Taber Ranch was the very first venue that Wren + Joya looked at, and they instantly fell in love with its surreal natural beauty and rustic charm. Do ya blame ‘em? Joya says, We loved the idea of dining under the stars and dancing the night away in the barn. We wanted it to feel relaxed, and we wanted our guests to enjoy yummy non-traditional wedding food, dance their butts off, and have a good time. Julie Pepin Photography was there to capture all the fun.

W + J love to get crafty, so they took on a bunch (and we mean a bunch!) of DIY projects for their big day. The table numbers were glass water bottles from Ikea with vinyl numbers found on Etsy.

For these giant cardboard letters, Wren and Joya found all the cardboard, built the letters in 3-D on the computer, translated the measurements onto the cardboard, and then put them together using glue, tape, and paint. Voila!

Congrats, Wren + Joya!
