Sunset Photos

 

In between our wedding ceremony and reception our Photographer scheduled a time for us to take photos as the sun was going down. She chose the perfect location, a cornfield that had just been harvested that was only a block from our reception hall. She couldn't have pin pointed this location any better as our wedding was very rustic.

 

 

 

DIY Wedding Programs

 

I created my own wedding programs as I couldn't find anything in my budget nor could I find exactly what I was looking for. I have very little artistic ability so if I can do this so can you!

 

How I went about doing it:

 

I used Microsoft Publisher to create my wedding programs. This was the most time consuming part of the project.

I bought the Kraft Paper from Hobby Lobby. They were actually full sheets that I had cut in half after they were printed from OfficeMax.

I bought craft scissors and a hole punch from Hobby Lobby to cut around the edges to give it some rustic feel instead of having a straight edge. The hole punch was used to punch a small hole in the corner so I would be able to use the twine to tie the knot in the corner.

I also got the twine from Hobby Lobby.
 

After they were created in Publisher, I saved the finished program to my USB drive and took it to OfficeMax where they printed them and cut them all in half. All I had left to do was cut them with the craft scissors, punch a hole in the corner, and tie the knot with the twine.

 

I would say the total estimated time it took me to do this would be about ten hours. I spilt it into stages and didn't do it all in one day. I would say I spent about $45 dollars on everything. Really easy and cheap! I had a lot of fun doing it so if you need any help or have questions about the process comment on my page and I'd be more then happy to help you!

The Dance

 

The Dance:

 

We hired a DJ: Your Way DeeJay owned/operated by by Shaun Satterfield

 

As you can see in the pictures the dance floor was packed all night long! I have never been to a wedding where the dance floor was packed from the time dinner was over to the very last song at midnight. People are still talking about our wedding, it's great to hear that everyone had such a great time!

 

The Photographer

 

Our photographer, Sarah (pictured below on the left), works for LaBrisa Photography. She was absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend her to anyone. She travels the world doing what she loves, photography. She captured our day in a way that I never imagined possible. If you are looking for someone who not only is able to capture your day but is professional and fun she is your go to gal! She was there from the time I was getting my hair done and didn't leave until the reception was nearly over!

 

 

Wedding Party Attire

The Rings

The Church

We were married at Eastside Christian Church. As you can see the wooden beams inside the sanctuary gave it that extra Rustic feel.

 

 

We lined the aisles with burlap bows which had bittersweet weaved in and out of the bow. These were also made by our florist, Bloomworks.
