You know how much I love a rustic wedding, well throw in a tone of homespun DIY details and I am in heaven and today’s wedding is just that! Add in an outdoor ceremony, sun filled portrait shots and the cutest couple and you have the makings of a damn fine wedding! Todays amazing couple are Angie and Jeff who were married on 11th August at Rollinsville, Colorado, United State, Big thanks to Jackie Nuxall from Selah Photography for capturing the day for us.
We created a homespun, rustic wedding drawing on our passions in life – all against the backdrop of the continental divide on a beautiful August day in the rocky mountains. Our primary wedding theme was “Aspen” We made cake/dessert stands, wooden centerpieces, aspen coasters for favors, and a beautiful ceremony arch all using reclaimed wood from our forest. We collected pine cones for the table decorations and added wildflowers to our arrangements and my bouquet to give small touches of the Colorado wilderness we have come to love so much.
The ceremony was particularly meaningful. My grandparents married us and my dad gave the homily—while Jeff’s family and our friends participated in the readings, led the singing and prayers. My cousin interpreted Wendell Berry’s poem “The Country of Marriage” into American Sign Language during the ceremony, which was absolutely beautiful. We chose to plant an aspen grove with seedlings for our unity ritual after we said our vows. Each seedling represented our friends and family who have passed on from this life. Since aspens are the largest living organism — all connected at the roots — it was a symbolic intertwining of our communities and our love.
