Wedding Website

A real labor of love (including meticulously cutting out and collaging 100+ flowers from the generous folks at the Biodiversity Heritage Library), I proudly present: luisandsarah.com, the website for our recent wedding.

Wedding Website Home Page

Lots of sweet images in the full-width responsive slider. Including this one of us jumping off the dock where the wedding was held:

Cowabunga!

Here are some of the other pages:

Wedding Website Accommodations Page

The wedding was small (under a hundred guests) and a bit remote. We were so touched by our friends and family who traveled from near and far (and farther!) to be there with us.

Wedding Website RSVP

I had A LOT of fun making our paper invitations (will do a post on those soon), but we kept the RSVPs digital to cut down on costs….and to force people to venture to the dang website, bwahahaha.

Wedding Website Thank you page

Beyond logistics, I thought it’d be fun to also include some mushy and/or human interest content.

Like our little story:

Wedding Website Love Story

(Maybe not so little?)

And also some miscellanea, including a collection of the things we love, snapshots of wedding dresses that didn’t make the cut, and a few of our favorite love stories from books and movies.

Wedding Website Misc Page

What’s awesome about making a website for yourself? Well, for one, you can do whatever you want! So I took that liberty to pepper the site with quotes and passages that felt like us. Such as:

Mary Oliver Quote

Gadfly poem For This

^ This, folks, is a true story. I wanted it as a reading during the ceremony, but it was sorta awkwardly short.

ee cummings poem

Enough with the romance. How about the specs? Well, this site is responsive and hand-coded (with love).
