Cozy Rustic Wedding Complete With Giant Dream Catchers
Remember those dream catchers we all loved? Sorry to break it to ya, but these ones ares so. much. cooler. Five giant dream catchers decked out Lake Eden for this fall celebration planned by Weddings with Tara, setting the scene for a rustic wedding to remember. But while I'm totally crushing on the catchers, what I really love is how this cute couple captured their personality and made their wedding so them. Graham Terhune snapped everything and our Vault is all the better for it - more this way!
From the Bride and Groom... Our wedding was truly meant to be an expression of our lives together. It was important for us to to have our wedding outdoors and in the mountains, so Lake Eden (just outside of Asheville, NC) was the perfect setting. I grew up in Asheville, and Greg and I met in North Carolina so that meant a lot to us. We now live in Bozeman, Montana and also wanted to bring touches of the West to our wedding decor. We used a moose antler as our guest book and mixed deer antlers in with the gorgeous flowers on the tables. We didn't want huge flower arrangements so instead had many smaller arrangements in interesting vases with lots of greenery. I also custom designed a Southwestern style fabric that my mom and step-mom made into beautiful table runners that tied into our earthy, natural color palette. One of my absolute favorite things about our wedding were the giant dream catchers. My family and I worked together to make five HUGE dream catchers that were really became the focal point of the decor. An amazing dressmaker in downtown Asheville custom made my absolutely gorgeous wedding gown. The process of designing it was so fun and it perfectly tied in with the overall style of our wedding. When I saw everything come together, it far surpassed my expectations. Although we all got a little soggy in the rain, everyone had a great time celebrating together and I am happy to say our wedding far exceeded our expectations thanks to our amazing vendors and crafty family!
