Handmade Vintage Barn Wedding: Paige + Geoff

Handmade Vintage Barn Wedding: Paige + Geoff

via

There's nothing quite like a good barn wedding, and as soon as we laid eyes on Paige + Geoff's handmade, vintage-inspired celebration, we knew you guys would love it. These two went the extra mile to ensure their day was as personal as it could be and took a fun, creative approach to planning their I Dos. They planted a tree together during the ceremony, shared poems and songs they love during the reception, and drove off at the end of the night in Geoff's classic car. In between, all the little details like the groomsmen's ties (which were hand-knit by Paige), their unique polaroid transfer Save the Date, and the hand-drawn signage + paper goods were all fun representations of the two of them + their beautiful life together!

From the Bride, We wanted our wedding to immediately reflect who we are and what we believe, we both think outside of the box and like to do things our own way instead of doing things just because tradition say so. Geoff and I thought through each step of the traditional wedding process and decided if we wanted to stay traditional or do our own thing. Quite a few of the detail touches to the wedding were courtesy of many trips to the flea market and estate sales. We thought about what we wanted for the decor and then figured out a way to create it. We found wooden sewing spools, made a stand to put in the spool and used them for the seating assignments. We wanted to do as much as we could by ourselves. For example, my maid of honor and I love to crochet, we decided to crochet each of the ties for the groomsmen.

Thanks so much to Josh Gruetzmacher for sharing these lovely photos of Paige + Geoff's wedding with us and big congrats to the happy couple!

The bridesmaid skirts were handmade by a friend of the couple + paired with simple lace tops from Free People. Such a sweet look for a laid back barn wedding!

And how great do Geoff + the groomsmen look?! We're pretty into all of the wedding party fashion (and the decor) from P + G's awesome, rustic shindig! Check out the fun shopping guide we've created to help you get the look if you love it, too!

Neither Geoff or I like champagne but we still wanted to have a time for toasts, Geoff is a bread baker so we decided to have "toast" for toasts!

The reception barn + tent were decorated with lovely + quintessential vintage barn decor. The tablescapes featured vintage lace linens, found handkerchief runners, and antique ribbon spools, books + floral vessels. Such a pretty look!
