A Real Hi-Fi Wedding: Christen & Kevin’s Farm Frolic
Christen and Kevin really love music, and wanted to incorporate that adoration into their darling DIY wedding. Family friends played tunes before and after the ceremony, made gorgeous flower arrangements, catered the reception, and made the adorable cake and cupcakes with Christen’s special recipe. As an ode to the beloved Elvis, Christen rocked the blue suede shoes (don’t ya think?!) And being a country bride, she couldn’t cut loose on the dance floor properly without a pair of cowgirl boots for the reception. Christen and Kevin both have a taste for music from the 50s and 60s, and reflected that among their decor and playlist. From the table names on hand-painted signs, to their (TWO!) first dance songs: Earth Angel by Buddy Holly/Then I Kissed Her by the Beach Boys! Peek on to see their fabulous farm frolic!
