I do believe spring is trying to be fashionably late this year, so a wedding like this bloom-filled beauty is just what we need in New England right now. Perfectly captured by Katie Slater Photography at The Lace Factory with florals from Ashleigh’s Garden, you can soak up a little spring-time pretty to hold you over here.

From Katie Slater Photography…Samantha and Christopher were married on a gorgeous spring day at a waterfront ceremony where tears of joy abounded. After treating their guests to a train ride to the emotional ceremony, they welcomed them with an outdoor cocktail hour at the stunning Lace Factory in Deep River, Connecticut. The day will filled with bright spring flowers, botanical accents, and the cutest bicycle you ever did see! From The Bride…We wanted a casual, intimate and vintage feel to our wedding. We focused the details on nature and the outdoors, which we both love. That’s where the trees, terrariums and birds came from. It was important to us that our guests had outdoors available to them, therefore our ceremony was outside and our venue allowed for guests to be inside and outside without missing out on the reception. Our cake toppers were my great grandmothers on my fathers side. In the lace factory my mothers wedding dress will be on mannequin, this dress was my Great Great Grandmothers and was worn by three generations on their wedding day! I will also be wearing my Great Grandomother (on my mother’s side) watch. We tried to do as much DIY as possible! Most of our stationary was purchased on Etsy.com, which we then printed and assembled ourselves. The rest, like the menus and escort cards, we created completely from scratch, and glued each feather for a special touch! A friend even designed the train tickets we provided to our guests. My bridesmaids, mother and mother in law helped me to create all of the terrariums which were used as our centerpieces. We also printed large, black and white posters of all of our parents and grandparents wedding photos which I affixed to foam board in order to create a little gallery of wedding photos to use to decorate the reception venue. All of the signage was made by us as well! A close friend of ours also provided the ceremony music, and, along with some friends of his, the cocktail hour music. This was one of the best, most raved about, part of our wedding! There were very few details that we DIDN’T do ourselves. It was important to me that our wedding felt personal and special and I felt that DIY was the best way to make that happen!
