*Remember the post I did a few days ago on those amazing handmade, scrapbook inspired wedding details?  I got the go ahead from Noaillese to do a post of the entire wedding, so here it is!

The Bride: Noaillese, 25, Software Engineer

The Groom: Warren, 25, Computer Science PhD Student

The Location: The Villa Antonia in Austin, Texas

Wedding Colors: Apple Green and Eggplant Purple

What made this wedding modern: A modern color combination mixed with squares, bold flowers, and the use of hand made paper projects made Noaillase and Warren’s big day stand out.

Where they splurged: Once Noaillese and Warren saw the Villa Antonia in Austin, they couldn’t say no, and their biggest splurge automatically became the venue and the food.

Where they saved: Noaillese made all of the stationery herself, including invitations, programs, menus, and table numbers (yes, she’s a crafty gal - complete with her own etsy store!).  She also priced out doing the flowers herself and then found a florist willing to match her calculated price.  This is a bit of wedding vendor negotiation we could all learn from - great idea!

The outdoor ceremony - no wonder they fell in love with the venue!

The best part of the wedding:

“My favorite part of the wedding was sitting down at the sweetheart table with my new husband and just taking a deep breath.” It’s these quiet moments that we remember the most about a wedding.

Looking back, what they would have changed:

Noaillese and Warren had a no regrets wedding -  When asked what she would change Noaillese replied “Nothing really.  I remember spending the whole day smiling and that’s all I could ask for.”

Some of the "negotiated" flowers - wait till you see the rest!

Told you they were amazing!

Her Advice:

” Enjoy the planning process but don’t worry about it too much.  And on the day of the wedding don’t let anything bother you.  Just enjoy the time spent with family, friends, and your new husband.“

Check out these amazing do-it-yourself scrapbook-inspired wedding ideas from an old friend of mine that just got married.

My friend Noaillese is a die hard scrapbooker who can turn puffy letters and ho-hum pictures into a work of art with her cricut.  When it came to her wedding, she delivered on the details

The most inspiring detail in her wedding was her updated “guest book”.  Noaillese created a set up of “wish cards” where guests could write a personal note for the bride and groom.  Where would all of the notes eventually go?  Her wedding scrapbook, of course

Noaillese also made her own wishing well.  Remember those old school lacey card boxes that looked like a pimped out birdhouse gone awry?  Why go there when you can make your own.  Decorating an old shoe box isn’t too hard, and a trip to Micheal’s scrapbooking aisle will hopefully be all the inspiration you need.

The old school wishing well - good for the 1980s, not so much now

Here are some more amazing handmade details from Noaillese’s wedding.  Also, Noaillese recently opened up an Etsy shop where she sells adorable scrapbook inspired cards and trinkets.  Check out her goods at Noey’s Papers.

Each table number was different. Since there are so few, table numbers are a great way to get your hands wet as a DIYer.
