Paige & Evan’s Intimate Fall Wedding

Paige and Evan’s Intimate Fall Wedding Day was made extra special by celebrating at a family member’s private residence. They continued to smile through all of the unprecedented changes and postponements due to Covid, keeping their love at the forefront of their big day. Paige’s aunt and uncle’s property was the perfection location for a sailcloth tented wedding. The leaves were a mix of gorgeous fall colors, accenting the stunning ceremony arbor from Briar Loft, made of mostly greens sprinkled with perfectly placed fresh blooms. 

The neutral color palette of the tablescape created a warm and inviting atmosphere for guests to enjoy dinner and each other’s company. The soft texture of the velvet napkins accented the modern clean lines in the marble chargers and brushed gold flatware from Event Essentials. Extra warmth was brought in with the toffee candles and fluffy floral centerpieces. 

The simple yet sophisticated wedding cake was adorned with sugar coated berries and a subtle intentional floral detail. The vintage cake topper was a family heirloom, adding another personal touch to their wedding day. Evan also got to enjoy his favorite German chocolate cake in addition to the lemon curd wedding cake from Braise

Navy bridesmaids dresses carried on the soft velvet element, which perfectly highlighted the clean crisp lines of Paige’s wedding gown. The groomsmen continued the clean and classic look by wearing black tuxedos to match our groom, Evan. 

A classy and timeless aesthetic was brought into every aspect of Paige & Evan’s Intimate Fall Wedding, with so many personal details throughout the day. The night ended with guests dancing under the stars and twinkly lights in the cool, autumn breeze. Congratulations, Paige & Evan! Thank you for asking us to be a part of your special day. <3
