Couple Allie and Joe picked what looked like the perfect day to tie the knot at the SEL Event Center in Pullman WA. We’re big fans of the long classic veil, the feminine bridesmaids dresses and of course the DIY personal touches throughout the wedding. Gotcha Photography was there to capture this special day.
Here’s what the beautiful bride had to say:
“Our wedding was very much DIY from the centerpieces to the mason jar chandelier. Our venue was the SEL Event Center, and they were extremely helpful in putting the wedding on! With that said, the venue was basically a blank canvas, so we had to get creative to give it the rustic style I was going for.”

The flower arrangements we did ourselves, but we got the baby’s breath from Costco, the white roses from wholeblossoms.com, and the pink roses from Safeway. Most of the decorations were either DIY, borrowed from friends, or bought from Hobby Lobby. The playlist was put together by my friend, and all of the singers and musicians during the ceremony were friends as well.
