A Mid-Western Love Story: Part I

Yes, I am finally posting my sisters wedding!! I have to start by off saying that these two are amazing and the love that they have for each other is beyond beautiful. I knew going into the planning process I would do anything to make their wedding day amazing! The second thing I wanted to say is that the budget was only $7,000, so we had a few challenges along the way, but in the end it was perfect. As I go through the pictures I will point out the ways we saved to make the lovely day. Enjoy and stay tuned for Part II

{We designed the invites and had them printed at a local print shop to cut costs}

{The ceremony and dinner was held at our beautiful home, the dance was at a local venue}

{I had to put my love in here, isn’t he handsome!}

{yes, the guys got knives as gifts…it was a dangerous weekend}

{Cali + Curt carved a heart into the tree when they first stared dating years ago}

{love this!}

{Cali found these large mason jars at a garage sale, we used them to line the ceremony aisle. Note – some started to crack, due to the candle sitting on the edge, like so}

{For the guys boutonnieres we used one carnations and two burlap petals…kept it simple}

{Instead of a unity candle or sand they ‘planted a tree’, which is now happily planted at their new home}
