Ingold's Race to The Finish Line (Running themed wedding)

Well, It's been about 3 years since I've actually have posted anything but I just had to blog my wedding. A lot has happened in 3 years too much to go over but I'm a married women now!!  This blog is about my wedding and how different it was and I hope to inspire other DIY brides looking for a different theme.

My husband I are both runners, and collegiate cross country/track coaches so we knew we wanted to incorporate running into the wedding, yet keep a rustic them. I was a DIY bride and made all the decorations as well as the bouquets and boutineers. 

Our invitations were running themed, the save the date was a bib number, created on vistaprint.

The first way we incorporated running was the table numbers. Each table was a track event. We also had participation ribbons (ribbons galore customized) on the table for each guest, as well as running shoe charms (Etsy) sprinkled on the table.

The biggest hit I think anyways was the grooms cake, a track replica!! We also had a bride and groom runner cake topper.

We did our grand entrance to Chariots of Fire, and the maid of honor and best man held out a finish line barrier (vistaprint) we ran through.

Instead of a bouquet toss I did a baton toss "relay" as in the next person in line

We even had our tea in a 5 gallon gatorade jug which I spray painted silver to go with the rustic theme.

I believe that is all we did to incorporate running into our wedding. I hope my wedding inspires other brides and helps them come up with unique themes. Don't be scared to be a DIY bride it really wasn't bad to do and I had a lot of fun creating my day. 

Till next time, 
Mrs. Ingold
