Budget Conscious Bride
We wanted to have a laid-back wedding that our guest would enjoy. I was on a low budget, so we had to pull some strings and do a lot of DIY to meet our budget. I had a lot of fun planning a wedding that seemed more elaborate than what it actually cost!
A Meaningful Knot Tying Ceremony
From Jessi Nichols Photography: Lindsey Plantation's lovely barn and property was the perfect backdrop for their charmingly rustic wedding. Their ceremony took place in a field on the property, and it could not have been more beautiful.
The bride and the groom participated in a rope tying to signify their unity during their ceremony. Once vows were said, the two joyfully exited, began their reception under the twinkle lights in the barn.
Dedicated to DIY
We did a lot of DIY projects. My favorite was the flower boxes. Blake and I got the wood from an old barn behind a house his dad had bought. My dad and I then spent an entire day building the boxes. I also sewed all of the groom and the groomsmen's ties myself. And each table number frame, chalkboard sign, floral arrangement, were handmade by me or someone in my family.
A Wish For More Time
I would have had a Rehearsal Brunch instead of a Rehearsal Dinner. I would have loved to have the evening before to make the flower arrangements. It was stressful doing them the morning of since we also had to set up the venue. I felt as if it made everybody rush to get ready.
