Anna & Sean – May Wedding

May 23, 2017 By Wendy Leave a Comment

One of the sweetest, most adorable couples I’ve ever met were married last May. Anna’s step-father performed the ceremony and walked her down the first half of the aisle then handed her off to her bio dad while her step-dad then took his place as minister. Sean literally bounced with excitement when he first saw Anna come down the aisle. It was emotional and lovely.

Anna’s unique dress had a back floral applique detail with bling closure. The bridesmaids wore soft, flowing gray dresses and the groomsmen wore suspenders. Burgundy accents in the flowers and navy tablecloths with natural touches of burlap, wood, and lace completed the look. Photography of the couple’s engagement, bridals, and wedding was by Taylor Cline.

We added two tall galvanized buckets either side of the arbor filled with babies breath. 1812 Hitching Post provided aisle mason jars hung with raffia containing babies breath and sunflowers provided by the bride. Guests signed Jenga pieces that bride provided. Our wine barrel tied with burlap held the couple’s unity candle.

The centerpieces were created from the bride’s provided painted white bottles and babies breath on top of our wood slab centerpiece bases topped with a doily and our jelly jar candles. Muted fall leaves lined the jelly jars for just a touch of fall color. The chairs were covered and sashed with burlap. It was one of the prettiest reception set-ups I’ve ever seen!

Entrees of grilled chicken and pork tenderloin with sides of roasted red potatoes, sweet potato casserole, tossed salad, and rolls
