So if you’re just now joining us, we are featuring the oh-so-lovely wedding of my very own wedding florist…the FABULOUS (and that is putting it mildly) Sarah Matteson of Spruce. Her wedding was a lesson in all things gorgeous. An effortlessly elegant style with simple but perfect details that are both warm and totally inviting. In a word…LOVE.

You would think that they would design these over-the-top, incredible affairs as they have access to the best of the best of the best. But most of the time, it’s the exact opposite.

I know that some of you are DYING to know how to make those adorable DIY Moss Covered Monograms from today’s featured wedding.

The good news is that I already had some pictures from her and I found a GREAT step-by-step to coordinate.

I mentioned earlier that the person that actually sent us today’s wedding was the brides cute sister, Emily. Well, Emily also just happens to be the talent behind all of the paper goods that she sells through her super cute Etsy shop, Frenchie & Flea!

So…thank you so very much to Emily for sharing her sister’s recent wedding with us. And to adding more...

We are back with some seriously great details from today’s featured wedding. It’s home grown, with almost everything being crafted by the bride, friends and family.
