Part 2 is all about the details. And let me just tell you - they do not disappoint.

The entire theme was largely focused around earthy, vintage-inspired, country-chic aspects. Custom-made wooden pieces, family-style seating, pops of bright green and an ideal venue selection (the Winter Park's Farmer Market), were just some of the bits and pieces that made Valerie and Ricky's wedding a picture perfect event.

I don't normally post a lot of 'detail' photos on the blog because, well, most of the time details aren't as exciting to look at as people. :) But in this case, I think the details are so fantastic that they need to be shared. Future brides, wedding planners...appreciators of awesomeness - take note. The photo board below is a source of inspiration; a testimony that DIY can be chic and breathtaking.

Yup. I said DIY. Valerie and her exceptionally talented family created the entire look for this wedding. Valerie even found some of the little gems below on the side of the road. She was a dedicated bride. She had a vision, and sought to have it carried out in every element of her day. Brides - let this be encouragement to you that your wedding day can be creative and beautiful without breaking the bank. Just utilize your resources, be innovative and be hands-on. You can have the wedding of your dreams - you just have to be willing to put in the time and effort. :)

Valerie and Ricky's wedding was gorgeous and cohesive. Enjoy the charming details from their big day!

And because every post is better with...people :), here's a couple of shots of Valerie and Ricky's first dance. More on the reception in part 3!
