Real Wedding: Carolyn & Tim’s Nature-Inspired Spring Wedding

The Aldo Leopold Nature Center in Monona was the perfect setting for Carolyn & Tim’s gorgeous and heartfelt nuptials. It was a relaxed, picturesque atmosphere surrounded by tons of wildflowers, mature trees and, of course, a love so radiant and pure it was palpable.

Carolyn & Tim, you two just might take the prize as the sweetest couple I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Seriously. To give you an example, the week of the wedding I got a call from Carolyn asking, “Is there anything I can do to make it easier for you?” Isn’t that supposed to be MY line, Carolyn?!

To amplify the beauty that already surrounded them, Carolyn chose a simple color palette of sage green, pinks and purples – all tones that are reminiscent of Spring and very common around this time in Wisconsin. I also ADORED the creative seed-packet escort cards that Carolyn hand crafted and displayed prominently as guests entered the room. Such a great way to guide guests to their seats AND double as perfectly springy wedding favors!

These two spread so much love, you can’t help but feel how much it radiates – over them, their guests from far and wide, and everyone who comes in contact with them.  C&T – It was an absolute joy to be a part of your day and I wish you all the best! May your love continue to bloom!

Love,
Kelsie
