Rachel and Neil got married atop Burritt on the Mountain.  The day called for rain, but the skies cleared in time!  Their wedding was filled with DIY projects and details, including teacup stenciled save the dates, custom designed wedding programs with a silhouetted bridal party made by Rachel, a button bouquet made by Rachel’s mother, teacup centerpiece arrangements assembled by Rachel’s mother, handmade button magnets to hold each escort card (also made by Rachel’s mother!).  Their day was truly beautiful!  A special thanks to Neeshia Albrecht of Poppy June Photography for tag teaming this wedding with me!  She captured one of my most favorite images below!

Fun facts from their wedding day:

  • The save the date was a spin off the tea cup theme. Rachel’s mom found a tea cup stencil and pretty paper that reassembled tea cup pattern. Rachel purchased personalized tea bags that fit perfectly in the tea cup paper. Love is Brewing is written at the top of the card.
  • Rachel was able to make her own wedding program design. She took the exact color swatches of each of the bridesmaid/groomsmen attire and used that in the program.
  • The tea bag favors were also a part of the tea cup theme. Each guest received a bag with two cookies dipped in chocolate in the shape of tea bags. At the end of the cookie was a small string with our names and the wedding date.
  • The tea cups took several months to collect. Rachel’s mom went to antique stores, shopped online and went to estate sales to find these tea cups. She was very particular about the color, shape and pattern. They had over 12 tables to decorate, and Rachel’s mom assembled and arranged the tea cups in different ways. They used sticky tape to hold them together.
  • The escort cards were actually the back of the invitation response cards. Rachel’s mom created button magnets which each card had. These were placed on an old window frame that had been converted into a board.
  • The cake knife Rachel and Neil used was Rachel’s parents.
  • Rachel and Neil met on the Ocoee River.  In celebration of this, they asked guests to sign their name on wooden paddles
