Since it’s Friday we’re going to end the week with a couple that had quite the lively wedding. Maybe if we tell you how Sara snuck in some dirty romance novels by painting their table numbers atop of steamy, dirty, like really dirty pages, that might give you a little hint. It was a total DIY wedding with so many unique details that were specific to their style and fun personalities. We’re glad onelove photography was there to capture the beautiful madness!

Here’s the evidence! We wonder if guests realized Sara had painted the table numbers over pages of dirty romance novels.

A great tip on saving money is to buy flowers from your local farmers market and have a little party with your ‘maids the night before to assemble them.

I tried my best to take it all in and really enjoy every moment. It goes by so fast. We did the first look and it was the best decision we could have made. I feel like your nerves kind of mellow after you see each other, so when you do that walk down the aisle you are really able to relish every moment instead of your nerves taking over.

What a fun couple & wedding. Congrats, guys!
