Some words from the blushing bride:
We chose a family home for our wedding venue and it was intimate, romantic, and had a killer mountain and valley view. We have backgrounds in art and flowers and wanted to infuse that into our decor. As a floral designer, flowers are very important to me! I opted to keep things low and lush which showed off the beautiful spring blooms and the setting. I put together the floral arrangements and bouquets with the help of some of my closest friends and bridesmaids. Then there was our ceremony— I had my heart set on a reclaimed wood wall backdrop. This was the groom's project! After finding reclaimed wood at local shops, Tyler and his groomsman Chris set to work on building. Our cousins jumped in to help paint— it truly was a family affair! We used garden roses, peonies, tulips, delphinium, and loads of spring blooms. I scoured the grounds and foraged for specialty foliage, lilacs, and hellebores.
The hutch that served as our dessert station was made by a local wood-worker from 100+ year old cabin and barn wood. Tyler has a love for history and sweets, so this was a perfect way to display the goods! We wanted our wedding to be intimate— to reflect both of our styles, and to involve our closest friends and family. We ended up with a comfortably small guest count which promoted lots of quality time and laughter.
At the end of our ceremony we performed a 'hand fasting.' It is an old wedding ceremony tradition where your family and friends fasten ribbons around the hands of the betrothed. Our guests formed a circle where we walked around in— this enabled us to spend a moment with each person— we really felt the love! The hand fasting ceremony was beautiful and special. We had the chance to touch everyone at the start which made the whole day feel personal and intimate.
