so there are a  lot of the things I would like to do for our wedding (diy stuff like our own plates for the food or [cup]cakes, decorations, flowers, etc), but figured were too difficult to do when b+b and wedding venue are 3,000 miles away from each other.

but then I saw this wedding.

and it pretty much slapped my paltry excuses in the face.

the wedding location? wellfleet, cape cod.
location of the couple during the majority of the planning? london.

the similarities are deafening.

conclusion? no excuses.

now if you'll excuse me I need to go sew some bunting and collect 80 or so mis-matched plates.
