If anyone ever tells you you can’t have a beautifully designed wedding full of details while on a budget, this wedding should tell you otherwise. I secondshot this Springfield Manor Winery & Distillery Wedding with Anny Photography and every last detail is gorgeous and it was all created on a budget! Julia & Stephen worked very hard DIYing their wedding and that handwork paid off tenfold. See more photos on Ann’s blog here.
The ceremony took place at the University of Maryland Memorial Chapel. It was one of the sweetest ceremonies and full of family and friends. They had 10 flower girls dressed in big white tulle skirts, flower crowns and flower wands. It was adorable!! See more images here on Ann’s blog.

A quite moment before it all starts.

A quiet moment after the ceremony, just the two of them. These are some of my favorite moments to just stand back like a little fly on the wall and click away.

Springfield Manor is GORGEOUS!! & may now be one of my favorite venues!

So remember how I said all of this was created on a budget…you would have no idea! It’s so gorgeous!!!

Let’s just talk about the cake for a second…this is a COSTCO CAKE! Yes, you read that right, Costco! You know the big warehouse wholesale concrete of a building…yup! So they ordered a Costco sheet cake without frosting, put it into three circles, stacked them on top of each other, threw on some berries and sprinkled some powder sugar and ta-da a stunning and scrumptious wedding cake for probably about $50!

The table moss was purchased and cleaned by the bride. For the succulents – some were purchased online and some were grown by the bride herself and she’s rumored to have said that she prefers the ones she grew herself. She thinks they’re prettier! The vases that the succulents are in were made from clay which was mixed and molded by the bride.

All the calligraphy accents were written and created by the incredible Grace of Gracestype.

I love her second dress!! She looks gorgeous in both of her dresses but this well definitely pairs perfectly with a party!!
