DIY Wedding with Vintage Style
This next little piece of DIY wedding gorgeousness is about as romantic as you can possibly get. With handmade details infused into every corner, a bride that could easily be the most beautiful bride ever and pretty pink flowers that will make your heart pitter patter…this wedding at Murietta’s Well, photographed by Jason and Anna Photography is one that you will want to look at over and over again. Click here to see even more details!
My fiancé and I have a love for anything and everything vintage and rustic. When envisioning the style we wanted, it seemed pretty clear which route we wanted to take. The venue we picked, Murietta’s Well, complimented the style and the vision perfectly as it had a vintage and rustic look with the dark wood, wine barrels and huge sliding doors. Ultimately our vision was a cozy relaxing environment that had every inch covered in personal ~ DIY wedding touches.
We love antique shopping and ended up finding the vintage books and wine crates after looking around a few local ones. We found an Etsy shop who made burlap flowers which I tied around each mason jar for the centerpieces. She also made the burlap date sign, which was a personal touch that we loved. All the chalkboards and table numbers were personally made by my fiancé who is an amazing wood and faux finisher. We used these all around the space in lots of different areas.
Our bouquets were beautiful. Since ranunculus were out of season, our florist made some out of wood. They were so gorgeous. The bouquets were filled with these wood flowers and white peonies. The boutonnieres were also made of the wood flowers as well. This allowed everyone to have a personal keepsake from our wedding.
Oh the wedding tree! A friend of ours actually flew out from Florida for our wedding 2 days earlier and painted that beautiful tree! Instead of a traditional sign in table, each person put a finger print as a “leaf” of the tree and signed their name! Everyone had a lot of fun with it, and we now have a beautiful piece of art to hang in our home.
I love creating invitations and paper goods so it only seemed fitting that I do it myself for my wedding. I spent countless hours getting the invitation just right. I loved the style of bold unique fonts that just speak for themselves. I had a return address stamps and logo stamp made for the wedding. The invitations ended up coming out beautifully. We decided to use kraft envelopes since I love these natural colors.
For wedding favors we decided to make a personalized CD with songs that we both love and songs that really expressed our love. We made a playlist of 18 songs and put them in kraft paper cd cases with a personalized stamp on the cover. On the CD we used our “wedding logo” stamp to personalize it even more.
As for the bridesmaids, I let them pick their own dresses as long as they fit the vintage romantic style and picked a color. This gave them a chance to be able to show off each personal style.
My dress was from the Vineyard Collection. I wanted something lace and elegant with a sweetheart neckline. I wanted to do something bold with my shoes so that when they popped out, they were memorable. I picked the gold sequin shoes with rhinestones for this. I also got a chunky statement necklace which went incredibly well with the dress. To keep it pretty simple, I got some diamond stud earrings from Kate Spade and did a simple birdcage veil with a Lo Boheme hairpiece.
I really wanted to look back in 20 years and see all that we did to create such a personable and memorable wedding, and I think we definitely achieved that.

Wedding gorgeousness for sure! It is so fabulous it almost looks like it was shot for a magazine. The girls are all so beautiful! I love the guest book. So creative, personal and a lovely keepsake.
Absolutely love the style of this wedding! Where is that gorgeous necklace from?
Does anyone know where the bride got the burlap banner from? I LOVE IT, AND NEED IT!
Perfection. LOVE all the dresses the bridesmaid picked out.
I know this is going to sound crazy, but is there any chance that the bride was planning on selling her dress? It is everything that I have been looking for and I recently found out (after consulting a dress maker) that converting my lace dress into a sweetheart neckline is looking impossible. I was completely devastated. Please let me know...thank you!
CUTE! Love all the dresses!
such a perfect weddings....every detail is absolutely perfect !
This might be the one of the loveliest weddings I have seen. Ever. Espeically in terms of fashion, those bridesmaids are gorgeous.
What a gorgeous wedding! I'd love to know the name of the Etsy shop where the burlap flowers and banner are from...please share if anyone knows! Thanks! :)
This is SOO insanely crazy-beautiful I want to cry that it wasn't mine. That's how much I love this. This wedding is so incredibly inspired, because it is so personal: the CD favors, the vineyard setting. I'm loving EVERYTHING about this!
nice shoes! Just one nitpick though, what's the pic with the bride and bridesmaid all gloomy :( They are kinda scary. Weddings are supposed to be happy. The bride is very beautiful though. Congratz!
I love the little flower girl's tulle skirt. Can you please tell me where you found that?? Beautiful wedding!
Just stunning!!!
Amazing details - I love all the rustic elements and the wooden pieces. The couple is stunning and the bridesmaid dresses are so pretty!! Thanks for sharing :)
@Katie. You should check out www.oncewed.com. The website has a "Used Wedding Dresses" section of brides selling their dresses, usually once worn or samples from stores. I'm sure you could find this dress or a very similar one there for a good price
@Katie. I did a quick search on Once Wed and I think is is it
http://www.oncewed.com/28595/used-wedding-dresses/size-8/nora-vineyard-collection/?currentPage=1
My own dress is from Priscilla and I tried on this bride's dress (I'm pretty sure this dress or one very similar) and I think this one on Once Wed is the same
Oh the PINK! Love the BM dresses and the Ball Jars!
