Real Wedding: DIY Details

Today’s wedding shows how simple, DIY details can make a wedding both beautiful and uniquely personal. Amelia J Moore Photography was there to capture every aspect of Angela and Carson’s rustic April wedding in Louisiana.

Seventy-five guests sat on lovely hay-bails under the tree as the couple exchanged their vows. We love how they incorporated some vintage flair and “green” elements into their wedding with handmade flower jars hanging from the tree as well as some old family photos! The photographer really captured these great personal touches.

Everything about the event says this is a homespun Louisiana wedding, complete with vintage vases and homemade pie. The couple even restored their own get-away car! Every element contributed to their rustic yet romantic theme while enhancing their charming, natural venue.

The couple and all their guests joined in to dance the night away to the tunes of a Louisiana blues band. What a fun ending to this beautiful outdoor wedding!
