You are going to DIE when you see this next wedding. It’s beyond charming, beyond adorable and to top it off, the bride did basically all of the details on her own. It’s a total DIY affair from top to freaking bottom and in the little areas that she didn’t craft, she brought on the best vendors, the most talented group of people. Like the always awesome Jess + Nate Studios, who provided the picture perfect photography. So, while I could go on and on and on about this wedding, I’ll just let the bride and the photographs speak for themselves. It’s just so SUPER stinking cute.

We wanted to have an intimate vintage inspired homemade wedding. We booked our location on Mackinac Island as soon as we saw the “woodland grotto” ceremony site. Having the ceremony outside and tucked away in a clearing in the woods seemed ideal and was very special to us. We chose Mackinac Island as our destination because I’ve always loved the nostalgia that it brings and Rupert (the groom) also immediately fell in love with its quaint charm the summer before. With no cars on the island and a good amount of our guests coming from England, the Bahamas, California and Florida, it made for an interesting journey for everyone. One that included literally planes, trains, automobiles, ferry boats and countless LONG horse and carriage rides.
Don’t miss out on parts two, three, and four of this super cute celebration.

i love the simple and beautiful idea to tie ribbons on the back of the chairs! what a fun and inexpensive way to beautify the normal chairs we see.
i love the beautiful paper used to make the 'cone' containing, what i assume to be, something to toss. what does the saying say? great details make the simple wedding amazing
I love this look and the simple knot pof roses is delicious, a splash of happy yellow for a grey day in London! x
I died.
It's so stinking cute! Love love those anthropologie bridesmaid dresses, why didn't i think of that!!!
Those bridesmaids dresses are ADORABLE. Love them!
where did you get those bridesmaid dresses !?
they are so perfect for my sisters wedding! Please let me know.
gorgeous! the dresses are from anthropologie, but i think they were from last year! i've been visiting anthropologie quite often to find bridesmaid dresses there as well!!
where's the birdcage veil from? i forgot to ask in my last comment!!
Where or where did you get the grooms suit and the ring bearers suit?? Love them, and they are seemingly difficult to find.
You look so beautiful. Love the splash of color with your shoes. Where did you get those fan programs?
Just so simple and CUTE! Very pretty bride as well.
Would love to know where the groom's suit came from. We're having a difficult time finding light tan pants and vests for our groomsmen and groom! Thanks!
So sweet and simple...love pic on the bicycle...beautiful!
oh i love the details ;) hope there is more! did the bride make the veil herself? so adorable been looking for something exactly like that!
I think the wording on the cones says (squinting):
After "I do"
Please shower the
newlyweds as they
make their way
(can't see, guessing)
to the ally? down the aisle?
I love Mackinac Island - what a perfect setting for a wedding!!
LOVE the sweet style of this wedding! The bride's dress is beautiful and I love her shoes!
What a beautiful wedding--who made the fabulous paper goods?
So amazing! Curious, how do you arrange for people to take photos in the photo booth? It's more of a logistical question, but I've seen so many cute ones and have been wondering. Is there someone attending the booth/photos set-up? Thanks! Kat
Beautiful, perfect, creative, colorful...oh my there are SO many good things to say about this wedding. The details are fantastic too...the paper (gorgeous), the candy table, the cake topper, the bright flowers and yellow burlap! WOW! And I ADORE that day after pic with the bicycle...beautiful perfection.
