This is the story of a bride who did not wish for rain but prepared for it anyway. Who searched for a florist and came out feeling confident she could do the work for half the price. Who threw a wedding for under 15k. Who wore a short Sarah Seven dress when family wanted her to wear a long gown. Who crafted everything you see in the reception: banners, tablecloths, doily bunting banner, signs, invitations. And who didn’t sleep for the entire week prior to her wedding. Excitement and crafting will do that to you!

This may be a minor detail, but check out those wine bottles. Natalie and her mom had wine made for them so they could customize the labels. We love this!
