How did I just discover these vintage-y wedding dresses under $200!?
Ok, why didn’t someone tell me about Ruche.com sooner?! For those of you who are leaning towards the vintage-y/classic end of the wedding aesthetics spectrum (as opposed to the rainbow carnival freakout or zombie-chic), this place is your new favorite website. Some of their stuff reminds me of BHLDN’s styling, but without the $128 buckets and other overpriced pomp. Their bridal lookbooks? TO DIE FOR. They’re like vintage-tinged fever dreams that I want to crawl into and pretend I’m more understated and chic than I actually am.
A sweet and simple remote island wedding
This cozy wedding on Sinclair Island in Washington is adorbz! The ceremony was held in front of a small chapel open for all kinds of worship. The summer celebration was warm and cozy and truly had that timeless feel that you just can’t mess up.
Amanda & Mike’s mega-handmade awesome farm wedding
A handmade dress, self-catered reception, homemade reception lighting and decor, and screen-printed chair covers — and it all looks flippin’ sweet. Amidst hanging moss, marshes, gnarly trees, and a farm equipment photo booth, magic happened. And you’ll want to see it.
Laura & Martijn’s outdoor colorful Yosemite wedding
Below the mountains of Yosemite, two eco-friendly lovers made a wedding. And boy, is it purty! They met and fell in love there, so it only made sense to celebrate there as well. With handmade pinwheels, fabric flowers, and parasols, this DIYed party is worth a look. And the scenery seals the deal.
