Rustic DIY Fall Wedding

Vince & Heather found new love and celebrated that in beautiful New Kent, Virginia at the newly remodeled Vintager Inn. Between them, they have 6 fun-loving kids who helped them celebrate their special day. This new family is all about laughing and making each other smile, and we love the joy that radiates through their photos, captured beautifully by Fowler Studios. 

With about a year to plan their perfect fall wedding, almost all of the details were DIY projects. From the custom wedding signs and hanging burlap poms to the table decorations and bunting banners, the wedding came together beautifully. This gorgeous DIY wedding combines rustic details with down to earth decor that allows the bride & groom's personalities to shine through. Although their venue was an hour away from where their guests live, they pulled it off and had a great time!

The bride's dress features an intricately beaded top and beautiful ruching and looks absolutely stunning. The bridesmaids wore chocolate brown dresses while the groom and groomsmen wore tan suits with fun ties that matched the girls' dresses. The groom's boutonniere and the bride and bridesmaids' bouquets were designed with orange, red, and tan flowers with green accents - perfect for these autumn nuptials.

The tables featured burlap runners and centerpieces created from thin tree slices, votive candles, and miniature wooden crates filled with fall-colored florals. Table number flags were crafted with the names and numbers of the family's favorite athletes for a personal touch.

We love the incredibly personal touches throughout this rustic fall wedding. By creating DIY wedding decorations and staying true to their own personal style, this beautiful family created a one-of-a-kind wedding and memories they will cherish for the rest of their lives.

Rustic Elegance Fall Wedding in the Catskills

Jamine and James set off to create an amazingly fun, family-centric celebration - and goodness, did they deliver! You can just feel their joy radiating from the photos of their special day, skillfully captured by Sherry Sutton Photography. It was quite the action-packed day for guests, with the wedding ceremony in New Jersey and the reception about two hours away in the Catskills of New York.

Their touching wedding ceremony was held at the bride's home church amidst all of their family and friends. Jamine walked down the aisle with her mother and father, looking beyond beautiful in her mermaid-style lace gown. The smile on the groom's face is priceless when he sees his bride coming towards him. After a bubble-send off these newlyweds and their guests headed off to their tented outdoor reception. 

The fall-inspired reception was held on the groom's family property, where they had transformed a wide open field into a wedding venue with gorgeous views! They brought in a large white tent, tables with linens, a bar, DJ, and portable restrooms to cater to guests. The groom even custom built a trellis and fire pits as a wedding surprise to the bride, which brought her to tears when she saw them. The bride's family is Latin, so the evening was filled with Latin music and dancing - and lots and lots of love and laughter.

Burlap runners and table numbers are paired with Victorian purple napkins. Orange and white flowers with long branches fit perfectly for a rustic fall feel. 

After the sun went down, the fire pits were lit and everyone made s'mores from the kits the bride and groom had made for their guests as favors. 

This gorgeous custom wedding cake was created by My Daughter's Cakes, and features an intricate lace design which imitates the beautiful lace overlay and accents on the bride's dress.
