Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful long weekend. We have a sweet, romantic, whimsical wedding to start the week off today. Jenn + Matt had so many unique details to their wedding to really make it theirs. I love that they had their bridal party in rainbow colors because the rainbow is a symbol of promise and they watered a tree together during their ceremony that they plan to plant behind their house and watch grow every single day. Gorgeous photos thanks to Three Nails Photography.
The wedding was held at the weekend/camp house of a family friend. They let us use the camp as a gift to us, we saved a lot – and are so grateful! Plus, it is gorgeous and private!!
I walked down the aisle to the song “everlasting light” by the black keys. This is also engraved into his ring. It’s a special song to us, and the intro was great for the bridal party to bee bop down to!
Most memorable moment of the day? Mr. says when I walked down the aisle – and when I forgot my vows!! I have a hard time choosing, hiding behind the bush before I walked down the aisle, my dad getting on me for picking my nose (I didn’t want boogers and forgot to check…don’t judge!), when Matt and I kissed, when I went overboard stuffing his face with cake, sitting around the water after most guests left with all my old friends.
How did you make the day about the two of you? We thought about how we would do everything, there was no “this is how it’s supposed to go” and leave it at that. Every detail showed our individuality, such as the tree planting – something that intertwines our love of nature into the ceremony and something we will grow with. All of the decorations and details were crafted by myself, family, and friends. We added wording to the pastor’s (who is an inspiring person in our life and Matt’s boss) speech that meant a lot to us and we wrote our own vows.
Any advice for those planning now? Spend the most on photography/videography.don’t stress over details. Have back-up bridesmaids/groomsmen. Make sure not to let the day be controlled by someone else. Make it personal to you and your groom, don’t be afraid to break tradition. You aren’t close with people who are so uptight they’ll be mad at you for something you decided to do for you & your new hub!
Thanks so much Jenn + Matt for sharing your day with us. We wish you both the best life together!! And for those of you reading and in love with their gorgeous photos by Three Nails Photography, you will want to head over to his blog and check out his contest where he is giving one lucky couple free wedding photography!

Holy crap! That is the most beautiful wedding I think I have ever seen. Love the shot with the bridesmaids dresses. Just lovely. :)
I love it!
i love how full of love this wedding is. and how free spirited. the mentality of not doing anything just cause that’s how it should be done is perfect for weddings and for life actually. good for them :)
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! Every single detail is perfect and the photography is just BEYOND fabulous! I think this is one of my favorite weddings ever!
that is really really beautiful.
I love how natural, colourful and honest these images are! What a beautiful wedding!
Beautiful. Adore the bride’s boho look – like @jackie says – so freespirited.
I barely have the words this is just so stunning!
the BEST wedding ive ever seen on Green Wedding Shoes! Bravo!
I LOVE this bohemian rainbow wedding…what a gorgeous couple! Love all the pretty colors and her pretty headpiece!
This wedding made me happy! They did things completely their way, which meant mixing in new with stuff they already love. Gives me a boost of “go get ‘em” for our wedding in 10 days.
Gorgeous photos and wedding! But, did I miss something? How did they plan to have a rainbow appear? If that was random (or planned even), that is jaw-droppingly amazing.
I am in complete awe with this wedding…stunning!
Literally couldnt breathe while looking at these pictures
Any details on the bridesmaids dresses? They’re too die for!
People’s ability to capture such personal treasures that are reflective of them is so beautiful to see. This is really beautiful
@Caitlin – it rained that day!!

that shot of the first kiss? amazing. you can see the love.
The photos are absolutely precious. Love the rainbow make-up on one of the bridesmaids; and those hanging jar lights are soooo lovely! ♥
This is my favorite wedding ever!!! It’s everything I want in my wedding! Congrats to the couple!
so refreshing and beautiful!
OH MY GOSH!!!!!! Are you kidding me? This is the most AMAZING wedding I have ever seen!!!! The bride and groom should be models! Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING is just stunning. I read the brides comments and I am with her on making sure the photographer is the most important thing beacause you simply must have something as awesome as this captured so you can look back on it forever. These photographs are stunning. I am already married and although I loved my photographer and I have awesome photos sadly they just dont compare to the artwork that these pictures are. I wish I had had the courage to “step out of the norm” and do something as beautiful as this. Congrats to the bride and groom and BRAVO to the photograper for capturing such a beautiful day in such a stunning way.
This is the most Colorful wedding i have ever seen!! i love it!!!!

EYECANDY PLUS???
Talk about a FUN wedding!! I would NEVER be brave enough to be THAT much myself at a wedding (picking my nose?? and the bridesmaids makeup!!) but golly gosh they pulled it off! A fairy tale come alive!!
I agree with the fact that it is VERY important to get a photographer that is going to make your day look a million bucks (even if you didn’t spend that much). But I think these guys didn’t just get an amazing photographer…. they pulled off the most mindblowing of events! Well done you two!!
I have been following this blog for months,trying to get ideas for my own wedding coming up. When I clicked on to this particular wedding I cried!! This couple will be forever thankful for the choice they made in photographers. Its money well spent when its something you’ll have forever!! I hope this photographer will travel to wisconsin!!
Beautiful couple!! Wonderful concept!! Artsy pic taker!!
LOVE the rainbow bridesmaid dresses and the butterfly cake! Such a fun wedding!
This wedding just made number one in my books. AWESOME!
wow. wow. wow. wow. wow. wow. wow. wow. wow. wow. wow. wow. wow. wow.
this is exactly the location i have been dreaming of, please tell me its on the west coast- im dying to know!
Oh. I think I have just fallen in love again. How beautiful is this wedding, how amazing is the photography and how unique is this couple. It’s absolutely wonderful how they went all out with their personality and created such a unique, fun, gorgeous atmosphere. It is simple beautiful. Simply beautiful!
Jen – this is a gem!
Adorable!! The bright and rainbow colors are to die for! What a very creative wedding. The bride is gorgeous and I love her vintage-1960s-floral tiara. Too cute and definitely bohemian! The photography is spot on for the vintage/flower-child theme, the candy table is so creative (I just can’t stop staring at all of the fine details and bright colors!), and I love the bride’s dresses. Change of wardrobe at the wedding? No longer old hat– a definite must-do now! Love love! This post is the perfect way to start out the summer month of June! :)
