This colorful handmade wedding is making us want to hold onto summer just a little bit longer. This was a big one too. Their bridal party was huge because they wanted to share the day with their closest friends and fam. Their guest list was a modest 300. And the amount of DIY details was plenty, from the hand-painted chalkboard signs, the glittery centerpieces, to the flower girl’s floral crowns. The best part, it was all captured by their close friend Kelly Maughan PhotographyClick here to jump on over to the full gallery of images. summer wedding bouquet | photo by  Kelly Maughan Photography | 100 Layer Cake summer wedding bouquet | photo by  Kelly Maughan Photography | 100 Layer Cake summer wedding bouquet | photo by  Kelly Maughan Photography | 100 Layer Cake summer wedding bouquet | photo by  Kelly Maughan Photography | 100 Layer Cake summer wedding bouquet | photo by  Kelly Maughan Photography | 100 Layer Cake summer wedding | photo by  Kelly Maughan Photography | 100 Layer Cake

Garrison snagged her wedding shoes (which are super cute btw), and wrote a sweet little love note on the bottom for her.

As Caitlin walked down the aisle, a family friend played “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” on a fiddle.

We’re huge fans of brides who wear floral crowns but they look even cuter on the littles, don’t they? And they’re so easy to put together. You can even make them the morning of with whatever is in your garden.
