What was your overall inspiration? I just wanted a trendy-vintage look, a classy version of DIY.

What were the interesting personal touches/unique details? My mom made the table runners and toppers, she will reuse all of them to make a quilt—including the flags. The bridesmaids and I made all of the monogrammed flags by hand, and I baked all of cookies myself, including Snikerdoodles (my favorite) and Cowboy (Brian’s favorite). I also made all of the save-the-dates, invitations, programs, and banners for the wedding.

What one detail truly made the wedding yours? So many personalized details

How did you save money in planning your wedding? By doing so many things myself

Tell us a little bit more about the day, how did it go? My bridesmaid had a flat tire other than that it went pretty smooth. A highlight, I was shockingly calm.
