Moss is a beautiful greenery accent to use during the winter wedding season. It instantly warms up a space and is rich and earthy in texture. Moss is easy to mold and in the form of heart shapes, brings a dose of charm to a ceremony or reception space.  They can be used as bunting, a chair back, wall display or as a darling solution for aisle dividers.

Step One. First decide what shapes you would like the moss to be molded into. Trace and cut the shape out of thick card stock or cardboard.

Step Two. Purchase moss at your local craft store and tear it apart to create a more organic (wild) feel.

Step Three. Using hot glue, secure the moss to your molded cut out by the handful.

Step Four.  Glue string along the backside for bunting or use removable sticky tack to secure the molds directly to a wall (be sure to get permission from your venue first)!

What a cute craft!

Sheena and Drew planned their day for peony season in Kansas City, MO, which happens in late May.  The couple knew they wanted a relaxed vibe for their day, so when they found Fresh Air Farm, it was a perfect fit. Read more from the bride just below.  Many thanks to One Tree Photography for sharing the photos with us!

From the bride:

We met at a pick-up game of Ultimate Frisbee in May 2008.  I was just starting grad school and Drew was a new local high school biology teacher.  There were weeks of flirtation until Drew finally had the courage to ask me out.  We have spent all of our time together ever since going camping, running road races and marathons, gardening, traveling and playing with our puppy together.  In other words, we just hang out and enjoy time with each other.

We are pretty low-key and wanted a natural, relaxed setting for the wedding and reception.  We both agreed that an outdoor wedding had the most appeal to both of us; Drew is a high school biology and field & prairie ecology teacher and I am a biology/ insect ecology grad student.  I am an Army Brat and have friends and family all over the country while Drew is a Kansas City native with a very large family still mostly in the surrounding area.  We found Fresh Air Farm via Google, went out and saw the place and instantly fell in love with the setting and all-inclusiveness of their event package (they take care of set-up, food, drinks, music, nearly everything).  Everything else about the wedding was very DIY- from the hundreds of handmade doilies, wood discs, and hand-picked flowers to the handmade pennant flags that hung from the ceiling.

I can’t stop marveling at this nearly all-DIY wedding!  The bride, Megan, is an aspiring floral designer, so she created the bouquets and arrangements and hand made so many other sweet things like drink flags and bunting!  Joined by Adam, the handsome groom, the couple wed outdoors at the Rye Patch in Aiken, South Carolina.  The ceremony was followed by a charming picnic reception.  Delight in all the DIY goodness below!  A special thanks to A Fresh Take Photography for sending this our way ♥