Those are the most beautiful photos I have ever seen of a bride with her bridesmaids! Love the beautiful champagne dresses!
OMG beautiful! I am actually wearing the same PofB VIneyard Collection dress for my wedding in the fall and I loved seeing it here with the spring touch. What an amazing day!
Liz + Ryan were amazing to work with. We had a blast shooting the wedding especially after the effort they put into all the details.
Beautifully done! I love the burlap sign! Does anyone know the etsy seller?
I love that necklace! and must have it! any ideas on where she got it? im obsessed with it! so pretty!
Beautiful and all that, but...DIY invitations does not equal DIY *wedding*.
Respectfully, while this may not be a true DIY wedding I think credit is due to the couple for having their vision executed beautifully. In the description the bride mentioned some of the details the groom handmade, the tree her friend painted and the cds they made as favors. That's more DIY than many couples do. Anyway, beautiful wedding and photos.
Thank you so much for all the lovely compliments!
We were so thrilled about how beautiful our wedding turned out.
Burlap flowers and sign were by http://www.etsy.com/shop/31vintageroad
Necklace was found at Nordstrom, @Katie - Hahaha Yes I was planning on selling my dress.
Thanks for the name of the Etsy seller Liz! Gorgeous wedding, beautiful bride and groom. From a few shots in the gallery it looks like everyone had an amazing time!
Liz, is it possible to tell me where you found the LOVE teacups? They would be perfect for our wedding.
I absolutely love your little details in your wedding. Congratulations!!
@Megan- Thanks for the reference to once wed, that is very helpful =)
@Liz- I'm interested! Do you have it listed on once wed...or how were you planning on selling it? Thanks!
@Katherine---I believe those are the initial mugs from Anthropologie
I feel like I'm leaving a million comments on this wedding today but I can't help it! I just love it, the asethetic is exactly what I'm trying to achieve for my August 2010 wedding.
Absolutely gorgeous wedding! It really was a fabulous night :)
Thanks for featuring Liz's wedding Abby! And I definitely agree, she is the most beautiful bride ever!
Love, love this one. I'm going for the same vintage, rustic vibe at mine. Could the bride tell me where the lovely purple cardigan is from? My wedding is in February. I'm looking for something a little more relaxed than a fur shrug in case I get cold. ;)
Cant find the shoes?!! Did you get them a while ago? Can you point me in the right direction please!
Yes, the monogrammed mugs and also the cardigan were both from Anthropologie.
@Katie - I haven't listed the dress yet, but I will let you know once I do. Probably within the next week or so : )
I am speechless. Everything is perfection - the BM dresses, the burlap flowers and sign (how great a find is that Etsy seller?!), the flowers in the L.O.V.E. cups stacked on vintage books - it's almost like an inspiration shoot, it's so perfect. Thank you for sharing!
Saw this wedding a few weeks back and love everything about it!
Absolutely beautiful! Gorgeous work by the bride and groom! Liz, I have been looking for table numbers EXACTLY like yours everywhere...etsy, wedding bee and cannot seem to find them. Were you thinking of selling them or could I potentially hire your incredibly talented husband?
@Liz- Thank you so very much=)
Liz & Ryan's wedding was by far my favorite wedding of the past 12 months! I was so excited to be able to step away from the usual wedding flowers and incorporate some wood flowers into the bouquets and boutonnieres. It was such a neat, rustic, touch and quite the conversation piece! I also loved the burlap and twine elements we used to finish off the bouquets and bouts, making for the perfect little rustic packages! And the anthro L O V E mugs were darling. Liz did an amazing job conceptualizing the details of the day - there were so many!
Super excited this wedding is featured on SMP, Abby! Thanks to Allison from Engaged & Inspired for doing the legwork. And Jason & Anna's images are amazing - hard to believe this was a real wedding and not a styled shoot!

I love the programs! (EVERY DETAIL IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!) @Liz is there anyway you could tell me how you made them? I'm trying to save some money on stationery but am not creative in the slighest!! Thanks!
I love everything about this wedding. What a beautiful bride and the colors are amazing. Congrats L&R.
OMG, this wedding is AMAZING!!!! My favorite in a long time as well! Could the bride or bridesmaid who wore the first dress in the first picture please reference where it came from?? I am SO IN LOVE with it!!! Thanks!
@Kelly - It was from H & M!
Liz - please share where you bought your shoes! I can't find them on the Nina site anywhere and I love them :)
woooooooow i absolutely love these ! such beautiful people in the photos, gorgeous dresses and so many sweet touches. the photography has captured it all perfectly. love love love love love it!!
Seriously AMAZING!!! :D xxxx
Thanks a million!
What an absolutely stunning wedding. I had the pleasure of making Liz's hair piece and veil (link above is incorrect) and it was such a pleasant surprise to first fall head over heels for this gorgeous wedding, and then to realize it was the celebration of one of my clients. Congratulations to you both, you pulled off a breathtaking day, every details is just gorgeous!
