Real Green Weddings
For the ceremony, the couple used an old garden arbor that has been a part of the farm for many years, and the bride’s cousins decorated it with wildflowers.
A repurposed wagon, old wooden Coca Cola boxes, heirloom lace and quilts from Charley’s grandmother all adorned the tables and the barn. The bride’s cousin scoured the farm’s old canning room and garage to gather 100 mason jars, which they cleaned out and used as vases for all the flowers. The couple also placed candles in some of the jars to light the roadway after dark.
To add a personal flair, the couple gathered old photographs of their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents on their wedding days. They arranged the photos in old and new frames “to show our guests where we came from, as well as some looks back at old wedding day fashions,” the bride told us.
