Becka and Leann began their day with hair and makeup done by Karmel Artistry. We loved that they each had their own unique look for the day, with one bride in an off-the-shoulder dress with a high neckline, and the other in a beautiful v-neck gown with layers of tulle and straps.
Becka and Leann then met for their first look photo shoot. We loved seeing the looks of pure joy on each of their faces at first look. Our brides then captured a few intimate moments around the grounds, the flowers in their hair matching the flowers around them. They then brought together the wedding party and captured a couple of sweet photos together.
As guests began to arrive, they were invited to sign the guestbook comprised of photos of the happy couple. Once moving outside, guests found the gorgeous outdoor venue set with a flower-bedecked arbor. We loved the blending of rustic wooden elements with classy floral arrangements by Flowers by Lesley. As a breeze blew through the lawn, it picked up the lovely flowy fabric hanging from the arbor.
The ceremony began, and each bride walked down the aisle with her parents. The ceremony was then conducted by Valerie Tucker, including a wine bottle ceremony in which our brides locked up a wine bottle to be opened on their first anniversary. Becka and Leann shared their first married kiss, then walked back down the aisle to capture a few final photos together. They then joined their guests, excited for the reception space reveal!
The reception was set outdoors as well, in a gorgeous courtyard glowing with market lighting. Tables were set with wooden centerpieces, on top of which were candles and floral arrangements in mason jars. A fun touch was providing coloring books and crayons for the youngest ones in attendance. Finally, the gorgeous wedding cake with a topper that read “Let the adventure begin” was surrounded by a variety of cupcakes.
Our brides entered the reception space and shared their first married dance together, followed by each sharing a father-daughter dance. The night flew by, with dinner, the cutting of the cake, and the giving out of potted succulents as favors. In the final moments of the night, Becka and Leann shared a kiss under the glow of sparklers.
