A DIY wedding with burlap, mason jars & cotton in Southwick, MA

I featured Alysha + Joe’s engagement session at Chatham Light Beach last year, and today I get to share their wonderful wedding in Southwick, Massachusetts! Alysha made the entire day incredibly personal with lots of DIY details, and dani. fine photography captured their special day!

The inspiration behind our wedding was a rustic elegance with touches of hydrangea blue, burlap and mason jars. I am a wedding photographer so the hardest part was finding a venue with meaning to us that I hadn’t already shot many weddings at. When we found The Ranch we instantly fell in love with it, it was the perfect venue for us. I love details, so having a wedding full of personal details was important to me. Because I’m a creative person most of our wedding details were DIY. One of my favorite details that I put together was the Message in a Bottle. I knew I wanted to be able to relive our wedding, on our anniversaries, so we took four different wine bottles and put labels with different years on them. We wrote a sign called “message in a bottle” asking our guests to write us a little note with advice, love, or fun memories to help remind us of our special day. Another favorite detail of mine was the Just Married sign that I made. I tied it along the back of the antique truck we drove to our reception. We have so many favorite moments of the day, from running through the rain to hop in our antique truck, sipping sweet tea at our cocktail hour to our first dance. The wedding day went by so fast! My advice to all brides is to enjoy every moment of the day. The whole wedding exceeded my expectations in every way possible, we could not be happier… I only wish we could do it all over again! – Alysha
