If the idea of a woodland wedding appeals to you – especially if you love DIY or are on a budget – then this DIY forest wedding near Lynchburg is here to inspire! It’s filled with lovely, handmade elements that Kevin and Amanda had woven throughout their day. Passionate about creating and wanting a unique, financially friendly affair, this couple had a lovely day full of whimsy and ideas.
- Amanda made her own wedding invitations (made 2 months before the wedding) and dress (sewn three weeks before the wedding).
- Flowers were purchased and arranged by the bride and her maids the day before.
- The bridesmaids were given a color palette and could either chose a solid color from the hues or pick a floral patterned dress that included the color scheme.
- The bride and bridemaids had a bachelorette party at Rivermont Makery to craft the wedding day headbands.
