Making her bridesmaids feel like \u201crunway goddesses\u201d was this bride\u2019s pleasure for her DIY wedding.<\/p>\n

Jenna Barlow married Jacob Fulop on January 29, 2016, just three months after their engagement. \u201cWe had decided pretty early on in our relationship that we wanted to get married and after the proposal we didn’t want to wait too long,\u201d smiles Jenna, aged 25.<\/p>\n

She had met Jacob, also 25, while studying Liberal Arts at Campion College Australia, NSW \u2013 the same location the couple celebrated their reception. \u201cIt was through an appreciation of our studies that we were able to meet, so having the wedding reception at the gorgeous campus was hugely sentimental for us,\u201d says the bride.<\/p>\n

So with the perfect, sentimental venue in mind \u2013 the bride got planning the finer details of the day \u2013 many made herself or by family and friends. \u201cWe have a lot of talented friends and some creative skills ourselves, so we figured we could do a lot of stuff on our own,\u201d she says. With the help of her mum, Jenna made her own gown and headpiece<\/a>, and styled the bridesmaids with their choice of dress from various stores. Her maid of honour even wore a jumpsuit!<\/p>\n

\u201cI get such a thrill out of aesthetics and making people feel beautiful, so styling the bridesmaids was the one of the best parts of the day for me,\u201d describes the bride. \u201cI wanted them to look like runway goddesses and they all looked and felt gorgeous, which was incredibly fulfilling for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
