Today we're sharing the summer picnic-themed and ultimate handmade DIY wedding of Vancouver crafter Siobhan Rich of Magpie and Cake and her husband Chris. The mix of red and white checks, wicker picnic baskets and natural woodland surroundings makes for adorable and personal nuptials. Here's Sioban's description of their special day held this past July.
Chris and I were married this summer, in July. We live in Vancouver, but chose to get married at Linden Gardens in Kaleden, in the Okanagan. The gardens are lovely, and when Chris suggested we have our guests sit on picnic blankets, I was sold.
Our whole wedding was DIY and handmade with love, from the picnic blankets our guests sat on, to the 200 or so feet of bunting that I sewed. I'm a maker/crafter, so I was really excited to make our
wedding look and feel just how we imagined. It was a truly magical day. We got married in the garden, and after the ceremony our guests enjoyed lemonade while playing a game called cornhole (bad name, great game). We then went inside for a delicious barbeque dinner, pie, and dancing.
