We’re keeping the pretty train rolling this afternoon with this gorgeously woodsy, perfectly DIYed west coast wedding. This stunningly beautiful bride got her craft on for her big day and made all the hair pieces and even reconstructed her dress with the help of an alterations specialist to ensure that it was perfectly unique. The charm of this homespun affair is seriously off the charts and thank goodness that Ashley Forrette Photography was there snapping away because we’ve got a full gallery just waiting to be devoured. Enjoy!

From Ashley Forrette PhotographyEli and Jessica were married at Ron’s Pond in Monmouth, Oregon. The wedding was 100% DYI. Jessica, with the help of an alterations specialties, broke down and reconstructed her wedding dress to her personal taste. She also handmade both of her headpieces for the wedding, and flowers for her bridesmaid’s hair. They picked up donuts from their local grocery store and assembled a donut cake, and had guests perform music for the reception. Friends and family helped set up the tables, arrange flower centerpieces, and cook breakfast for dinner. And by the end of the night the 18 person wedding party ended up in Ron’s Pond. Now that’s a party!

    Does anyone know what style number her dress is? I LOVE it, but I can't seem to find it on the Allure website.

    wow this is so beautiful but seriously a bin of plastic bottles of water? It's like 'we love the woods but not enough that we give a shit about the environment! Help yourself to some tap water that was bottled in Maine, shipped here in a gas guzzler truck, and is awaiting to be either your litter or landfill-filler!'

    Beautiful wedding inspired by a beautiful girl. I'm so glad that you were so accommodating to your guests by supplying them with all their needs such as off wipes and bottled water! Your sign is so adorable and your donut cake is so amazing! It looks like you spent so much time on this and yet it is so perfect and elegant!

    Great photos! It looks like everyone had a great time. Also glad to see everyone enjoying the pure, great taste that can only come from bottled water

    I have to agree with Clara about the water bottles. Its so funny that many people pretend to care and then go and contradict themselves

    Oh, for heavens sake people!!! It's her wedding and all you can say is she shouldn't have used bottled water? Petty much? This isn't a place for everyone to criticize. If you don't agree with it, do it different when it's your turn!

    Sorry, just irritated by people always jumping to find something to complain about.

    Where did you guys get married? We live in Monmouth right now and are getting married here next year. I was just wondering what your location here was. :)
