FEATURED COUPLE Logan + Taylor

How Taylor + Logan met We met on bumble, I asked if he could have any superpower what would it be. He sent me a book back as his answer weighing the pros and cons of each individual power! We spoke for about 6months before finally meeting in person! From then on we were inseparable, we Began hiking and exploring the world together. Then when I completely changed careers, taking a huge leap of faith from a secure job to the unknown of a creative career. He never doubted me, not when money was tight or I felt like giving up. So when he finally asked me to marry him I had no doubt in my mind. What was your favorite memory of the day? Really watching the whole vision come together, we have been working on this DIY, Sustainable wedding for 3 years now. Every little detail coming together and working so seamlessly was one of the most accomplishing feelings. We rescued plates, silverware, and glasses from 100s of estate sales, the vanity we rescued, painted, and completely transformed! We used scrap fabric for napkins, cut, ironed, sewed them so they could then be written on, then reused to be transformed into a wedding quilt! We used recycled Manila folders for all the invitations and programs and used seeded paper for the guest gifts. The rug we got married on is actually the rug from our home, the rug where our coffee table sits and our dogs sleep. We used dried flowers so as to give them a second life, even the garter belt was just some spare ribbon we had laying around! So getting to see those little details come together and create a WEDDING was exceptional. If you were to give advice for future brides who want to DIY Elope with Family, what would it be? My advice to future brides is to put your own little details into it, use your rug from home, that vase from your dining room table, maybe even your side table to be used as a photobooth! Whatever it is bring that piece of home and heart with you. Seeing them there made the wedding feel warm and cozy, and every day I’m in my home I see those reminders of my special day and a piece of me gets to relive it.
