Yellow is one of my favorite colors, so it’s no surprise
Karima and Aaron’s nuptials caught my eye. The Iowa City couple created the ideal summertime
wedding scene with shabby chic flair.
The Details…
In an open field, underneath a birch huppah built by the
groom’s father, the couple exchanged vows. For a home-made feel, escort cards (designed
to match the huppah’s yellow and white cover) hung from raffia by mini
clothespins as wildflowers from a local farm adorned each table. The favors,
jars of natural honey, were stacked on cake stands and surrounded by Mason jars
filled with wands.
What I Love…
Karima and Aaron used local elements and DIY-techniques
whenever possible. It goes to show you can incorporate eco-conscious ideas into
your wedding without becoming an eco-maniac.
