Real Wedding: Rachel and Tony

I knew that when I first met Rachel she had incredible vision and knew exactly what she wanted to incorporate into her wedding. Look at the result of months of searching, spray painting, crafting, and pounds and pounds of pumpkins!

(These were all taken from my iPhone, but the photos from Yocum Photography will be gorgeous!)

Rachel wanted something fun for the guests to do during the reception, so I created these fun Mad Libs for the guests. I hope they enjoyed reading them when they came home from their honeymoon!

The ceremony took place at 6:00 pm, just moments before dusk. Everything was gorgeous as it was lit by hundreds of candles!

The steps at Old Main lawn were covered and stacked with pie and Cinderella pumpkins and lit by lanterns and mason jars wrapped in burlap and grapevine.

A full table was important to Rachel so they were covered with burlap and filled with rustic lanterns, cut logs, mini pumpkins, photos and more!

An outdoor fall wedding with a pumpkin theme calls for this kind of decor! Roses, spray roses, seeded eucalyptus, celosia, button mums, hypericum berries and more fill these large Jack-o-lanterns.

We rented two actual wine making barrels from a functioning winery and placed an old door on top as our cake table.

The cake stand itself was an ingenious idea from Jennifer at Kruton's Catering. We couldn't help but incorporate it! Have you ever seen a cake on top of a Cinderella pumpkin?! :)
