Holga, Music & Diy A-Plenty

April 22, 2010

Oh how I love a holga-photographed wedding! I can’t help but applaud a couple who take the risk with such a camera…I tried my hand at holga photography a while back and promptly gave up!

Katie & Kevin had a perfectly personal diy wedding. Katie loves crafting and so made everything, and I mean everything, herself. One of my favourite bits had to be the hand-dyed coffee filters used as hanging paper ‘flowers’. She also made the felt bouquet and the groomsmen’s custom cuff links herself too!

A Graphic designer by day, she did all the graphics on her invitations, save the dates, bridesmaid guide and rehearsal dinner invitations herself. They also included a CD gift with all her escort cards for guests to find their tables. It was a mix of love songs that her and Kevin had DJRJ play at the wedding. She handmade the table settings including tin can candle holders and framed menus.

The couple set out lots of fun activities to keep their guests entertained – lawn games, dancing and bubbles! The cake bar contained a mix of cupcakes and cookies the guests could bag and take with them and each guest got a birdseed gift and a bag block printed with LOVE! filled with bird seed to throw at their exit.

Thanks for Katherine for sharing this ridiculously awesome wedding with us
