Sam & Nick. An Elegant Rustic Vineyard Wedding by Samantha Donaldson Photography

By Jax


Today's beautiful wedding is a gorgeous blend of elegant and rustic, all beautifully captured by one of my favies SAMANTHA DONALDSON. I am a little bit obsessed with the bridesmaids robes and the bow on the back of the brides dress, and how dapper do the boys look in those braces and bowties! (Oh and I am in LOVE with Peggy Sue (the car!) Congratulations to the gorgeous couple and a huge thank you to SAMANTHA DONALDSON for sharing this fab day with us. Enjoy!

In three words describe your wedding style... What were your save and splurge items for your wedding? Did you DIY? If so what did you do? Do you have any tips or tricks for engaged couples?

Rustic and, classy and simple

Money mostly went to important things - food, band, venue, photographer

Yes, candles, some flowers, table runners, invites, table numbers, wood signage for guests, sam and nick sign,

Organize in advance so the build up 1-2 weeks before is calm and exciting. Take moments on the day to take it all in otherwise it goes too fast.
