Tyler and Emily's wedding was quite original. They decided to have there wedding held at a place very close to their hearts: their own home. This beautiful home is surrounded by fields filled with hay bales and gardens. One of this couples passions is gardening, and they actually grew a lot of the food for the reception dinner. This wedding was easy on the environment, they treaded lightly using a lot of recyclable material and DIY decorations. Even Emily's vintage-style dress was vegan. This wedding was truly an unique experience, I think all the guests could easily see that they had arranged all the events and details to really reflect their individuality as well as their relationship together. Emily and Tyler rang in the dance party by a wonderful duet of the classic "Jackson" by Johnny Cash- and later in the evening we were all graced by Emily singing….. well.... you will have to scroll through the photos for that little treat. Enjoy!
Some details from the bride:
"Tyler and I LOVED our wedding and it turned out to be exactly what we wanted....a self planned and created day, a great low key ceremony (where we did our best not to cry), then good food made from our garden, and we wanted to end the night with fun and dancing. We tried to make it a bit "farmy -vintage" since that is our style, so I think we did all right with that. It was pretty much a party to celebrate our love. I think we, and most of our guests loved, the Jackson duet. Although, the Thong Song was pretty good. hah!"

Any "do it yourself" ideas or creations:) oh god, everything! Seriously, we made all those cute little birds in the trees, all the stumps for the tables, my mom made those stick hearts, that was our Stella for the guest book pics, we homemade all of our guest gifts (wine, roasted nuts and zucchini bread), my dad made those cedar pillars on the stage, we made the name tags for the jars (which I bough most off of craigslist), I bought my forks from goodwill. :)
Emily getting ready in their bedroom....
I adore this photo of her dress hanging in their room, its so endearing and honest.
The first look.
I love these photos, they were taken minutes before they both walked down the aisle. Just chillin' in their room with a few close friends, escaping the crowd and the mid day heat.
Yummy food... a lot of the ingredients were grown in their own garden.
I should have stopped her, but I couldn't sacrifice an image like this.
First dance. Salsa!
....and he can sing and play the guitar. Ladies, he's taken, sorry.
... and so can she. They sang Johnny Cash's "Jackson", love (LOVE!) this!
Hours later.... Emily got up on stage again and graced us all with a special encore. Sisqo's famous "Thong" song. Word for word! I love you guys!
