Our wedding was a very hands on DIY Rock and Roll theme, and it turned out just like we hoped it would. We met at a concert, and music really brought us together in the beginning of our relationship, so it only made sense to break out the chucks, guitars, and records.
Here are the down and dirty details. My wedding came in at around $8000, because I did everything myself. We also got a steal on the gorgeous hall and catering! I’m pretty sure the fact that my wedding took place in a teeny tiny town in the middle of nowhere helped a lot with the price, but it was so worth the twenty minute drive. The food was to die for, people are still talking about it today! Our menu was bacon wrapped pork loin, beef tenderloin tips, brown sugar glazed baby carrots, mashed garlic baby red potatoes, biscuits, and I think we had a pasta salad that I wouldn’t eat since I’m not a fan of pasta salads.
Well anyway, to the important things! Here’s the part where I show you all the details that I had worked on for over a year!
This is how we decorated the ceremony site (my grandparent’s backyard) It looked way better than I had imagined!
The groomsmen wore custom made ties and boutonnieres.
Here’s my husband modeling the tie. I had them made at cyberoptix.com they had great customization and group ordering discounts, they made an awesome groomsmen’s gift too!
The fabulous bouts made by surroundingsonline.com. It was a pleasure working with this company, they made these bouts just for my wedding and included extra hardware that we put in with my husband’s rose bout.
Here are my fabulous little people! My cousins and niece were ring bearer and flower girls. My grandma actually made the flower girl outfits!
I found this somewhere on Etsy.com, for my ring bearer to carry down the aisle.
Oh and here are my fabulous wedding shoes! from BetseyJohnson.com
Here we are getting married!!
Here we are giggling at the Final Fantasy fan fare music that our dear friend and wedding musician played as we were pronounced man and wife! We left this out at rehearsal to surprise our nerdy friends.
