Michigan Wedding, II
Here is the insane laundry list of the adorableness that the bride crafted for this perfect wedding…all of the paper goods, the table linens, the flowers (yep, the flowers), the fans/programs, the photobooth and the mustaches for the booth, the candy buffet and candy bag favors, the cake toppers, the hanging monograms, the paper funnels for confetti. This is not just a DIY bride, this is THE DIY bride. She made sure that every project that she crafted had her signature style on it, that every element added to the whimsy and personality of the wedding. And I for one, am in total awe.
Oh and the photographs by Jess + Nate Studios…flawless.

I walked down the aisle to “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” playing on a harp. We then walked back down the aisle to the song “All I want is” by Barry Louis Polisar, Which we also created our wedding film to. We planned an entirely outdoor wedding to have it rain ALL day long. Luckily it cleared enough for the ceremony but the reception was forced into the tent. So… we had to forego the lawn games and string lights for shelter from the elements. Luckily the location had that plan B.
Rupert and I wanted to stick with the tradition of not seeing each other before the wedding so we opted to take more photos with Jess and Nate on the day after. We are soooo happy we did that. It not only made the heart pounding, emotions sky high moment when you see each other down the aisle even more special but it gave us the ability to take all the time we wanted with photos and without the stress of missing out on our wedding or keeping our guests waiting.
As the creative director and designer at a small fashion paper products company, I couldn’t wait to tackle all of the little creative details that went into our big day. I think anytime anyone brings in homemade touches it makes the event just that more unique. Whether its doing it yourself or getting things from places like Etsy. I support the handmade 
Hungry for more? Here are parts one, three, and four of this adorable affair.

Where is that adorable bird seating card from?
yesss more pics! This wedding is seriously awesome, a DIY dream come true :)
SOOO cute. Did the bride make the monograms?
Beautiful! Love the umbrellas. Great idea when rain is in the forecast.
So what's the bride's company called? I SO want to see what else she creates!
Just so so so cute.
I love the bird seating card
yay! love it! plus my favorite color is yellow..the cake is awesome :)
Totally awesome photography. Jessica Johnston Photography is one of the the best--NO--THE best around. She captures moments you don't even know you are making!
The little birdy was from Micheal's! and yes I did make the monograms too. :)
ahhhhhhhmazing! Great job on everything! Flawless!
How did the bride make the hanging initials??? they are perfection!!
The flower print monograms are the most beautiful things I´ve ever seen!! Are they covered in fabric or paper? Now I´m going to have to pressure my boyfriend into marriage...
Sarah, I love the Bridesmaid dresses where did you find them?
love the color palette, the pinwheel centerpieces are too cute.
too cute for words!
congrats!
please tell where is the awesome pool blue plaid fabric from, and as seen in the candy bag labels, programs, etc. It's perfect!
much thanks!
hi. i love this wedding! any idea on where they got the fabric letters? or something like those?
Cute cute cute! Where did you find those lovely yellow table runners?
I could scream! This wedding is really good and cute! I salute that gorgeous bride! Just like her, I prefer handmades too!
So where should I start? The hanging R S letters, the cake, the color palettes, the parasols! I could say this is my favorite.
I love the details in this wedding especially the yellow burlap. I wanted to do burlap runners on my tables but I couldn't visualize this because my tables are round. I'm so happy to see this look successfully done on round tables! Did you position the runners all the same way or stager them?
EXACTLY the look I'm going for at my wedding. I HAVE to know where you got those bridesmaids dresses- I can't find that look ANYWHERE and it's perfect!!
I love the monograms too! I attempted to make them myself tonight but had absolutely 0 success. I tried covering the craft letters with paper but the hot glue showed through. These must be covered in fabric, right? I'm going to try again. They are just too cute!
I would love to know more about the bride's company. I went to the website and it is still under construction. Is there any way you could pass my inquiry along to her.
thanks
where are these perfect bridesmaid dresses from!!!??
Love, love, love those initials on the tree!!! Great job!!
I am not the bride, but for those cute hanging monograms she probably bought those cardboard letters you can get any craft store and decoupaged the paper onto it. I have decoupaged some furniture for our apartment and it works great! SUPER easy. You just paint the entire back of the page and press it to the object and then paint over it, less is more but do a few coats. I use the brand Modge Podge. If you are having them outside use the extra hard formula Modge Podge sells and let it have plenty of time to dry- like days- because depnding on how many coats you do- it won't be waterproof in time! And there are a lot of instructional videos on Youtube:) good luck!
Oh! And you can use practically any medium. My mom always used tissue to make a more antique look. But I have used colored paper and it works just great, but fabric is doable to. Just make sure if you are using paper and you printed on it that the ink is waterproof otherwise you risk smearing your pretty design everywhere:(
i've been admiring this wedding for days. when you made the burlap table runners, did you treat the edges in any way to keep them from fraying? thanks for the inspiration!
for those of you that asked i know anthropologie used to sell those BM dresses
