This extremely cute and cheerful DIY wedding was submitted to us by Ashley Brockinton Photography. The wedding was held at a private estate in Fort Myers Beach, Florida. We Love the color combo and all of the adorable details! It seems like everyone had such a fabulous and relaxed day! It is no surprise that this DIY is done so well, the bride, Tara is a jewelry designer (Check out her work)! The bride’s sister is responsible for the lovely florals and her mom and dad get credit for the cake. You can follow Ashley on Twitter and to get to know more about Ashley Brockinton Photography, take a look at this fun-tastic video of her and her husband Sam!
Mmm. I LOVE Ashley’s work! So glad you posted this!
such precious details! what a thoughtful bride to go to all the effort of having things for her guests to protect them from the elements!
So fresh and vibrant!
I really, really love this. Creating your OWN wedding is so important. I think in this economy we’re finally starting to see that the whole marraige part is what matters most! I’m posing this on my blog!! Thanks for the inspiration.
I loved the Sam and Ashley vid – so creative and fun.
Love love the DIY wedding – can I have one??? private estate on the beach? I kind of have one of those…. super low key but still had a very special vibe.
So simple and adorable! Like a breath of fresh air!
Thank you Leila and everyone that left comments! Chris and Tara were sooooo amazing. They met at art school in New York and a lot of their bridal party were artists too. The energy was electric that day (not electric like the electric slide- I’ve had way too much of that song!) and everyone was so easy to work with and photograph.
OMG! I’m in l.o.ve!
Jamie! you can definitely have it! and i agree with Deb and AbiQ. I LOVE it.
Thank you Ashley for the inspiration.. I love passing along the joy and gift of life and happiness you captured for Tara and Chris.
I love the yellow and blue, it fits the beach theme perfectly!
Leila, thank you so much for the post about our wedding! I’m so happy that it can serve as an inspiration to others. The DIY aspect of the wedding left us with so many charming stories and really fond memories. Plus, it was so special to see all of our friends and family come together for us.
And, thank you to Ashley and Sam Brockinton! Ashley and Sam were so down-to-earth, and so wonderfully energetic and creative that they fit perfectly into the day. They made us feel so comfortable. They were absolutely fantastic!
Since the wedding, Chris and I have found ourselves missing Florida. So, about two weeks ago, we packed up, left New York City, and moved to Miami!
Our wedding really did mark a new chapter in our lives, thank you all for sharing in it!
