Rustic Barn Wedding by Ryan Ray

You may have seen this wedding over on Green Wedding Shoes a few months back, but it's just so perfect I had to reshare! And besides any excuse to feature Ryan Ray's work right? It seems that there's been a bit of a shift away from rustic weddings over the past six months, but I for one will never tire of them. I just love all the natural woodsy details... they're very much me! And this wedding really is a treasure... I mean the grooms outfits in the lovely warm autumn tones... and the tweed... LOVE!! And what else... the bridesmaids; beautiful! The brides shoes are adorable... and really the list goes on. Pure fabulousness. If you want to read more about their day head over to Green Wedding Shoes.

Country style wedding by Candy Capco

We're bringing a little bit of much needed sunshine to you on this rather miserable day! This quaint country wedding from Candy Capco utilised sunflowers throughout their day to symbolise peace and happiness. I absolutely love the little cottage that they used to get ready in... I'd like one of those in my garden please? And how adorable is that sweet cake on the rustic bucket? Love it! Thanks so much Candy for sharing this with us!

From Megan, the bride: Sunflowers are symbolic of adoration and they turn their heads to the sun, which is the origin of their common name. They adore the sun. Together with hay bales we have a country, fun-rolling-in-the-hay-atmosphere with the core values of marriage. This was what we based our theme on. Rustic, country fun! The Venue, Pounui Homestead was perfect for this, naturally, as it has a barn and the gardens are just so lovely! We got ready at Little Branches in Featherston. A really GREAT and charming place to get ready as it just adds to the feeling of being in a fairy tale.

Arizona Barn wedding from Session Nine Photographers...

You know how much I love me a barn or farm wedding so of course I jumped at the opportunity to feature this gorgeous wedding from Jason & Jessica from Session Nine Photography in Arizona... a place which I'd love to go back to one day. I love that they've used really vibrant pretty colours rather than the usual rustic ones we see... which you know I love, but it makes a nice change. And how adorable are those flower girls on the swing!! Too cute!! Jessica tells us a bit about the day...

We drove for what seemed like a day and a half to reach our destination to capture this special day for Matt & Amanda. But it was oh so worth it. We witnessed firsthand this soft spoken, quiet but unrelenting love that we’re talking about. Matt, a military man serving in the US Air Force, held the love of his life’s hand within his and they set out to take on the world together for the first time. Amanda, at moments, couldn’t hold back the emotion of the day as she anxiously awaited walking down through family and friends to a new journey with Matt.The choice for all this to take place was perfect for them. Far away from the bustling city and nestled in amongst some rolling hills, desert, and farms resides this grand little place called the Windmill Winery in Florence, AZ. An old historic barn house sits in the middle of several gardens and overlooking mountain-scapes in every direction. Quiet and serene. A captivating place for what proved to be a magical day.
