Best mutts & dresses tried on: a clever wedding program by the numbers

Try to figure out your favorite part of this hand-designed and super clever wedding program. Is it the illustrated order of events? The best mutts as a feature? The list of “firsts?” Or is it the details by the numbers (how many dresses tried on, cities explored, photos taken…)? I’ll bet you can’t even decide!

Programs are never required, but damn, when they’re this awesome, they become hard to toss out. I imagine these became mementos and future program inspiration immediately.

When a bride rolls up on a white horse (or how we LOVED this New Jersey farm wedding)

Justin and Lauren are from Qatar and came home to Justin’s family farm for their wedding. The whole farm was featured at the wedding from the rad altar the family made out of found wood, to the backyard cocktail party, and then the safari tented reception. Guests were ferried around on the back of a tractor and the paths were lit with string lights.
