Vintage Rock N ROll and I LIKE it!
I just finished the last wedding I shot, and let me tell you. It was SO much fun! The couple had a non traditional DIY wedding. I thought you guys might be interested in a little sneak peek!
They had their ceremony and small reception at the Birmingham Zoo Lodge where they set up 3 foot tall inflatable mushrooms along the walkway.
Mrs.C s veil and hairpins were DIY and looked just gorgeous I might add.
The groom made all of the bouquets from felt, buttons, and wire. Hanging from the brides bouquet was her Aunts baby bracelet, which spelled out her maiden name. He also felted the cake topper – two birdies sharing an Ipod!
Mrs. C gave her bridesmaids a color scheme and told them to pick out dresses that they loved. None of the girls consulted any of the others about their dresses when they initially bought them – they just all ended up looking great together! And yes, there was a bridesman.
They told the guys to just wear whatever grey pants, and whatever shoes. The groom chose Vans!
They were married by a friend of theirs in a very personal and emotional ceremony. Isn’t it awesome when the person who marries you wears the hottest tights, is super spunky, and writes lewd comments on your getaway car?
The wedding party and guests were greeted into the cake and punch reception by a llama and a parrot. I am pleased to report that the llama did not spit on anyone.
There was a bit of a woodland theme…..squirrels, birds, trees, flowers – and vegan cupcakes!
Beautiful couple. Beautiful yellow diamond.
After the reception the bridal party , moms, and a few close friends met for dinner at a yumbo Mexican – American restaurant, then headed to an after party at…get this….a bar/antique shop! Genius!!!!

The place was really cool – there was a courtyard full of wrought iron mismatched table and chairs and concrete tables and benches, scattered through fountains and sculptures and greenery and old sinks. Just anything you could think of. and the sides of the courtyard were full of rooms with glass walls so you could see in and see all of the antiques. I would like to go back during the day.
