THE WEDDING DAY
Emma + Noah’s elevated backyard wedding day was nothing short of elegant and heartfelt. The ceremony took place right outside the bride’s childhood home, where white floral arrangements beautifully lined the aisle. In front of the stunning ground floral arch, the couple exchanged their own vows which created an romantic and intimate atmosphere. Emma was a vision in her ivory Rosalie Bridal gown, complimented by delicate lace sleeves, adding a timeless touch to the day.
This classy, dream-like setting was even more evident in the beautiful candle lit and flower-filled reception space under a Milestone Event Rental luxury tent designed and decorated by White Willow Events. The trees inside the tent and the floral arch intertwined with chandeliers above the checkered dance floor were truly breathtaking creating a truly magical setting. Beyond proving the florals and decor, the team at White Willow Events, walked alongside Emma and Noah through every step of wedding planning process.
As Emma shared, “Taylor from White Willow Events took the vision right out of my head and made everything even more magical that I had envisioned it. Everyone talks about how stressful wedding planning is and sure – there were some aspects that were stressful, but I tell everyone that Taylor made everything seem so easy. She was a godsend. I don’t have enough good things to say about her!!”
Taste! to Go cooked and prepared the delicious meal buffet style which was enjoyed during the maid of honor and best man speeches. Later on, the bride and groom had some sweet moments cutting the cake and dancing with their parents. Then, the dance floor opened for all, the bride switched into a cute short dress with sparkle embellished gloves, and the party began!
Madisen Timp Weddings captured every moment of the day using a mix of both digital and super 8 film. Her intentional and artistic documentation will allow the couple and their family experience and remember their day forever.
INTENTIONAL MOMENTS & DETAILS
From getting married on the bride’s home acreage to the groom’s brother officiating the wedding, Emma and Noah’s wedding day was full of so many special moments. The bride shared that “the entire day was magical and most of that magic for me was centered around the fact that we got married in my backyard of my childhood home.” Another special moment from their wedding weekend was the night before their big day, the bridesmaids and her had a slumber party–just like they had done hundreds of times growing up. After a perfect and joyful start to the weekend, the bride and her sister got ready together in their childhood bedrooms, reminiscing as they primped in the Jack & Jill bathroom they once shared.
A particularly sweet detail was that the groom’s brother, Nathan, officiated their wedding. Emma shared that “It was really important to us that we had someone that knew us both really well marry us. I don’t think there was a dry eye by the end of it!”
As the bride and groom reflected back on their Wedding day, Emma put it perfectly when she said that “the day was full of full circle moments that we will cherish forever.”
