On Sunday, September 9, Wild Soul Weddings owner La Rae spent the afternoon at Little Lights Events in West Branch, Iowa, celebrating the love of Jonathan and Kristen! Their sweet, intimate wedding evening was filled with DIY decor with a paper theme. We loved their beautiful handmade flowers, bouquets (made out of paper flowers!), and adorable hand-embroidered hankies.
We also love Little Lights Events in West Branch! The Engelbrechts took advantage of Little Lights’ “pop-up” wedding events.
La Rae provided Jonathan and Kristen with half day photo services. All photos by La Rae.

These flowers were made by the bride, Kristen!
Check out Kristen’s hand made paper flower bouquet! Just gorgeous!
Kristen and Jon performed their own written vows, and it was magical. Each of them read one line at a time, and alternated between the two of them. SO COOL!
Kristen and Tyler’s mama passed away, but she was definitely there in spirit. It was so beautiful for them to take this photo with a photo of their beautiful mama!

If you can’t tell, the groomsmen were somethin’ else. 
Hand embroidered hankies…and yes, they did use them throughout the day!
Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Engelbrecht! It was such an honor to witness all the love at your intimate Sunday afternoon wedding!
