DIY Summery Perfection

A few words from the wonderful photographer, Birttany Hildebrand Photography...

"erin's attention to even the tiniest details (which are my favouritest things, by the way) was inspiring. in short, it was an orange, yellow and mint DIY paradise. striped candles, dotted ribbon, braided and ripped fabric elements, vintage frames, furniture - even a wood stove filled with candles - and bicycles, one thousand and one felt hearts, confetti for celebrating (both from the guests as well as an airplane) and bright red balloons for releasing to the sky. it's always the greatest when you can see the couple reflected in their wedding, that's what it's all about. you could feel the love that day, it was huge.

i wasn't the hired photographer for their big day; louis and i attended as guests instead, there to share the day as close friends - it was more than nice. a moving ceremony, an A+ dinner (white sangria and a make-your-own gourmet burrito bar - WHOA), a truly heart-melting speech moment and a "big fish"esque barefoot dance party made for a wedding i will never forget. even now as the snow is starting to fly, memories of erin and derek's wedding are fresh in my brain, still as if we partied under the stars just last night."
