I’m having a moment of coral-inspired inspiration. The vibrant hue has caught my eye, pairing perfectly with a sun-kissed glow. I’ve been eyeing this Essie polish for my next manicure, and I can see why it’s a popular choice. Coral also happens to be an excellent match for modern weddings – it’s a sophisticated yet playful color that adds a touch of whimsy without being too feminine. I was over the moon when I stumbled upon Emmy & Nic’s charming DIY coral wedding at a farmer’s market, no less.
The setting was nothing short of magical, and can we talk about Emmy’s effortless chic? She looked stunning in her fitted lace dress, statement necklace, and sleek half-braided hairstyle. Thanks to Anna Lee Media for sharing these gorgeous photos with us.
The Theme
The wedding theme was an intriguing blend of old and new elements, featuring an eclectic mix of local antique dealers and markets. A palette of fresh greens, creams, and pops of coral created a visually appealing atmosphere. In terms of florals, the arrangement featured a diverse selection of roses, daisies, carnations, berries, baby’s breath, and succulent fillers.
The tables were adorned with rustic burlap and vintage bottles overflowing with wildflowers, while tea lights cast a warm glow from numerous mason jars.
The Ceremony
Nic’s father, Stephen Ruiz, delivered a powerful and emotive sermon during the ceremony; his words resonated deeply with those in attendance. His unique perspective and personal connection to Nic undoubtedly added an extra layer of significance to the proceedings, making it a truly unforgettable experience for all involved.
Décor & Details
The wedding décor was a true labor of love, with every element meticulously curated by us. From the table settings to the cake design, even the ring bearer pillow and flower girl wagon were carefully crafted. To complete the look, we also put together thoughtful parting gifts for our guests.
These included special match books featuring the phrase ‘Eat, Drink and Be Married’, mini lock-lid jars filled with a variety of sweet treats, and photo strips from the photobooth – a unique memento to commemorate the occasion.

Personal Touches
Every aspect of our special day was thoughtfully curated to reflect our unique style and love story. From my coral wedges to my maid of honor’s statement pieces, each detail was intentionally chosen to showcase our quirks and charm. The groomsmen’s personalized pocket watches added a touch of sophistication, while the antique radio cake became a showstopping centerpiece.
Even our 5-month-old daughter, who stole the spotlight by arriving at the ceremony in a rustic wagon pulled by her junior bridesmaid counterpart, fit seamlessly into the whimsical atmosphere. As guests entered the venue, they were immediately immersed in an immersive experience that was distinctly us.
