Eeeeeks…I am SOOO excited to post this wedding!! So, I want to start off by saying that the entire wedding is 100% homemade, DIY, handmade…you get the point. This includes the bride’s incredibly gorgeous wedding dress which she made herself, and an entire laundry list I included below!!! Yes, my jaw dropped too. Stephanie and Bear are extremely talented artists that created (what I would like to call) a Hippie-Chic wedding. So beautiful, earthy, authentic, and full of love. I want to give a BIG thank you to Kristen Grinnell Photography for sending this my way and for capturing the day in these amazing photos! ♥ xoxo ♥

A few words from the photographer:

Stephanie and Bear are incredible musicians and artists. In her “spare” time, Stephanie is a graphic designer / creative genius, so, of course, she handmade everything for their wedding. Her dress, her Nordic inspired tiara, the invitations, the place cards, the programs, she even hand printed LOVE onto pieces of her silk wedding dress and crafted them into lavender sachets for her bridesmaids. Their wedding was truly a community effort. Their neighbor grew the flowers in her garden all year long, another neighbor made the wine AND was chef for the day, Bear’s sister coordinated the day AND made the wedding cake, friends served each other dinner and provided musical entertainment for the rest of the night. And to top off the giving, in favor of their guests attendance, Stephanie and Bear gave baby chicks and honey bees to families in need through Heifer International.  It was truly a special evening full of so much love and goodness.
