Meeting Giovann was something that was meant to happen considering the multitude of coincidences that led to our meeting on the night of May 4th, 2019. I’ve grown up with food allergies my whole life and yet it wasn’t food that gave me my allergic reaction in April of 2019. I had simply been outside too long that day, and by the end of the night on April 15th, I ended up going into an anaphylactic reaction from breathing in too much pollen. I had a research trip planned for the first week of May, and because of that reaction, I ended up not being able to go. Since I was home, one of my coworkers at my parents’ restaurant, Modern Apizza, asked me to cover her shift on a Saturday night. I obliged. That’s how I ended up meeting my now husband, who sat at Modern for the first time in his life.

Giovann proposed to me on April 15th, 2022, exactly 3 years after my reaction, giving me one of my happiest memories, and replacing one of my scarier ones. Our first Christmas together I gave him a drawing of the receipt he left me, leaving his number on it.

cute wedding day gift ideas

Our story always reminds me that everything really does happen for a reason, your lowest moment can bring you your highest moment at precisely the exact time you need. And that’s what Giovann was to me, my highest moment. I didn’t know it could get any better until our wedding weekend. It truly was the best weekend of our life.

a dream venue for a wedding weekend

organic floral installations for outdoor weddings

I was fortunate enough to have grown up going to Vermont almost every weekend. When my parents finally bought a house there, it ended up being on the same street where you’ll find our wedding venue, Riverside Farm. I grew up driving past this venue and secretly envisioning my own wedding there. When Giovann and I got engaged, this was the only venue we visited and within a month of being engaged, we booked it!

If you’ve ever seen Riverside Farm, it is so breathtakingly beautiful. Standing on the property with green all around you, the picturesque barns that sit at the bottom of the mountain, each their own unique style. One of our favorite parts about the weekend was how Riverside Farm turned into our own little compound for the weekend. Sleeping with our wedding party on the property with us, felt like it was the most grand, exciting sleepover we ever had. I’ll never forget the feelings–the excitement and anticipation during the welcome party on Friday, true, raw, happiness on Saturday, and nothing but gratefulness on Sunday.

Giovann and his groomsmen sported classic black tuxedos for the big day. For the ceremony, Arianna wore a breathtaking lace Monique Lhuillier gown with detachable sleeves and her bridesmaids looked radiant in satin dresses in shades of rust, champagne, and terracotta. When it was time to break it down, Arianna switched into a fun boho mini-dress with feather fringe details.

I am a quiet romantic, so soft colors, lace details, and a beautiful venue all catered to what I was looking for. It was easy planning this wedding because I’ve dreamt of this location ever since I was a little girl driving past the property every time we would leave our Vermont house.

Kelsey and Brandon met in 2018 at a dinner party hosted by mutual friends. They sat next to each other during a post-dinner game of charades and had an instant connection. Brandon can vividly recall being sad when Kelsey had to leave the party with her friends, but Kelsey was excited when she received a Facebook message the next day asking if she’d like to go for drinks and to play pool. Since then, they’ve enjoyed countless activities together, such as skating the Ottawa canal, going for bike rides and runs, playing golf and floor hockey, and hitting up any karaoke bar they come across. Their wedding took place at the stunning Stonefields Estate in Carleton Place, Ontario, coincidentally on the same date that two sets of grandparents had gotten married! Captured on camera by Enas Photography, Kelsey and Brandon’s day is the perfect example of how to host an elegant “something blue” wedding.

Kelsey looked timeless as her brother Jamie drove her to the ceremony in his teal ‘66 Mustang.

The reception took place in a breathtaking wooden barn, with a beautiful outdoor seating area available during cocktail hour and after dinner. The venue and staff were exceptional; everything ran without a hitch, and the food was incredible. The guest tables were decorated with three votive candles and three white roses, each in their own individual bud vase. Green satin napkins lined the white tablecloths, complimenting the white roses with green stems.

It’s true – when you know, you know!

When it came time to dress shop, the bride’s mom, best friend, and MOH flew into Nashville to dress shop with her. When you know you know, or so they say, and for this bride it was absolutely true! Crissy found her dress at the first dress shop they went to, and it was even among the first few she tried on! After selecting the dress, Crissy was able to have it impeccably altered and adjusted to include every detail that she knew she wanted for her wedding day look.

Sage is the perfect statement-making neutral

Deciding on bridesmaid dresses, the color, and style was actually one of the biggest struggles bride Crissy encountered while planning the wedding. She knew she wanted to stick with neutrals to complement the shades of cream, but she also wanted something that was a statement and would complement little details throughout the wedding day, including the gorgeous bouquets courtesy of The Bloom House. Crissy found the perfect color and silk fabric by Bec + Bridge in the color sage. The bridesmaids were absolutely stunning, and they fit the vibe perfectly!

Tiffany and Noli had known each other since middle school, but they didn’t actually start dating until after college when they reconnected over their Finance studies. Through dating, they’ve shared a love of travel, their friends and family, and their precious orange cat, Bodie! Tiffany and Noli’s wedding was the perfect combination of the bride’s elegant style and the groom’s fun-loving personality. For their special day, this couple created a beautiful dinner setting that transitioned into a downtown party in San Luis Obispo.

