Rustic Pink and Navy Barn Wedding

When we saw this wedding, we just knew we had feature it. Chock full of charming country details and adorable signage, Madison and Cameron's rustic barn wedding is absolutely perfect. And while all the details in their wedding are amazing, our favorite part is actually the story of how the bride and groom came together.

Madison’s grandmother had discovered Cameron long before Maddie had and desperately wanted the two of them to meet. A couple of years after Maddie’s grandma pointed him out at their church, Cameron decided to ask Maddie out. Ironically enough, the sermon from that day’s mass was on serendipity, a term that means “the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way” (are you crying yet??). That serendipitous Sunday morning accidentally turned into one of the best days of their lives.

We love how much thought was put into this wedding and how much personal detail was included. Almost all the decor was DIY from the bride and her family. A big thank you to Ebby L Photography for sharing these beautiful wedding photos and this beautiful love story with us today.

Cameron and Madison set out a cart of blankets for guests to snuggle up with as the night air turned cool. Such an adorable idea for a Spring or Fall wedding. We especially love the added "Keep Cozy" chalkboard signage.

When the ceremony finished, the evening continued with a happy hour filled with cocktails, a popcorn bar, and yard games. We love the vintage lace and floral detailing of the popcorn bar and the creative "Watering Hole" bar.

Intimate Outdoor Vineyard Wedding

We may be in the thick of winter but this stunningly beautiful wedding at HammerSky Vineyards has us dreaming of the sun on our faces on a warm summer day. Curtis and Jesse's wedding is one for the books - the love these two share for each other brings these photos to life, and we can't thank A. Blake Photography enough for capturing this incredible wedding and sharing it with us.

There’s so much beauty in this California vineyard wedding that it seems unfair to have to sum it up in a few short sentences. The day began with a breathtaking ceremony under an old oak tree atop a hill surrounded with unbelievable views and plenty of grapevines. Their exchange of vows is so filled with touching moments between the bride and groom, it has us wishing we were part of the family. After a wonderful day filled with too many smiles to count, it ended with a perfectly intimate dinner followed by dancing and late night snacks in the barn under twinkling string lights. Every last detail of this summer celebration shines on its own but put it all together, and well, you'll just have to see for yourself!

The attire - from the bride's straight-out-of-a-dream blush wedding dress to the groom's light grey suit to the light blue of the bridesmaids' flowing dresses - is a lesson in pairing soft shades with a stunning natural landscape.

We know what you're thinking - it can't get any more perfect than that breathtaking ceremony and these two lovebirds looking all kinds of adorable wandering through the beautiful vineyard grounds. As it happens, it does. Brace yourselves for more heartfelt details paired with solid wood farmhouse tables and string lights to keep this party going well into the night. Don't let us keep you - there's plenty more to see!
