once upon a time there was a girl.
who fell in love with a boy.
and he with her.
and they decided on forever together.
our wedding day. september 2, 2011
the groomsmen: [L to R] ian, josh, ross, andrew, theo
hair piece by my friend kami of the ellegant elle
hair inspired by rodarte f/w 2011
me and my daddy
the bridesmaids/sisters. can you tell which sisters belong to me and which belong to ross?? tricky, isn't it?
i spy our two flower girls! [ross' nieces, peri & evie]
in the distance you can see the vintage bloomers hanging on the line.
ross' parent's farm. a beautiful backdrop.
dress from anthropology's bhldn. eyelet melody sheath.
gosh, i'm the luckiest girl in the world.
instead of a guest book, we used a polaroid camera to photograph our guests. they then could personalize their photo and hang it on the frame attached to the barn.
our caterer was incredible! if you live in michigan and are planning a wedding, message me. she made organic mini cupcakes, fruit parfaits served in champagne flutes, cannolis dipped in heath brittle, and the list goes on!
danced to priscilla ahn's cover of "i'll never smile again"
i know i'm partially biased, but our wedding day was perfection. even the "hiccups" were overshadowed by the joy and happiness of gathering with our dearest friends and family. it's hard to fathom that 3 months have already passed! you blink and then suddenly real life resumes and you're left to wonder, "was that a dream?" best dream i've ever had...
we were so blessed to have such a supportive crew of creative friends and family who helped us plan our day in only 3 months! "why the rush?" you might ask. well, "why not?!" ross and i have actually known each other for almost 6 years now and we didn't find it necessary to postpone getting hitched! engaged on memorial weekend, married on labor day weekend. it can be done!
a majority of our wedding details were comprised of DIY projects. from the homemade dance floor, to the altar, to the place settings -- we wanted our day to represent us. organic, laid-back, with a touch of sophistication. personalizing our wedding also brought our families together. it allowed for us to bond creatively and to learn little tidbits about each other. all-in-all what was most important was sharing our wedding day with the people we love the most. and for that we are truly blessed.
have a happy weekend lovebirds.

Looks like such a beautiful wedding <3 love the photos and the whole post, the wedding concept is all so natural fairy tale like, you two make the best couple and I'm pretty sure it'll be a long and happy marriage <3
ReplyDeleteThis is a simple wedding, but you all look handsome and beautiful. The groom and the bride are meant to be together, and your dance under those lights looks very romantic. It's just amazing how you planned this beautiful wedding in only 3 months.
ReplyDeleteHmm, actually three months is a pretty good preparation period, especially if you have supportive friends. Ross' family's farm is so pretty that it made the event much more special! And the Polaroid gimmick is so unique! Congrats to you, Blair! :)
