I don’t know about you, but it’s about 90 degrees in Boston today so I’m in a little bit of July-like daze this afternoon. But what better to go with the warm air than a wedding that’s like a ray of sunshine. A citrus blast on this steamy afternoon. Regardless of the temperature in your neck of the woods you’re going to love the colorful DIY wedding. Sent to us by the bride, it’s packed full of bright, beautiful flowers, pretty paper, and zesty details. {Click here to see the full adorable affair.}
My goal was to have a beautiful and elegant wedding that was FUN! Yellow is my absolute favorite color and I wanted to incorporate it as much as I could without going overboard. My bridesmaids wore flirty yellow dresses from J.Crew in a bright, vibrant yellow. I had a lot of DIY projects because I am a graphic designer and an art teacher. I designed all my paper goods, from save the dates, invites, table cards, menus, photobooth posters and take away cards and favor tags. I was all about the details..we had “signature” drinks with names we made up (the marry-me mojito, i-do-tini and the consumate-it cocktail) and all of our seating cards had a fun/silly fact about us on the back. I used lemons and a fun accent, in the floral arrangements and also as table card and drink menu holders.
My design was influenced not only by yellow (believe it or not!) but also by a kind of modern-vintage feel I wanted to convey. My dress & hair had vintage inspiration as well as my design aesthetics. The photobooth was the hit of the night! I designed a poster for the front that had photobooth pics of me and my husband from the last 10 years (we love photobooths, we have pics from the age 17). It was a real vintage one, so you got a nice printed strip. I also had a table tent on each table that I made that told people to visit the photobooth and have fun! We also have an awesome guestbook from it. We had a big wedding (275), and my husband is first generation Italian. The theme of the food was “A lot!” It was a great time.

What a beautiful beautiful day! I am having a photobooth at my wedding and would love to know where I could have vintage posters made- I am assuming the bride made those herself?
This Wedding is F-ing Crazy. Peewee Gaskins
Hi Ayana. The bride did make them. But I would definitely contact a local/printer designer. They might be able to do something similar.
Madonna mia, che` wedding questi ringhibistochi hanno fatto. Era buona che non c'era fiuchiochione alla festa perche` tutti le gente probabliamente volevano andare alla biblioteccha.
Very cute! I would love to know the designer of the bride's dress. It is gorgeous!!
Who designed the brdies dress? Thanks!
Stunning! I adore all the bright yellow on the cake and in the bouquets. Thanks for sharing.
Hi, I am one of the bridesmaids from this wedding...the bride's dress is Anne Barge. It was such a beautiful wedding, right down to every last detail and I'm so happy that it is being featured here (my favorite wedding website!)!!!
so classy and fun. i bet the guests adored that vintage photo booth!
The vintage photo booth is quite brilliant. Guests would really enjoy such a treat and have their photos taken fondly. I love the wedding cake as well. Love the color yellow accent in this wedding.
Would the bride be interested in sharing her talented graphic design skill for a fee?
I am also getting married at GIHC! I would love to know who the bride used for her hair & makeup at this wedding! Beautiful hair style!
I was at this wedding also and it was fabulous! They had a photo booth for guests to take pictures in to take home as a souvenir or to put into a photo album for the bride and groom, such a fun idea!
I see it says Scrapbook Photobooth, but wondering if the bride could email me the company website and/or contact info to get in touch with them? Want to be sure I am contacting the same company for a client who is interested.
Thanks!
