The Wedding and More…

DIY wedding inspiration and ideas for a rustic barn wedding.

Hello! Do you remember me, Diane of In My Own Style?

DIy-Wedding-at-Hermitage-Hill-Farm-and-Stable

It has been awhile since I last posted. :-)

Since June 9th I have been in “wedding mode” that included pre and post wedding events. I decided to go off the grid and enjoy the time off from the blog and all things internet. I have never done that before and figured after 9 years of blogging, going on a little break would be OK.

It turns out it was a good thing, as the events and our travels the past two weeks have given me lots of inspiration.

Most bloggers share family photos on Facebook, but since Facebook only shows about a dozen of my followers my posts, I decided to share them in a post right here on my blog. Get ready for photo overload.

It is the perfect way for me to get back into blogging mode.

Barn Wedding at Hermitage Hill Farm and Stables in Waynesboro, Va

My oldest daughter got married on June 16th. It was a wedding that I helped organize from afar down to reserving hotel blocks and buses to and from the venue. Ordering flowers, making decor, and more. I will share a few of the DIY’s I did with you over the next few weeks. I relied heavily on Pinterest for ideas that I could make at home and transport 6 hours away.

Cheers-in-Lake-Murray

A week before the wedding, we had 6 of her friends and my son-in-laws parents came down to the lake house for a little pre-wedding fun.

Lake house fun

The weather was perfect and there was lots of action on the water…

…and right off the dock all week.

Races…

…obstacle courses and more. It was action packed.

lake house

On Thursday before the wedding we packed up 4 cars with tons of wedding stuff and drove to the wedding destination. We ran around all day Friday getting last minute stuff and then headed to the rehearsal dinner on Friday night.  I was pretty exhausted at this point, but still had to set up for the wedding.

On Saturday morning, the day of the wedding, we headed to the venue to get everything setup before the first bus load of guests arrived. It was the perfect setting for my daughter who loves horses and has been riding since she was in second grade.

It was a beautiful place. Since the sun was shining, we had the ceremony outside. If it rained, the ceremony would have been…

…held inside the stable area…

… here. The chairs outside are placed in here with a middle aisle. Since it was outside, guests had the freedom to explore all over the farm and stables.

DIY Barn wedding

The reception area is where I had to put my past experience as a retail visual merchandiser and DIY skills to use. We had to set everything up. We paid for the use of the farm for the day that included the table and chairs, everything else had to be brought in or rented. Caterers, bar tenders, tablecloths… everything even down to 35 big bags of ice for the bars.

We kept the decorations simple using colorful bandanas for napkins that we bought on Amazon to add color to the space.

Baby’s Breath in Mason jars as the centerpieces.

Out by the entrance and bar area, I set up a table for…

…seating cards, photos and favors.

This part of the venue is where the guests first came and the cocktail hour started. I set up a Popcorn Bar so the guests could munch while they drank and waited for all the guests coming on two charter buses to arrive.

After about 45 minutes everyone went outside for the ceremony with drinks in hand.  It was a very casual and fun affair and told everyone to dress comfy. Shorts were fine and many wore them.

I wore a sleeveless Gingham Pleated-Neck Shift Dress.   My daughter’s dress was my younger sister’s wedding dress. It was perfect and helped keep wedding expenses on budget.

My twin sister wore the same dress as me. One fun part of being an identical twin. We got everyone confused as to who was who. :-) I am on the left.

One of my favorite photos.

The farm had many great places for photo ops.

Walkways, paths, and an outdoor fireplace and patio where we got to watch the sunset.

Men's casual wedding attire ideas

We set up games out on the lawn. I wasn’t sure anyone would play, but…

…they did until it got too dark to see.

I mentioned in a post a few weeks ago that I was making a tiered stand for the wedding donuts. I made it so it can be taken apart. It was the only way to transport it.

They were delish and enjoyed by all.

Barn Wedding

There was only one bridesmaid, my younger and the best man was a friend of my son-in-law.

Planning a wedding took a lot of time and effort, but in the end…was worth every minute. The day was everything they wanted… a party that was wedding themed, nothing fancy or traditional. As one of my friends said, she did it just like you… in her own style.  :-)

Wedding Video:

Thanks to Beth M. for making this video.

On Monday, Ed and I headed to Pennsylvania for a few days and to attend another wedding of one of our younger daughter’s friends. The festivities for this wedding started on Thursday night in center city Philadelphia.

Independence-Hall-in-Philadelphia

We checked into a hotel in Philadelphia for two nights and during the day we did sightseeing.

The-Liberty-Bell

I had toured the Liberty Bell as a kid, Ed however mentioned that he had never seen the Liberty Bell, even after living in the Philadelphia area for 22 years. So we headed there so he could check it off his bucket list of places to go.

Ocean-City-New-Jersey-Boardwalk

On Saturday after the second wedding in a week, we left Philadelphia and headed to the shore for two days. Friends of ours have a home in Stone Harbor, NJ and they invited us to spend the weekend there with them. It was nice to sit on the beach with a book and just relax after going non-stop for the past two weeks.

