Real Wedding: Amy + Matt

June 5th. 2009 by Abby Larson | Filed Under | 15 comments

We gave you a little sneaky peek of Amy and Matt’s wedding in the making yesterday, but now it’s time to see the actual affair and all of the incredible details. Plus, Amy is stopping by to share some behind the scenes secrets and inspirations!

budget friendly real wedding

Paula and Mike of Luna Photography are the talent behind the gorgeous photographs. Although they aren’t a budget studio, Amy and Matt saw the beauty in their work (and so did we, as we’ve asked them to be a part of our Little Black Book!) and were able to sacrifice in other areas to book this duo and fly them out from San Diego!

Here are a few words from Amy, the lovely bride…

There are a lot of things that are important to my husband and me; a couple of the most significant are family, healthy living and the environment. With those things in mind, when we started planning our wedding neither of us wanted to do anything too wasteful or meaningless, so we strived to make our wedding simple yet elegant and as meaningful as possible. We really wanted our wedding to feel more like a family reunion or garden party. In choosing our vendors we tried to find people that have the same ideals we do and it was really important to us that we support small and/or local companies. We wanted our money to go towards helping support fellow artists (my husband is an artist) and people trying to make a living doing what they love.

So much more on the way! Oh and guess what…we have THE BEST GIVEAWAY today. Seriously, you are going to die!

    This is exactly what we want for our wedding, a sweet garden party to celebrate with friends and family that's within our budget. We've already limited our guest list to under 100. Now we're looking for a location in Central or Western NY that will allow us to get on with the rest of the planning. Amy, you're wedding is such an inspiration. Thank you!

    This is what we want for our wedding too! A sweet simple celebration of family and close friends. Can't do a garden because of allergy sufferers but we're looking for a location in central or upstate NY for 100-120. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration Amy!

    That paisley tie is the perfect post-wedding thank you gift for my father...where can I find one?

  7. Amy says:

    My husband, all the groomsmen and our fathers all wore different paisley ties that we purchased from Stein Mart. It's a great place to find expensive, name-brand stuff for half the price!

  8. Amy says:

    Thank you so much for all of your sweet comments! It means so much that you appreciate our wedding and could be inspired by it.
