Shelley & Erik’s crafty DIY and bluegrass wedding

These two are artsy and it shows. This pair crafted themselves into a tizzy, but the result were some gorgeous details. Even the portable toilets were pretty! But add in a bouquet toss/wire snafu, a groomsgirl who matches the groomsmen, and the bride’s awesome green dress, and there’s way more to see than just the decor.
