This sweet, DIY wedding proves that just because you live in a huge city, amidst all the hustle and bustle, doesn’t mean you can find a quiet retreat just a short drive away for your big day. We’re loving the quaint, country feel and of course, that cute little sheep! How could you not? The bride is a designer so it was no surprise that she created many of the elements that gave her wedding such personality like the escort cards and cake topper. InfocusNYC Photography was there to capture all the details and there’s so much more in the full gallery.

From the Bride…After living in NYC for 4 years I finally met the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with. We were engaged after a year and a few months of dating, but it took 2 and a half years of saving for that perfect day. Saving, designing and preparing for the wedding took longer than expected but we couldn’t have done it any other way. Myself being from Texas with the majority of my family still living there, I knew I wanted the day to feel like a piece of home. Luckily, I found the perfect location 20 minutes outside of NYC at the Queens County Farm Museum. They also recommended the perfect caterer that was able to work within our budget. We also had a great photographer that was able to capture all of the great moments of the day. Being a designer and a natural do-it-yourselfer, I was able to keep the wedding cost down. I designed our save the dates, invitations, and escort cards. I even painted our cake topper. After months of collecting antique aqua mason jars my parents found a florist in Queens to make the table arrangements, short notice nonetheless. My now husband created the playlist for the ceremony and we had a friend recommend a DJ that made our reception unforgettable. All of these things ended up being perfect for our day.

what a fun setting! i like how their colors compliment the peacocks that would be walking around. Free and interesting decor!
i love the shoes! where are they from?
How fantastic! I had to stop over and say Hi when I saw a sunflower! Love the blue and green with the peacock touches. Gorgeous!
As a good friend of the bride and groom, and a guest at the wedding, I have to say that this was not only one of the prettiest weddings I've been to, but was also the most fun. The reception dance party is still talked about to this day. Congrats on this great write-up, Mr. and Mrs. James!
I was a guest at this wedding, too, and it was both beautiful and lots of fun. All the details came together, right down to the favors and the table arrangements, and the color scheme was just gorgeous. Plus, it was a treat to walk around the grounds in the warm summer evening. It's not every day that you see a peacock in a tree in Queens!
Love this wedding! Where was the reception? in the pavillion or the barn? Would love to see pictures of the tables!!!
Hi, We've just booked Queens County Farm. I was wondering what date your wedding was. We are trying to get an idea of what the grounds will look like in May.
Your wedding looks beautiful!
