Love, Laughter, and Their Happily Ever After

The big day had finally arrived, Luke and Zoë's wedding day!  
Justin, Juliana, Benaiah, and I flew back to Pennsylvania on Tuesday night, arriving Wednesday morning.  The rehearsal was Thursday evening and the wedding was Friday afternoon!

Some of the reception table centerpieces were used for decoration in the windows of the church where the wedding was.

These eucalyptus bunches decorated the front two pews where family sat.

Their guestbook at the wedding was an atlas book.

Zoë handwrote the ceremony program.

Luke wrote Zoë a letter to read on the morning of the wedding...

Last minute preparations before walking down the isle!

 Grandpa did the welcome remarks and then Uncle Jon officiated the ceremony.

After the ceremony and family pictures, the bridal party left to take pictures at a nearby covered bridge.

Before the reception there were appetizers in the courtyard beside the barn.




Their favors were coffee beans from Tim Hortons.


They also had a bucket full of these little Canada pins.

I painted a few signs for Zoë, two of them being the welcome sign you see here and the guestbook sign.

The drinks were served off this vintage dresser.

For dessert they had an ice cream sundae bar.

Seating arrangements...

 Uncle Steve was the MC and he dismissed tables using some trivia questions about the bride and groom.  If you answered the question correctly, your table was able to go get in line for food.

The meal was amazing!!

There were two salad bars upstairs in the barn as well as the main courses being served downstairs.

The blue flowers you see in the bridesmaid bouquets were actually spray painted to get the desired color!

Watching the slideshow...

Luke and Zoë decided to have a sweethearts table instead of a head table so those who were married in the wedding party could sit with their spouses.

The details of this wedding were so well thought out and planned.  
It was a gorgeous celebration in honor of two wonderful people.  

Congratulations Luke & Zoë!!
