Happy Halloween!!
I'm about to dress Hayden up for his first official trick-or-treating, but first I wanted to do a quick post to share some photos from Rachel and Brian's wedding at
Butterfly Gap Retreat in Maryville last weekend. They had a beautifully sunny and warm fall day for their afternoon ceremony. Rachel incorporated the colors of Autumn into her bouquet, and even this little yellow jacket liked it. I especially loved the orange ranunculus.
She also had a gorgeous long veil {I love, love those}
Butterfly Gap's peninsula is the perfect location for an outdoor wedding in the fall.
I've seen plenty of outdoor ceremonies include a unity candle. However, it doesn't work very well if there is a breeze. To avoid any issues, Rachel and Brian opted for a ceremonial wine pouring instead. I thought that was a really great alternative.
To carry the fall theme into the reception, they decorated with pine cones, acorns, pumpkins, and granny smith apples - simple and inexpensive but perfect.
Butterfly Gap has really cool architecture, and the walls on the studio are one example. They rotate open!
Congratulations to you two and all the other couples celebrating their first Halloween as husband and wife!
