Okay. Can we talk about this wedding?? I can't take it! So amazing! I love love love the cohesiveness of this rustic theme, from the cowboy boots, to the venue--it oozes of the care and time bride Marcy and Groom David from Telluride, Washington spent making their wedding day awesome!
From the happy couple:
We spent the most time on our invitations, (we have this great Japanese printmaking thingy called a Print Gocco.. they are out of business but people are cultish about the awesomeness of this little device and keep it going for now.) We used a lot of veneer from B&B Rare Woods in Colorado. We also made a lot of things from fallen trees on our property: the cake stand, sign for the back of our truck, other signs, a teepee for the kiddos, table names,.. We bought a burnishing tool and burned letters into everything.. even our hangers for suit & dress… everything smelled like a campfire. And all the blue ball jars were found here on our island.. and house our rock/shell/feather/flower collections from each state/country we've lived in or been to together. Fabric projects: the butterfly wings for the flower girls, garter belts for the single girls, and torn satiny fabric for ribbon, Homemade cootie catchers kept the 23 kids occupied during dinner, and we had things like: "Kiss the Bride", "Hug Grampa John" written inside. The kids also were enthralled with the guest book table.. we had an old typewriter that was m's dads, water color pencils and book, and a card box with all the homemade drawings we had received from the kids leading up to the wedding. We have large families & friends from all over, and invited 160 people.. (only 78 attended).. but we wanted it to be an intimate experience so making everything ourselves made it more personal.. and was fun for us! We also wanted to drag everyone to this beautiful part of the world, knowing they may not see it otherwise. Instead of leaving right after for a honeymoon, we camped and adventured with whoever could stay longer. It was nice to have that relaxed time with everyone, and we lovingly refer to it as our Muddy Honeymoon. And because photography, travel and letter writing are intertwined in our 3 years together, we had elements of those throughout.
Well done, ya'll!
