Vintage Backyard Wedding

This fabulous wedding being featured today on Green Wedding Shoes is a must share! With so many DIY details one can't help but be inspired!

From the Bride: I started out with like a 1940’s theme because I love that music and era and then it sort of ended up just being everything that I love shoved into one backyard. I wanted it to have a backyard kind of cute bed and breakfast feel. It did have a lot of 1940’s themed things but it was subtle and I don’t think people knew the era. So, I guess I could call it a real vintage backyard wedding (most of the stuff really was old).
My favorite aspect is probably this awesome sofa that served as lounge seating for guests and the perfect photo backdrop

Old hanging windows is such a fun way to incorporate vintage details and add dimension! I also love the mismatched vintage chairs at the head tableA soda bar is perfect beverage choice for a backyard wedding!
These are just a few of my favorite details, but there is so much more to be seen! Hop on over to GWS for the full wedding.

PS. This wedding was planned in 3 months and on a low budget! That amazes me.

Dan and Joy's Spring Wedding

Over the weekend I had the pleasure of traveling to Houston for my husband's cousin's wedding. It was an unexpectedly cold Spring day with temperatures in the 40's, but luckily everything was indoors and turned out just beautiful!

The five bridesmaids wore dresses all made from the same fabric but styled to fit their own tastes. I love this idea and the result was stunning!

The couple had their ceremony in the beautiful LDS temple and a ring ceremony at Champions Golf Club.

My favorite part of the wedding was the Chinese Tea Ceremony. The Tea Ceremony is traditional practice used to introduce the newlyweds to each other's family, and is a way for the couple to show respect and appreciation to their parents. The newlyweds bow in front of their parents, serving tea to both side of parents, as well as elder close relatives. Parents give their words of blessing and gifts to the newlyweds in a red envelope. It was so heartfelt and fun to watch. Fun fun times!
