Most of you know I went to Washington for a wedding this past month. And it was definitely worth the drive up north! I just couldn't resist showing you some of the bride's beautiful and simple ideas that made this wedding a real treat.
The Venue
Having the right location certainly made this wedding extra special and a favorite in my books! For the ceremony, a plain white arbor with ivy and white chairs were all that was needed. The trees, grass, and flowers surrounding it all served as the backdrop and cathedral.
The Decor & Delectables
Simple and frugal didn't make this wedding any less spectacular. Quite the contrary! It made it all that much better! Rustic hand painted signs, photos of the bride and groom on a laundry line, a small cake on a tree trunk stand, old shutters, blackboards, button confetti, and items gathered from home finished off the natural touches of the barn itself. Instead of one large wedding cake, the couple had a small cake to cut for the two of them while guests feasted on cupcakes, pies, and other lovely treats!
The Nature
One nice thing about renting a wedding location is the fact that you don't need to spend as much on a florist. A handful of bouquets and a few boutonnieres, as well as a dash on the tables takes care of the rest. The children found it extremely entertaining. I can't help but think they'll remember this wedding long past many others.
Wow - gorgeous! And creative!
ReplyDeleteAmy,
ReplyDeleteI loved your wedding post, everything about it! You and I have the same taste. Your place is amazing. I want a windmill so bad. Ours is a 8 ft , but I want a real one.
"The Broke 4 Ranch" will be hosting a Virtual Blog BBQ, hosted by yours truly, Thoughts on a Blog and your being featured. I hope you will come join us!
Beautiful photos Amy. I love the cake stand with the LP + WS. So cute!
ReplyDeleteI love looking at other people's wedding pictures... it's one of my crazier hobbies :) That wedding looks gorgeous, but how can it not be with such a fine venue?
ReplyDeleteDo you have any photos of bride and groom?
Blessings,
This Good Life

Love it! My kind of style!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea for a wedding! Loved it! And thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these pictures! While getting married is not in my immediate future (only 17:), being the farm girl that I am, I've always wanted my wedding outdoors and I love pictures of those types of weddings. I'd like mine in a wheat field...with white chairs...somewhat rustic...very simple, yet elegant and farm girl all in one! We'll see what we can pull together when the time comes.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Jenna
I love these kind of weddings!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the beauty of the day!

Beautiful! I love it when weddings are truly appropriate for the couple and not overly fussy; lovely lovely!!
ReplyDeleteWow! it looks so rustic and dreamy-- ALL AT ONCE!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I'm sure all the guests will remember such a lovely and simple wedding.
Amy, this has to be one of the coolest wedding decors that I have ever seen...!
ReplyDeleteLove the simpleness of it all. Really very sweet and pretty.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely perfect in every way - love it! The photos are gorgeous also. I adore the frogs :) Simplicity at its best. Thank you for sharing, Amy! -Tammy
ReplyDeleteGreat post. All the photos are stunning. This is my favourite kind of wedding; simple, homely and full of nature. I hope I am lucky enough to find such a great location when I get married.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful venue! Since I live in Wa and have an appropriate aged daughter, would you mind telling me where that location is? Or if it's even available to rent out???
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Sure, Holly. It was at the Wine and Roses Country Estate in Auburn, WA. The venue was a bit pricy, but considering it included a lot of rentals, I think it was a good price. The bride used cute disposable paper goods for the meal and lots of other things to keep the cost down such as having her cousin do her photography. Without a doubt the venue was the biggest expense but well worth it.
ReplyDeleteSorry TGL, but I didn't think I should include the bride and groom or most of the wedding party. I fudged on including the kids (one was mine), but I felt that I should really get permission from most first.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful wedding, thanks for sharing all of these wonderful pictures! Blessings to the newlyweds! ~April
ReplyDeleteHello Amy,
ReplyDeleteWOW! The wedding photos are so creative and warm. What a wonderful location for a wedding. Who doesn’t LOVE cupcakes. Thanks for sharing.
Smiles, Paula
Amy, absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing. I have two daughters and often think what (or if, whatever God's plan is) their wedding will be like. I hope the choose something just like this!
ReplyDeleteMarianne
How adorable! I love all the little touches and, of course, the scenery wasn't bad either. ;)
ReplyDeleteAmy, Thanks for sharing these photos. I really enjoyed this post!
ReplyDeleteSoooo Beautiful! My husband and I are actually planning something very similar, when we finally get our farm, to renew our vows... We've been through some pretty tough times together since we've gotten married and figure by the time we have our farm we will have come such a long way... a definite cause for celebration! :) Thank you so much for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! I can't wait to get married, I want something similar to this =) Love the pictures!
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazingly beautiful & simple wedding- I love the idea! But I'm betting I'm partial to that sort of thing :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing those beautiful wedding photos! I'm sure that took a lot of work, but it was absolutly perfect! Wow! I wish the bride and groom a long and happy marriage.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect venue and gorgeous style. I love it!
