Bask in the glow of this rustic Olympic National Park wedding

This pair wanted a low-key rustic wedding that was focused on spending as much quality time with friends and family as possible. It was kind of like a grown-up slumber party with most of the attendees staying on-site in cabins for the weekend. The venue at this Olympic National Park wedding has a charitable side that meshed with their goals, too. You’ll want to see this loveliness.

S’mores, archery, cowboy chic at this rustic campfire wedding

Alison and Albert are all about adventure, sports, creative DIY, and making us fall in love with their gorgeous and rustic campfire wedding. There was a little bit of cowboy chic, a lot of s’mores, a seriously lovely ceremony backdrop, handmade florals, and an amazing campfire ending with log seating.

Albert gave Alison a bow and arrow as a wedding gift and taught her how to use it at the reception! It’s one drop-dead gorgeous day that you won’t want to miss. Oh, and don’t miss the tiny shout-out to their pets on the program!

Wine bottle cork placecard holders are the an easy DIY project

Wine bottle cork placecard holders win at easy DIY projects

Bride Ashley made these wine bottle cork placecard holders with a wax seal for her wedding. It’s a super cute idea for a vineyard wedding (or any rustic wedding!). You can make your own wine cork placecard holders, too! Here’s how to make them once you’ve done the hard work of collecting all those corks…

A new spin on "happy tears" ceremony hankies

A new spin on “happy tears” ceremony hankies

Kim and Liz are adorable nerds who love themes, dancing, and making things themselves, including this “happy tears” ceremony hankies display. it’s pretty much guaranteed that someone on your guest list is a wedding crier (that would be me), so having handkerchiefs on hand is a great way to keep everyone’s making from free-flowing down their face.

We’ve seen hankie displays before, but I’m digging Kim and Liz’s idea to display them in rustic chic chicken wire for easy grabbing and nose-honking. Plus they make great favors.

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

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.
