Charming, Handmade Wedding by Alders Photography

September 3rd. 2009 by Abby Larson | Filed Under | 34 comments

There is so much to love about this next wedding. It’s a handmade affair at its finest, with little pieces of perfection tucked in every corner. The bride put such TLC into designing a day that was as lovely, as it was meaningful. Photographed by Jennifer Smith of Alders Photography, this wedding is all about the pretty!

The wedding was held at Tiber Canyon Ranch in San Luis Obispo and had this perfect balance of rustic ambiance with pretty, girly touches. Elegantly mismatched hankies for the bridesmaids, a perfect vintage truck, a pair of the CUTEST hot pink shoes. It’s everything a girl could want!

I love, love, love this wedding. All of the perfectly adorable handmade details are so charming! Plus, there are SO many steal-worthy ideas from the “wishes” sign to the mason jar cocktails, the homemade cakes to the details yet to come! Stay tuned!

    Oooh, I think that she's wearing my dress! :) The bride has great taste! I can't wait to wear it myself.

  2. Heather says:

    Nevermind...I just noticed the straps on her gown. Mine is strapless.

  3. Erin says:

    Love the bridesmaid dresses! Who makes them? They're exactly what I've been trying to find!

  4. How sweet & charming! Love the wishes table set up!

  5. a says:

    LOVE LOVE LOVE the cake table... it's great to see a bride choose different baked goods over the traditional, towering confection one normally sees!

  6. Sara says:

    The bridesmaid dresses are J Crew. I have been eying them for awhile. I think the style is really flattering and I was wondering how that color would look on a person versus the mannequin. I think they look great.

    Hi- I LOVE the pink heels! Any idea where they are from, where she bought them or who they're made by? I'm getting married in 4 weeks and still searching for cute pink heels.

  10. angelique says:

    Hello Ladies!! Thanks for all the LOVE!! Jaime...the pinks shoes were purchased from FlyJane.net (Anne Michelle for $29.90)! You really can't beat that :). All our girls actually wore different dresses from JCrew...so I can't wait to see them all together!

    From the old, vintage truck to single-tier cakes on pretty cake stands to the "wishing tree" - this wedding is EVERYTHING I am trying to plan mine to be! You did such a great job! And you made such a beautiful bride! :) I absolutely love your hair piece - any tips to where I could find a similar one?

  12. julie says:

    Who did the bride's hair and make up it is so beautiful.

  13. Courtney says:

    I am looking for matching orange, yellow and green heels for my wedding party and I love the bridesmaids green heels...any idea on the details?

  14. angelique says:

    hello marie :). My hair piece was actually my something borrowed from a dear friend...I'll have her try to get on here and give any tips :)

  15. Katie says:

    My bridesmaids are wearing those same dresses from JCrew in the same color! They had a choice of three styles and they chose two... 2 are wearing strapless and 2 are wearing the v neck one. They are beautiful!

  16. angelique says:

    hi julie: Salon Lux in San Luis Obispo actually closed down their small house salon for our bridal party the morning of the wedding which was amazing to be at with all my favorite ladies.

    courtney: green shoes were from Nordstroms..their BP line

    hope this helps!

  17. toni says:

    such a lovely wedding? Angelique, were the shoes comfortable?

  18. Jessie says:

    I absolutely adore this wedding!! :) Love! <3

  19. Jessie says:

    Hi Angelique...Your wedding is just lovely!! For the wishes sign (I have wish tickets already for mine)...did you find scallopped paper or just cut it? They just look perfect :)

  20. niki says:

    where are the hankies from??? they are too cute!!!

  21. LOVE that charming, intimate effect. The handkerchiefs are adorable, and the cake table is so well put together.

  22. angelique says:

    hi toni: the shoes were definitely on the higher end...I think they were 3-3 1/2 inch high and Jenny has a really cute shot of it on her blog at http://aldersphotography.blogspot.com/

    jessie: thanks so much for the sweet words! I actually picked up the scallop cards from paper source and the trick was taping the cards onto an 8.5 x 11 sheet and feeding it through your printer :) good luck...and it's great the paper comes in every color possibly known to mankind.

    niki: hankies were actually purchase at a local antique shop in long beach, california. i went through a box filled with never been used hankies to find ones that reflected each of the girl's style. sweet aren't they?

  23. alison says:

    oh ange! it turned out so beautifully ... how wonderful that all the aspects of the day were captured! you rocked it, girl! way inspired!

  24. Jasmin says:

    Hi Marie! I got the hair piece at a website called Retro Glamour Girl. It's the "custom bridal real touch gardenia clip" (https://retrogla.ipower.com/store/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=36_38&products_id=635&osCsid=4074efc35278dfe15d0e2c5eb0ddf858 )

  25. Bethany Winkler says:

    This is the most gorgeous and inspirational wedding I have seen. We are doing pie instead of cake and I love the way you displayed your cakes! And the wishing tree is precious! We had our hearts set on doing a Polaroid guest book set up, but we don't have room in our hall, and this is the perfect solution, especially since we have a tree/apple theme! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

  26. Katie Marx says:

    Absolutely stunning Angelique!!! Thanks for sharing- what a beautiful wedding, and a beautiful bride!

  27. Kate says:

    This is sooooo beautiful!!!! I love everything! And I am also wearing the Casablanca 1900 so it's nice to see it another real bride (who looks lovely in it by the way). Congratulations on your marriage and on an absolutely beautiful and fabulous wedding!

  28. Oh,my god!Beautiful cake!

  29. kate says:

    I love everything in this wedding. It must have taken so much time to plan all of those beautiful details.

  30. Love your pictures! What font did you use for the 'Wishes' sign?
