The DIY paper florals in this Patapsco Valley State Park wedding, from Aimee Custis Photography, are sure to wow! We’ll let photographer, Aimee, take it from here!
“I don’t care what they say about it being lucky, no couple really wants to wake up to thunderstorms on their wedding day. But Karen + Matt were under no circumstances going to let it get them down, and it didn’t! Karen is just about one of the most bubbly, cheerful, warm people I’ve ever met. Both she and Matt are librarians, so I knew they would be super-organized and prepared, and sure enough, there were rain plans, and we executed them to a T! When we got to the hotel it was already pouring out, but luckily, we had some gorgeous window light at the hotel for getting ready and detail shots! Karen handmade all of their “florals” from lace and books, since they’re librarians. Karen made these out of the TAX CODE! She had copies lying around from her law school days, and apparently, the tissue-like paper was perfect for the DIY project. But we couldn’t stop giggling over it. When the ceremony started, it was POURING, but as the thunder whispered behind their a cappella choir’s voices, Karen’s brother walked her over to the pavilion under a giant white umbrella, and everything was perfect.”
