Victoria Vogt and Scott Davis married in a May outdoor wedding for 300 guests at Driscoll Estate in Taylorsville, Kentucky. The day brought nice, though windy weather, and a little issue with an arbor altar brought the families together. “My stepdad and I built our arbor in sections so it was easy to transport,” says Victoria. “but 30 minutes before I was to walk down the aisle, the wind blew it over. Seeing the guests helping piece it back together really made me realize how supportive and caring people truly are. Luckily, people had power tools in their cars and were also able to paint over the dirt.Best Money Saving Tip: DYI anything and everything. We got baby’s breath for flowers and did really simple centerpieces. I found pieces from other weddings that went with our theme.
