Vintage DIY Wedding

This Vintage DIY wedding took place in Snyder, Texas.  Every bit of the details were done mostly if not all by the bride. The invitations and banners were made by her too! She is a super talented graphic designer and pulled out all the cards for this joyous occasion.  Over time, Whitney collected vintage pieces for their wedding.  She worked hard collecting these pieces and I love how she designed and decorated the whole day. The reception area included an ice cream parlor and a super chic candy bar.  Check it out below!
