Okay, now on to the fun stuff. I thought that rather than leave you hanging, we could jump right into the DIY details from today’s real wedding (which was sent to us by Amanda at Orchard Cove)!  Before I start though, I have to tell you that I love the subtle elegance of this wedding. The DIY touches only add to the beauty of the day with their simple, elegant style that truly embrace the natural surrounding of the affair.
