Gabrielle & Charlie – DIY Bohemian NC Wedding

August 20, 2013

Y’all are in for real big treat with this wedding.  It’s seriously a favorite.  This wedding was completely DIY – proof that you can throw an amazingly beautiful wedding with tons of personal details on a smaller budget with help from your family and friends!  There was so much eye candy I could hardly contain myself.  And what made this day even more awesome is that I got to hang out with the sweetest, most genuine, happy couple ever.  I mean how often do you get hugs and kisses from the groom throughout the day!? Love them!!

The day took place at the Bass Lake state park in Holly Springs, NC – a beautiful space complete with water, woods and a great big white venue.  I can never say enough how much I love it when a wedding fully takes place in one location – from getting ready all the way to reception – it just makes for a really relaxed, no fuss day!  Take a look at Gabrielle’s ring – an antique amethyst! I die.
