A farm wedding handmade with love

Jennifer and Russ held a gorgeous almost-totally-DIYed wedding at Jennifer's parent's farm in Ocala, FL. After their outdoor ceremony under a giant tree, they had a reception with a bourbon bar, alcoholic cupcakes, and a s'mores pit! There were lots of handmade details including the invitations, the centerpieces, the felt bouquets, and even Jennifer's jewelry.

Check out the awesome photos from the day, captured by YouAreRaven.
