount of bacon while watching Arrested Development. The aforementioned MD 20 20 lead to a lot of complaining about how horrible my ex was and how I wanted to meet a nice guy “who just wants to hold my hand”. My friend immediately texted her fiance’s friend, who was a drummer in his band, to tell him she had a friend who “wants to kiss you”. Keep in mind I’ve never even seen a photo of the guy. Ryan, who was on a camping trip in North Carolina, replied with “Is she hot? She better be.” What a pompous jerk right?

My friend set up a group dinner and invited him anyway. When they came to pick us up he was wearing jeans and flip flops (one of my pet peeves) and it was raining. Oh Florida style. And it was a giant failure, or so I thought. He was silent pretty much the whole time and my rambunctious friends and I were quite the opposite. The next day our mutual friend forwarded me a text message from Ryan to her asking for my phone number because he had a really great time and wanted to ask me out. She also tells me Ryan wouldn’t shut up about how pretty he thought I was while they were in a separate car driving to dinner. Turns out he’s a bit awkward and does not speak while eating and I’m a bit awkward and quite vocal while doing all things. It was awkward happiness from there on out!

Sun, Snow And Sweets – Cassie & Mario

0617-JAP-Cassie and Mario

 Good morning! With all this hot weather we’re having, I thought it’d be nice to have a bit of a cool down. Cassie & Mario were married at Byron Colby Barn, photographer Joshua Albanese caught the beauty of the snow is the daylight.

Cassie’s bridesmaids chose their own dresses, which I think fitted perfectly into all the lovely colours of the sweets..

Upon friending each other on Facebook, Cassie noticed he was in fact the little brother of a girl she was in elementary through high school with, meaning that Mario was 5 years younger!!! Making her feel a bit creepy at first. Mario made the first move by asking Cassie if she could help him complete his Christmas shopping for the women in his family (which of course that idea came from him & all his buddies sitting around thinking of a reason to ask her to join him for a date!). They have not spent more than a few days apart since that first date and the rest is history.
