this wedding was a DIY wedding, because my mom taught us we could create anything we could imagine, and we've pretty much always believed that.

Oh my goodness...this wedding was PERFECTION. I really wish I could redo my wedding, now that we have the amazing invention of Pinterest (mine was over 6 years ago). You did a great job on the chalk art and I LOVE those succulents!

You are amazing at those chalk signs!! What kind of chalk did you use and where did you get those colors? I do all the chalk signs at my work and have been pretty into it lately, but I have limited colors and it's hard to find more anywhere else. And seriously, for a vintage/thrifted wedding, it looks amazing! You guys all did a spectacular job (esp. your mom with making the dresses!). :)
Oh my gosh. I am amazed by the dress. AMAZED.
I would love if you would add this to the Lovely Things Thursday linky party!
