Real Wedding ~ Elisabeth and Kris

Last week I shared a link to Elisabeth and Kris's wedding via Mindy Leigh Photography. If you have not seen it yet check out the blog post here. Today I wanted to share more of the details with you.

Elisabeth knew what she wanted her invitations and paper products to look like but could not find them anywhere. So she ended up sharing the idea with a grapic designer friend and they turned out perfect!

At Picket Fence Floral in Holland you can have a party and put together your own bouquets, corsages, etc. Liz, her mom, grandma and bridesmaids spent Friday afternoon putting everything together and had a blast doing it. On the day of the  wedding Liz told me that she was much more attached and sentimental about her bouquet because of  creating it herself.

The family brought in flower pots of many colors to create a garden on the stage.

The bride created these fabric flower wreaths to great the guests as they entered the sanctuary.

The bride found the perfect embellishments to add  to her escort cards.

The centerpieces were each an eclectic grouping of jars an vases filled with bright garden stems. The brides grandmother made the green gingham squares for the glassware to set upon. The couple used fun pictures of them together for the table numbers.

Main Street Sweets in Zeeland brought in the amazing candy buffet. A friend of the couple created the wooden stands to hang the "CANDY BAR" letters from. We added a few framed pictures of the couple as well  as green linens to make the buffet a focal point in the room.

This four tier cake was from Second Floor Bakery in Holland. The fondant flowers and gingham ribbon went perfectly with the rest of the decor. The groom  also had a Michigan Stadium grooms cake!

Liz and Kris and their entire bridal party were so much fun. As you can tell in this photo they were not afraid to be crazy, one of the couples even rode in the reception on roller blades!
