If there's one thing that was clear from our recent survey, it's that you guys LOVE a DIY wedding. And who could blame you? There's the whole creative aspect, the fact that (even if you're following a tutorial) the way you put it together will be uniquely 'you', and best of all, the fact that it's a bonding experience for family and friends who lend their talents - literally, a labour of love. That's exactly the kind of day that Kim and Christiaan envisioned, and I especially love the way that they chose to incorporate bare and natural textures like bulbs and raw wood, which perfectly complement their rustic venue. And then there's that touch of pure glamour that is Kim's dress! (Because who says you can't be rustic AND glam?) Photographer Duane Smith was there to capture every single piece of magic - be sure to check out his profile in our directory!