Congrats! Gorgeous wedding, love all the details!! Where did you get your card box, it looks like you have in one of your pictures? and if you want to get rid of your chalk boards let me know :)
Thanks!!
@Ashley - I ran into the same problem when I was searching for these shoes. The only place I could find them was this online store in New Orleans www.feetfirststores.com/store
@Penny - the program box was actually just sitting up in my husband's parents attic! They were about to throw it away! I snatched it just in time.
OMG! LIZ.. Are you selling your necklace by chance?? I have been looking for just that! OR.. when did you get it at nordstrom or what brand is it? You wedding was just breathtaking and I am inspired and a bit in awe. Absolutly perfect.
I am inlove with several of the bridesmaids dresses! Where are some of them from?
Great photos and the pinks are beautiful. We have a wedding on the beach with pink on 6-21-10 and this will give me some ideas, Thanks
I just want to jump in and say BEAUTIFUL and congrats to the bride! The wedding is stunning and I'm am finding it full of inspiration for my wedding! I love it.
Liz, I LOVE your wedding! We wanted to do it at that venue but our guest list is too large and Wente just didn't have the same flair.
My finace and I are also doing CDs as favors, can you let me know where you bought those kraft paper cases?? They are just perfect for what we're looking to do. Thanks again for sharing your day, it was stunning.
@jordan
The dresses are from Express and H &M. Mine was actually from Forever 21...happened to find a great deal!
I love the table numbers! Where did you get them?
If you loved the the brides birdcage veil in this post, Smartbrideboutique.com has one posted to the site that looks like it is almost exactly the same! Here's the link: http://www.smartbrideboutique.com/shop/item/view/white-veils-new/2561/
@ Jess - The kraft CD cases were from http://www.stumptownprinters.com/stumptown_store.html
Your wedding is absolutely beautiful! All of the pieces fall together perfectly. I love the wooden block letters that your new hubby carved. He isn't interested in carving just initials and the ampersand is he?
Ohhhh, Anyone?? Any hints on that necklace?? I would really LOVE to buy it. This wedding is so beautiful I cant stop thinking about it!
@Kaite
Here is the link to the dress!

I love the look of this wedding so much! I think I may need to borrow some ideas for our May 2011 wedding.
Loving the bride's cardigan - where is it from?
Another question Liz - where did you have your wedding stamp made? Thanks in advance!
A very beautiful wedding. Can you give more details about your amazing necklace, I just got to have one! Awesome ideas for a great day!
Liz I was wondering where your bridesmaids purchased their dresses? Were they all from the same company? I am definitely interested! I love the vintage look of them! Please get back with me as soon as possible!
I am loving this wedding so perfect!!! PS I adore the florist too
OK so many things to comment on in this wedding!! But overall, I love all of the vintage and handmade details. The bridesmaids looked so good. I love that she had them choose their own dresses! And how cute that they brought their dogs to the wedding. My husband and I have dogs too (one happens to be a bulldog) so I am partial to this idea. :-)
@Laura - My cardigan was from Anthropologie. Custom made stamps by www.simonstamp.com and my return address stamp was made by www.thepaperwink.com
LOVE LOVE LOVE the pictures! Do you know where your bridesmaids got their dresses from?! I am looking for dresses like those for my bridesmaids, but I cant see to find the romantic chic style your bridesmaids found! Everything is soo pretty :)
I know it's alredy been said like a million times but LOVELY WEDDING!
Liz (or someone who may know) where are the little girls tulle skirts/pieces from?
Thanks!
I am OBSESSED with your necklace. I've been looking for something just like it for my wedding in August. I looked at the nordstrom's website but can't find it. Do you have any plans to sell your necklace?
ABout the necklace, do you know the brand or designer? I just LOVE it so much Id love to find the same one
For those of you interested in my necklace.
I can't find the original at Nordstrom but this is almost identical, mine was just silver not gold:

Hello! This wedding was so beautiful!! On the first picture above of the bridesmaid dresses, I am curious as to if the girl who owns the dress that is th third from the right would be interested in selling her dress. It is extremely pretty.
i love everythign about your wedding photos. everything is so beautiful!!! i have gone back countless times for ideas and inspirations. i would to know what your invitations were like?
@aniela
you can see my invitations here:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/51521846/vintage-wedding-invitation
Stunning! Everything about this wedding is simply stunning. I really love the cake table - Liz, where did you get the cake stand from?
Hi Liz,
I love you invitations! What fonts did you use??
LOVE the necklace, and have the following info for possibly getting it. The company is 'Sequin' jewelry, and it is from last years' line that was carried at Nordstrom's. Unfortunately, it is now out of production, however, I was able to get a contact person at Sequin. That person at Sequin is receptionist@sequin-nyc.com Perhaps if enough brides wanted it, they would bring it back into production for the upcoming spring/summer weddings. Just send them the photo, and ask if they would consider special orders, or bringing back into production. There also is a phone number on their website.
hi! Just wondering where some of the bridesmaids dresses came from. Soo cute!
Beautiful necklace! What brand is it?
Lovely wedding. One question though, how much did it cost you to burn your CD gifts (or did you "steal" them?
