DIY Inspiration: A Rustic Vintage Wedding

As spring is upon us, nothing screams "yay!" more than a beautiful outdoor wedding. The fresh air and natural elements make for the perfect backdrop to tie the knot. The weekend before Easter, my husband's cousin was married to the love of her life at a lodge that sat lakeside in the midst of a wooded oasis. We were privileged to be the photographers that day. It was so peaceful to step into a country setting in the middle of busy New England. Here are some amazing highlights from the couple's rustic vintage inspired wedding...

A captivating moment of the groom praying with his bride before the ceremony, without seeing her.

Spending the day with this awesome couple was a blessing to us. Everyone could feel the joy pulsating out of their hearts and their faces were full of happiness. These two are true overcomers; they each have a story of how they were led to God's beautiful grace and mercy. Now they rejoice together, victorious over life's toughest battles and starting a fresh new adventure. Steve and Kelly, we wish all of God's blessings on your marriage and family. You are inspiring. We love you guys!!

Fabric Fun Friday: Lovely Lace

 Can I tell you how excited I get for these Fabric Fun Friday posts??

I know I've been slack on them lately and somebody please slap me! I love them too much NOT to do one every week! {Note: Will try harder} In the meantime, fall in love with these lace lovelies...I've been kinda obsessed since I'm redoing my bathroom, which I shared Phase 1 in this post.

Can you get more girly-girl than lace? I think not.
