DIY Wedding with Handmade Charm
You know what I love the most about this next wedding…the PURE joy that seems to be jumping off the page. Okay so that’s not the only thing that I love. I am borderline obsessed with the silhouette stamped corn toss came, the adorable bridesmaids, the sweet downhome details and total spunk behind each and every image. It’s just one of those weddings that will make you smile and that will definitely leave you wishing you could copy every last detail. Click here to see LOTS more.

Cedric and I had been dating for a little over 3 years. He is a business man that works in DC. I own a “handmade only” boutique in Winchester, VA. I make jewelry, hair pieces and lots of other goodies so of course, I had to make as much as I could for my own wedding.
Cedric and I got married on our 5 1/2 acre farm in the historic district of Opequon. I made everything from all of the bridesmaids jewelry and hair pieces to all of the boutonniere that the men wore. One of my bridesmaids made my cake and another bridesmaid did my make-up. I made signs for the wedding as well as tons and TONS of pom poms for the tent that were all made from old dress patterns. The tent was surrounded with prayer flags made from antique hankies. I made all of the invitations and save the dates myself. I bought a pair of white, leather shoes and added added antique shoe buckles to them. My veil was made from an old brooch and antique comb. All of the men in the wedding carried antique pocketwatches. (groomsmen gift)

I agree Abby; the bean bag toss is so creative and such a sophisticated spin on the game.
such a creative wedding! LOVE the bean bag toss game with the silhouettes - darling!
I love the wedding dress! Where is it from?
out of all the wedding blogs i look at .... the corn hole silhouettes is the best thing i've seen yet. my boyfriend, excuse me, fiance loves that game (we currently have our friends' in our garage that we keep 'forgetting' to give back). i have to ask if you make it yourself?
The first picture about the portrait of bride and groom is artistic and genius. I love nature themed wedding just as above one. I should say that the color of bridesmaid dresses is so special and plain.
I love the pictures through the car door! So neat. The vintage turn lock keys are a nice touch as well! I heart sweetheart tables... they are definitely the way to go. We had one at our wedding and it was so intimate and amazing. congrats on your marriage!
Love the silhouette-stamped yard games...a simple touch that makes it so very rustic-chic!
love love love!!!!
Yes- I love the game also. We are having a silhouette artist come to our wedding and that will also serve as the favors for the guests....this would go so great with our theme.
Please let us know if you made this yourself or who/how you did it?
AH i love the silhouette cornhole!!!!! what a great idea!!
You can just tell this couple is sooooo much fun! I love that they included cornhole at their reception - I'm sure their guests did too!
Where did the boys get those mustaches on a stick?? My fiance would DIE over those. He and his buddies are obsessed with mustaches. Let me know!!
This couple looks like so much fun! I love this rustic setup and the mustache sticks are fantastic! Congratulations!!
Can I just say Sarah outdid herself?! I had the pleasure of being the photographer at this wedding and it was an eye candy wonderland. I think I squealed every 5 minutes. :)
Wedding corn hole . . . genius!
This is so cute! That bride is freaking adorable and all of the details - including her fab dress - are awesome!
It takes a lot of doing to make DIYs successful and haven't they done a great job.
firstly this is so beautiful...but most of all it's fun! i love it.
I loved the photographs! Congrats to the couple
Love the photos. They bring out the fun this couple and their guests must have enjoyed. Good times!
Such a fun, lighthearted affair! :)
Such a cute and fun wedding!
And I think one of my favorite things is how HAPPY she looks, just gorgeous and so sweet! :)
Thanks everyone for the sweet SWEET comments!
Now, to answer a few questions and to give a little advice...
1) The dress was made by a company that I found online called Rhyme Couture. They were amazing to work with and I LOVED this dress. I loved it so much that I ordered it without even trying it on! It was perfect. ;)
2) As for the bean bag toss "corn-hole" game... It was made by one of my bridesmaids and groomsmen as a wedding present. They were so cute! I'm not sure if he would be interested in making them custom or not... But here is his email style.my.corntoss@gmail.com
3)Yes, I DID do a LOT of the decorations.. but I would not have been able to do everything without the support and help from my family, husband, and friends. So.. to all of you- THANK YOU! ;)
- If you are interested in custom veils, boutineers, ring pillows (yes I made it too) bridesmaids jewelry or hairpieces or..even invitations please let me know! I own a "handmade" inspired store and so I would LOVE to do any custom work that you would like.. I'm open for anything. You can reach me via email at thepurplefern.yahoo.com or via my ETSY account www.thepurplefern.etsy.com.
4) YES, I ALSO MADE THE MUSTACHES ON A STICK! ;) you can contact me if you would like some made!
Again, thanks for all of the sweet comments and thank you to STYLE ME PRETTY for choosing out wedding!
LOVE,
Sarah Garman
