We are extremely fond of this real wedding, which took place at the brides parent’s home on their apple orchard in Maine. Katie recalls that she wanted to create an intimate and personal feel despite their large guest list, and her parent’s home was the perfect setting. They had a simple handfasting ceremony followed by cocktails in the backyard and a ho down under the tent.

Every detail was personal right down to the decorations. Katie says, “We gathered things that were made, found in the barn, found in neighbors barns, at flea markets, or on etsy. All of my family and friends pitched in to help pull off the wedding, right down to my bridesmaids who hauled hay across the yard the morning of the wedding. It was a complete labour of love!”
