One of the DIY projects I am most proud of is the flower assembly. One of our dear friends (who is an artist but not a florist) offered to organize the flower arranging. We gathered some flowers from street-side fields and bought more from a local market. Our friend, Leann, then went to work, using some photos I had gathered online, to create the most beautiful boutonnieres and bouquets I have ever seen!

One of my favorite moments in the wedding was taking communion with my husband. Our pastor knelt in front of us to give us a private piece of advice, and then we got to sit and pray together for the first time as a husband and wife. All the while, evening prom evening prom my brother-in-law and my dear friend from high school sang and played “Come Thou Fount”… a few of the most timeless, magical minutes of my life.

My other favorite DIY project was the plate collection. When I was a teenager, I told my mom that I didn’t want to register for dishes or china when I got married, but instead I wanted to begin a collection of random, beautiful plates. When I got engaged pink homecoming dresses pink homecoming dresses, my mom started collecting plates from local antique shops and thrift stores. And when we decided to use the plates for the wedding, she got busy and collected almost 200 antique plates and platters! My mom is the rockstar who made this wedding what it was.
