To say our wedding was DIY would be a total lie, while most everything was done by hand, it certainly wasn't done solely by me or Chris. We count ourselves extremely lucky to be surrounded by a community of creative (and hardworking) and extremely kind people, all of whom we owe way more than a simple "thank you".
The week of the wedding I drove up to my mom's house in Maine to start organizing everything and pulling the last few things into place. It was nice to be home again, but very stressful. I couldn't wait until that Friday, when my bridesmaids rolled into town. We spent most of Friday setting up, my mom baked the last of the pies, we strung up lanterns and twinkle lights, and decided where everything was going to go.
That evening we hosted what must have been the most casual "Rehearsal Dinner" ever: hotdogs, hamburgers, beer, paper plates. But you know what? I wouldn't have had it any other way! It was nice to finally be able to relax a little and enjoy the company of our friends and family. Do you see how dark the sky is in those last images? We missed torrential downpours by a couple of miles!

It was my most favorite rehearsal I have ever been too! (Shhh don't tell the other rehearsals that I've been too though) I seriously had so much fun getting ready for the wedding. I was running yesterday and I was passing bunches of those tall purple flowers and was thinking how fun it was making our boutiques that night. Can't wait to hang out this weekend and ALL NEXT WEEK!!!

Oh my, your wedding looks like it is incredible! I really want to have a diy wedding someday. I think it makes it so much more special that you have put the whole day together with your close friends and family and your own two hands. Plus it is totally unique to you :) I can tell I will be adding lots of your photos to my wedding inspiration folder!
It's so fun seeing behind the scenes photos. I think DIY weddings are so much more personal and inspiring. That's so great that everyone got involved and helped out.
This all looks awesome. Love it!