On Monday we drove back to South Carolina. Yesterday, I breathed… Today I feel like life is back to normal once again.

    What a lovely informal wedding! It’s so nice to see a couple do this instead of the overblown, budget busting weddings that couples have today. Everything was just beautiful and the guests look like they were having a blast! Congrats to the happy couple.!!!

    My granddaughter is getting married later this month. I love the popcorn bar idea.
    In the lake pictures, I noticed that you have a paddle board that has peddles. I have been thinking of getting one and was wondering how you like yours. It looks like fun as well as a good workout. I have tried to find me a used one as they are a little pricey.

The video is great and puts a smile on my face. Looking forward to a visit at the lake. Keep on blogging… have always loved your creativity and style. Jaye & Dave

    Beautiful Diane and what a wonderful casual wedding. I know it was a lot of work but you made it look easy.
    I love all the details and I know the beautiful bride and her handsome hubby were more than happy with the way it turned out. Of course I am partial to horses and stables as we raised (and showed) Western Pleasure horses for years and years.
    Are you going to Haven next week?

    Looks like the wedding had ‘fun’ written all over it! So many creative touches uniquely yours. Very refreshing to see such a relaxed, casual setting, the candid images. The photo of Ed playing croquet with the little girl looks like a print ad for a ‘liquid refreshment’ product or men’s clothing line from an upscale magazine. :) My father was a professional photographer so we grew up with him spending many a Saturday off taking wedding pics (in the 50s, 60s, 70s). Mostly b&w, mom did some pastel tinting. Interesting to see how weddings have evolved over the decades (with some now revisiting the ‘vintage’ look). Thanks for sharing, Diane!

      Hi Cam – My daughter has a friend who wants to have a side business as a wedding photographer. She took most of the photos at the wedding. I took a few myself, including the one of Ed you mentioned. It is come out nice. Just a lucky shot when everything simply came together, light, angle, etc. :-)

      Growing up with your parents in the business must have been interesting to have seen how the industry has grown and changed and like most things, see the trends come back around again.

      Hi Jen – Thanks. I got the idea for the popcorn bar on Pinterest. It was a huge hit. Most of my friends can tell my twin sister and I apart, but they get a kick out of the way we talk, move, and express ourselves the same way when they see us together.

    OMG! I loved everything. What a neat idea for the venue. Kelly looks exactly like you but your sister – well that’s just crazy. I thought I was seeing double. So cute that you two dressed alike. Hubby ain’t bad either! LOL. The two attendants was genius. My son and his wife had 10 (YES 10) on each side when they got married in Aug 2014. It was pandemonium plus! It looks like you all had fun pre and post wedding. Get some rest. The blog can wait.

      Thanks for the good advise Elaine. I am doing just that and slowly getting back into my daily routine. Kelly does look like me and my youngest, Mandy looks like Ed. The wedding we went to in Philadelphia had 12 – 6 on each side, which I thought was a lot. Wow 10 attendants at your sons wedding. That is a lot. I am sure it made both your son and his wife to have so many friends right there with them. :-)

      Hi Marianne – You have a good eye and of course those in the know, know that there is no boardwalk in Stone Harbor. On our way home we had to go north to get on the AC Expressway so we decided to stop and eat breakfast at Browns on the OC boardwalk. We also went to Shrivers to get some taffy. That is where I took the photo. :-) It was a beautiful day, which made it really hard to leave on our 11 hour trip home.

I just looked at the post for a second time and saw the video. Don’t know how I missed it. What a fun wedding. Did they go to Hawaii for their honeymoon? Wishing Kelly and Roger the very best.

    Diane,
    Once again you show your talents as a designer. I love that the wedding was personal and not a great big showy event. Venue was amazing and your were blessed to have a beautiful day. The simplicity of the decor and that you made it, was more meaningful then the overblown excess that is so popular these days. Loved your nod to people who were missing?.
    Enjoy your blog, Sue

I got the idea for the board to show the grandparents and family and friends who passed away… on Pinterest. It was one small way to remember those that played a huge part in Kelly and Rogers lives.

    Now this was fun and simple. I hate weddings where eb eff rything is so stiff and formal. This looked so fun and everyone looked relaxed!

    Donuts were awesome looking and the popcorn bar great idea!

    People relaxing and playing games!!!

    Great job!

    What a delightfully fun event! They and everyone who attended will remember it forever, and smile at each and every memory. You did yourself proud, Diane! And I must say it’s amazing how much Kelly looks like you! By the way, I knew it was you on the left….without you even saying it!

    Congratulations Diane and family! What a beautiful wedding and the bride and groom just beamed! We too are getting ready for our son’s wedding in 23 days. I am learning to use a Cricut, with no manual, for the first time so I can make signs. I could feel your exhaustion from here, but we would do no less for our children. I hope you catch up on some well deserved rest!
