Kim Newton Weddings brought this bride’s love of neutrals to life in the most beautiful of ways. When the pandemic changed this couple’s original plans to an all outdoor wedding, it was decided to do a tent-style reception like it’s never been done before. Exposed wooden beams and seemingly growing greenery, designed by Love Blooms, combined to create an elevated boho look we can’t get enough of. The love, joy, and style of the day are all perfectly captured in the artful imagery by Photos By Sarah Beth. You can swoon over all the imagery in the full gallery.
From the bride… Tanner and I met at a concert through mutual friends. Some cheesy one-liners, singing, and dancing made for the perfect setup. Fast forward to fall 2019 when we became engaged, we had no idea COVID-19 was around the corner.
After losing my Dad four years ago, though he wasn’t physically there on our wedding day, I felt him all day. My sweet cousin turned one of his ties into my garter and we had his locket wrapped around my bouquet, so he was right there walking me down the aisle with Mom. As Mom and I headed down the aisle and our officiant asked who gives me away, Mom starts to reply “her Father and I”, and a crane flew right above our heads. That was Dad. We then kicked off the reception with a toast of his favorite drink, Tito’s, and celebrated all night with him in our hearts.
We made the call 3 months prior to our wedding to have everything outside out of an abundance of caution. Kim of Kim Newton Weddings called me right away and asked, “do you want to do a tent that has never been done before?!” Between the exposed wooden beams and draped greenery, it truly felt like a fairytale.
