A custom white wedding suit and tutu-inspired reception dress at this glam meets rustic wedding

Elizabeth and Colleen’s glam meets rustic wedding at the Holliston Historical Society in Massachusetts was a testament to amazing DIY projects and the super chic dress + white suit combination. Elizabeth created all the decor from scratch, all the way from the centerpieces to custom designing Colleen’s suit. She made the table numbers from a broken fence in her backyard and hand-picked the flowers for the bouquets. Don’t miss the black detailing on the back of the wedding party’s dresses and the short tulle reception dress, too!

You’ll fall so hard for Nicole & Asher’s free expression, red dress, totally non-conforming wedding

The theme to this wedding was “freedom of expression.” These two had to overcome many obstacles from society in regards to orientations, identities, and professions. Freedom to express themselves was the top priority. You’ll definitely want to see the red dress, awesomely dapper suit, 1000 cranes at the BBQ reception, and super personalized and intimate touches everywhere.
