Chickens! Pitch forks! Boots! And a super sweet, simple, backyard wedding full of lots of love and a bunch of handmade projects.
Kylee and Austin were married at their neighbor’s 119 year old house and had the reception in Kylee’s parents’ backyard (complete with chicken coop and barn). It was and probably will be the biggest backyard BBQ her parents have ever or will ever throw.
Kylee took on pretty much every DIY project possible and it shows in their super personal, extra intimate party. Recycled wine bottles for vases, handmade cake toppers, invites, garter, bouts, corsages, programs, favor bags, etc etc etc. She gets gold stars for doing her whole wedding herself, and loving the entire process.
And there was a bouncy house, which is pretty much the most fun thing ever. And strangely enough, the second bouncy house wedding we’ve shown here.
Thanks so much for sharing your pretty day with us, Kylee!

Where did she get that dress and how much did it cost (if I may ask)? It is BEAUTIFUL and exactly what I am looking for myself!
I love the cowboy (girl?) boots on the bridesmaids! What a great touch.
Absolutely gorgeous photographs! I love weddings with an easy going atmosphere and style that reflects personality of the newly weds – it’s important that everyone enjoys. Looks like this wedding was so much fun and an unforgettable day for the couple.
LOVE THIS! Thank you so much! I’ve been reading a lot of negative things about DIY lately but this gives me hope that it can all come together.
Absolutely love every image here… who made this dress!?
LOVE this! I mean, everything about it: the clothes, her dress, the decor, that bouncey house, brilliant and lovely!
The dress is STUNNING!!!! Gorgeous bride!
Beautiful! I think my favorite elements are the boots on the bridesmaids and the bounce house. So much fun!
Hi Allison,
Her dress is Casablanca 1816.
Everything about this wedding just made me smile
So much fun!
A chicken!? Moonbounce!? Beautiful brown linen tablecloths?! Okay, I should have started the other way around because clearly that poultry is just the coolest thing about this wedding besides that great couple.
chickens! any wedding with a chicken wins it for me.
Love is in everything about this day. Amazing photography! Anjuli- You captured the authenticity and joy of this amazing day… love… amazing details… personality… distinctiveness of the lovely bride and groom… celebrating the ever sacredness of marriage in creative ways… memories all captured not just for the families, but even for me to share in this happy day though I don’t know them. What a special gift your photography is to this rememberable occasion to celebrate their let it live on.
oh that picture of their backs with the boots is incredible. Love the casual but romantic mood through the entire event!
HOW fun! I love that the bridesmaids are wearing cowboy boots. So cute.
I’m definitely a country girl at heart.
love the dinosaur jump house. so fun! what a beautiful playful wedding.
Not only is my fiance a farmer (we live in the country) but his last name (and my soon to be last name is VISSER!
What a co-wink-y-dink!
We really love that you have shared the pictures, they are really nice.. Thanks
Awesome DIY wedding…looked amazing…and great photography Ms.Anjuli!
The bouncy house just tops it off!
I mean, what’s not to love about a bouncy house! Fun wedding!
Love the “American Gothic” stance….very cute! And I am ALWAYS a fan of cowgirl boots!!
Love, love, love these pictures! And I love the reference to Green Acres in the first picture! What fun!
I’d love to know, who did the hair and makeup? So beautiful!
I love all the country touches to the wedding. What a great photo with the bride holding the pitchfork and the groom the rooster. The bouncy house sounds like an all out fun time.
wow, really touch me!!
Photos are GORGEOUS!!!! Stunning really.
I love this wedding, so much personnality! It gives me a lot of ideas for mine… I also really love the pictures, we can feel the warm of this day…My favourite pic??? The first one!
Thank you for sharing.
Love all the bridesmaids wearing boots. So hot!!! I think country weddings are quite nice to have, so refreshing and simply adorable.
The dress is an older Casablanca dress.. they don’t have it in stores anymore, but you can order it through a store that sells Casablanca. I’m sure different places vary in price.. but mine ended up to be about $800 with tax. The hair and makeup was done by 2 friends of mine who work in a salon in San Marcos, CA. Feel free to contact me if you want their information (or about anything else)! Love, Kylee

I love this wedding. Anyone know where she found the bridesmaids boots? I am getting married in October and we are all wearing boots- including the guests.
ABSOLUTELY FIRST CLASS. Your pictures speak words and show the joy of the happy event. You are a talented photographer.
the dino-shaped bouncy house for kids shows that this couple is a) fun, b) keeps it real and c) really-really cares about their guests. Overall, what an amazing DIY wedding!
Love it! Love the wedding, love the dress, love the decor, love the photography! Absolutely Love it!
Wow – so fun and folksy… I just love the bouncy house (a dinosaur at a wedding – great!). But I must confess that when I saw the first line of this post, I really wondered about the pitchforks… perhaps it’s too much wedding planning of my own going on, but I wondered it it might be in a capacity more akin to a cattle prod! Was glad to see the pretty results instead…
I love this! So many lovely details…OMG the cowboy boots on the bridal party is perfect!
I love this blog so much… but it makes me very sad that the pics in these posts don’t load in my Google reader
such a lovely wedding

i wonder what kind of treats they put into the adorable favor bags?
P.S. I’ve started an etsy shop, selling many of the paper products that we made for our own wedding (many of them seen above). Check it out if you’re interested…