The bride wore “The Lottie” from Daughters of Simone, based in Fresno, California for their wedding at The Penny in downtown San Luis Obispo. In the bride’s own words, “It was an absolute dream!” They wanted to create a getaway for the guests, and this was the ideal location. Because it was walking distance from a number of great restaurants, bars, and shopping, The Penny was perfect! The venue space had an industrial, yet romantic vibe with an outdoor space that really created the best of both worlds. And their super cute welcome sign? That was courtesy of the bride herself!

The couple incorporated nods to the groom’s culture throughout the day

For their wedding, the goal was to have fun and also make sure to incorporate the groom’s culture wherever possible. The bride was able to include elements important to her by having her grandfather officiate their ceremony in a moment that brought tears to everyone’s eyes. To include Noli’s Hispanic culture, the couple incorporated a mariachi band and a glass of champagne to greet each of their guests before the ceremony. The mariachi band even played right after the couple’s first kiss to get the party started! Tiffany and Noli included touches of terracotta throughout the decor, and for the fun, they wanted the dance floor to be absolutely non-stop. They worked with an incredible DJ, Paul Thompson from Epic Entertainment, who really knew how to help the guests bring the party!

Hand-written terracotta tiles greeted each guest at their place-setting

At the reception, the couple decided to forego a signature cocktail for an open bar and champagne greeting. The reception tables were definitely romantic to complement the industrial space, so they included lots of candles, roses, and the touches of terracotta. Each place setting had terracotta tiles from Mexico with the guests’ names hand-written on them. The couple swears that it was truly the tablescape that “brought it all together.” Tiffany and Noli cut into a vanilla with almond buttercream cake courtesy of SLO Cakery, and yes, they’re saving some for their one-year anniversary!

farmhouse wedding reception

Mason and Katherine met during their sophomore year of college when the two kept bumping into each other until Mason finally asked Katherine to join him on a coffee date. Mason continued to be full of surprises, especially on the day he proposed. At the time Katherine was taking classes in Speech-Language Pathology. Mason told Katherine that he had lined up some educational therapy materials that a connection wanted to pass along to her to help in her studies. Instead, he took her to a lake house where he led her down to a beautiful spot on the water and proposed to her.

The Grandeur House in Little Rock, Arkansas, known for its elegance and charm, served as the perfect venue for Mason and Katherine’s big day. Located on a 27-acre property surrounded by picturesque landscapes, the high ceilings and expansive windows exude an air of sophistication and grandeur. The farmhouse style blended well with the natural greenery and classic blue and white toile elements that were sprinkled throughout the event, creating a sunny and inviting atmosphere. Katherine shared, “The wedding day was sweet, peaceful, and endearing. There were very few stressful minutes during the getting ready part, and then we were able to have a private ceremony where my dad officiated with family only in attendance, followed by lots of pictures of our wedding party. We then got to have a second ceremony with all of our friends and families, where Mason’s uncle was able to officiate. This followed with a fun reception full of yummy food, lively music, and great conversation!”

When there’s a personal connection between the couple and their vendors, magic can happen!

After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a delicious dinner by Vibrant Occasions Catering. For appetizers, they served meatballs and ham and cheese sliders. For dinner, entree options included a delicious breaded chicken with white cream sauce and bacon-wrapped pork with mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, salad, and rolls as sides. There was even an interactive ice cream sundae bar and wedding cake for dessert that satisfied every sweet tooth! Wedding planner Kaitie Gill of Kaitie Gill Weddings shared, “There were some connections between the couple and two of their vendors for this wedding that made the day even more special. Both the couple and I attended Ouachita Baptist University, so we really hit it off from the start. Furthermore, Chef Serge Krikorian with Vibrant Occasions Catering was a fraternity brother of Katherine’s father. They had wonderful vendors who went above and beyond to make their day perfect. Personally, one of my favorite elements was their guest book that donned the same florals that were featured on their cake. Katherine had a vision and followed through with it until the end, and they were one of the sweetest couples to ever work with!”

The wedding party wore a mix of soft mint turquoise and formal black suits which brought a sense of elegance to the day. Jo.An Floral Design completely delivered on the bride’s wish list of a lush, spring rainbow of florals, creating stunning floral displays throughout the ceremony and reception spaces. When guests entered the reception hall, they were greeted with an oasis of pastel florals in all shades and sizes, incorporating bud vases and wildflower inspirations. Every detail – including those beyond just the flower choices – was intentional and reflected the love that Sam and Colton share for the outdoors and all those in attendance.

Advice from the photographer

“I always recommend that the getting ready portion of the day is the most crucial for setting the tone for the rest of the wedding! If hair and makeup runs late, everything gets pushed back, and a whole lot of stress can ensue. I try my absolute best to work with the planner and couple to make sure they have enough photo time, but still also have time to be present with each other and their guests.”
