From the Bride:When it came to our wedding, we sought to create a unique experience for our guests that was completely true to our character and that represented aspects of our life's journey. Also taking up large portions of the budget was photography and floral. I am all about splurging a little on a photographer - after all, pictures are really the only thing you have to look back on and remember your special day with! Floral was also huge for me, I wanted "WOW" and I definitely got it!

From hand-made fishing fly-ties adorning each of the men's lapels handmade by my Father in honor of my late Grandfather, vintage pocket watches and cowboy boots, home grown pumpkins from our family garden, a bag-piper and Irish duo, to incorporating much of my vintage rental inventory - our day was truly a representation of who we are!

My advice to other brides would be not to forget that it's your wedding and that it really does need to be true to who you are as a couple! There are thousands of beautiful weddings and ideas, but at the end of the day, your wedding has to fit you. We had countless opinions throughout the journey, but at the end of the day it was really about creating the perfect beginning to our new life together as "Mr." and "Mrs."! By staying true to yourselves the day will be even more incredible than you ever thought possible.

We simply adore the centerpieces and table arrangements displayed in this wedding. The beautiful and bright florals, created by Munster Rose, elegantly combined with vintage pieces from Antique Door Vintage Rentals produced a stunning display.

Deco Catering did a magnificent job of creating an array of tasty and tantalizing dishes and treats for guests to enjoy. Not only was it a joy for the tastebuds, but the display was a beautiful arrangement that blended with the overall look and feel of the wedding.

I owe so much to the vendors that made our day possible. Being a part of the industry, I had a strong vision and am so thankful for the team of beyond talented individuals that went above and beyond to make that vision a reality!
