Michelle + Devon are high school sweethearts. No denying that love stories that include this title are going to draw a major “AWW!!” But these two are not your average duo! Despite growing up together only being separated by a few years, these two got together at prom. A few years later than your’re thinking though. When they crossed in the hallways this time around, these two super sweet, quirky, fun loving teachers had so much share the and with hearts so big. Michelle asked Devon to prom, and the rest is for the books. Family Creative Imagery has captured and shared their sweet story filled with whimsical and vintage details.
Now let’s talk about a crafty team here. Devon’s mother took care of the calligraphy for the invitations while his sister created the illustrations. That brilliant teal and red color combo was a mix of the couple’s favorite colors. The decor was themed after their love of books. Michelle created the beautiful aisle vignettes and centerpieces from vintage finds and good old schoolhouse crafting. She and her bridesmaids also crated all of the flower arrangements. My favorite twist from this wedding was that in order to get the bride and groom to kiss at the reception, a donation had to be made to a charity called Child of Mine, supporting the construction of a school for orphans in India.
Thank you Family Creative Imagery for sharing such a lovely school house romance! Congratulations Michelle + Devon!
