Real Wedding: Ashley and Chris VI
And finally…on to the RIDICULOUSLY gorgeous reception. It’s one of those, jump-for-joy, make you want to rethink your entire wedding style kind of receptions, so brace yourselves.

From Ashley…
My mom and I really tried to keep a shoestring budget for our wedding since Chris and I paid for everything ourselves. We handwired every votive (the votives of which we scoured Dollar Stores and Big Lots!), I made my own Save the Dates, Rehearsal Invitations, Favor tags, my mom sewed every table topper, made every centerpiece, hung every crystal (you have to love the $1 bins at Michaels!), made every arrangement for the ceremony. All the flowers were done by my mom and her two girlfriends (my mom went to the SF flower mart the day before). All the drapery was made and put up by my mom and her girlfriends, all votives were hung by them, all lumianaries were cut and set up by them, you get the idea.
More to come!
This weddding is completely gorgeous! I've gotten so many good ideas for mine just from looking at these photos.
This is SUCH a beautiful wedding. I'd love to know more details, such as how many people attended and where the reception was held.
Can you share more images and ideas? It looks so lovely and I can't believe how much work they did themselves, looks so professional and gorgeous!
can you give some details about the dress designer for her maids? Pics are nice, but information would be great:)
Would love to know who designed the bridesmaid dresses...
I absolutely adore everything about this wedding. It is so personal and not a single detail has been overlooked! More pictures, please!
Hello! The bridesmaids dresses were from After Six. Hope that helps and thank you for the kind words! :)
Lovele pcture of the Bridesmaid and the last image of the B&G with her vail pulled out :-)

Where o' where did you get those gorgeous pedestal/vases for the centerpieces? I have to buy my own and am looking for something like that! Please let me know!
Haha, could your mom decorate my wedding? This is gorgeous!
Ashley, you had a beautiful wedding! I love the vineyard shot, and the shot of you two during the ceremony is my 2nd favorite! If you aren't an event planner, you should be!
Hi Ashley, I absolutely love your vases that you used as centerpieces and I have been looking all over for them or something similar, but with no success. Please help me I would appreciate it so much!! Thank you!!
