I hope that you can feature our wedding as I wanted your blog feature to serve as a surprise post-wedding gift and tribute to my husband for ALL the efforts that he has put into our wedding. :) -- Rebellious Bride Apple
We LOVE surprises so your wish is our command our dear Rebellious Bride Apple! So Brian? This is for you! :)
There are a lot of ways to do a Vintage wedding. In fact, the theme itself is actually more on the classic, traditional side. But once in a blue moon we chance upon rebellious couples who gravitate towards this particular theme yet they manage to make an otherwise traditional theme into something fresh and new. This is the case with Rebellious Couple Brian & Apple who created an Art Deco Vintage wedding with a lot of customized crafty details, and executed a lot of engaging interactive twists to their wedding that are beyond real! Just a teaser of how they made things interactive for guests? Their invitations were sooooooo detailed it's almost like a Customer Relationship Marketing type of thing where they created various versions of their invitation design depending on the personality of each guest, then once you RSVP, you even receive a KEY to the reception! Amazing!
But first, before I start gushing and rambling about the things we love about this rebellious wedding, here are excerpts from Rebellious Bride Apple's email :)

Soon after Brian proposed, I started looking at wedding blogs for wedding ideas (including your blog!). I was instantly inspired by so many of the couple’s creativity and amazing DIY projects. I soon realized that even with a limited budget, my keenness for craftiness, help from my husband and a year to plan, DIY handmade ideas was the way to go for us to have a wedding that was “TOTALLY US.”
Brian and I are pretty laid back, so we wanted our wedding environment and celebration style to give our family and friends the feeling that they were invited over to their home for a party. We quickly fell in love with our venue because it had the old homey and backyard feel we wanted and could easily be customized into the vintage + fun ambiance we were going for. Needless to say, Brian and I (yes, my groom actually did some handcrafted items, too!) made the perfect day happen for the two of us!
......I am of course very grateful to Brian (my husband) who folded and cut papers, glued and sewn items, boxed up crafts, and most importantly, stayed with me every step of the way.
.....I hope that you can feature our wedding as I wanted your blog feature to serve as a surprise post-wedding gift and tribute to my husband for ALL the efforts that he has put into our wedding. :)
With much love and excitement, Apple
