This DIY wedding was featured by Connecticut wedding planner, Sixpence For Your Shoe.  This is a DIY bride after my own heart – the details she included are spectacular!  The rustic garden atmosphere is so perfect.  David (the groom) and his groomsmen had set up all of the lighting and details and hung the curtains for the ceremony.   Seeing all of the work that this couple put into the wedding makes me realize how much this day really meant to them.  The more a bride and groom personalize and work on their wedding together – the more it really feels intimate and unique to the couple.

Okay – now my favorite part .. lets talk about the details!!  First of all, there were butterflies everywhere – on the table, the cake, and the brides bouquet.  What is more whimsical than butterflies?!  This wedding totally reminds me of Cinderella.  The garden accents with the butterflies, the mini silver pumpkins, the big old key details, the whimsical star lighting, and the love notes.  I really love when newlyweds ask their guests, instead of singing a book or picture, to write a little note of love or a recipe for a successful marriage.  The bride also wore shoes with little notes on the soles from her girlfriends wishing her luck and love.  The romance in this wedding is just overflowing!  Well, before i get too carried away going into details – check out the wedding below and be sure to visit Sixpence For Your Shoe’s blog to see and read about the full wedding!
