Evonne did a great job selecting and coordinating all these details, and Mary, you did a great job photographing them. I really like detail photos (not at the expense of big-picture images) and these are rich and vibrant and capture the shimmer, sparkle and textures wonderfully.

Hey Mary! These are some phenomenal pics! Thanks for sharing them. It just goes to show that if you do your research, thanks to sites like ETSY you can plan an entire wedding around a few key inspirational pieces. My ball got rolling with the peacock feathers from finding our invitation company, peacockinvitations.com with Jo! After laying eyes on those, the rest came easy: feather accents galore with lots of teal and calla lilies.

Some of the girls hair fascinators were found on ETSY as well from a great seller, called SWEETGRASSMILL! Jade, from SWEETGRASSMILL was the best to work with–fast, accomadating, and does spectacular work. I ordered my hair fascinator from BELLES AND CRYSTALS, and they customized exactly what I was visioning.

With help from my mom and google, we found all the ideas for the centerpieces while working with the best freelance florist in Pittsburgh, Meme Betters! She was amazing and worked so hard, from her home, to come up with exactly what I imagined. My mom, stepmom, and friends all clipped coupons for Michael’s ads to buy the vases. We bought a lot of Christmas decorations that were on sale for the floral details!

We didn’t use a wedding planner, it was a team effort through the entire process. Get a creative vision and find ways to work with them while staying in a certain budget. It’s amazing what can be accomplished on your own with a little, well a lot, of time and effort!

Thanks again Mary!!!

Very Nice, Is that a bounce flash off the ceiling in the church or did the church have a skylight. You have a great way of isolating the subjects in your photos, especially the ones where the bride is getting ready, those are tough shots.
