Nikki was a “hands on” type of bride. She was a D.I.Y. Bride. So much of the decorating she had done herself and with the help of friends. She loves the rustic look and found many of her decorating items in vintage shops and at garage sales.The day of the wedding she made sure her hair and makeup were done early, and there she was, in the old barn decorating! She loved gathering flowers, spelling out L-O-V-E in the field which was filled with Queen Anne’s Lace and she wanted cute photos with her ring bearer and flower girl using cool old frames. Max the ring bearer was pretty excited for his part in the ceremony, but when it came time to walk with the rings he started to get a little shy. Nikki is very close to her dad and both were quite emotional during the father-daughter dance. She was a beautiful bride, and many of her handmade wedding decorations and vintage items she planned to use in her and Don’s home after they were married!
Nikki made cute decorations for her ring-bearer Max to carry, and also a thank you card!
