Alison & Travis

Alison and Travis rang in March with a beautiful Spring wedding ceremony at the Baughman Center and reception at the Sweetwater Branch Inn.

The sun shone bright when Alison and Travis said their vows. If you want to have your own "golden hour" moment during your wedding, choosing a venue with ample natural lighting such as the Baughman Center is the perfect way to make your big day radiant. Also, be sure to ask your photographer when the best times for lighting for your wedding photos will be to get them just right!

Our bride and groom chose to display a beautiful calligraphy sign to welcome in their guests. If you want to add some simple elegance to our own wedding, go for one of these types of signs. Also to achieve this look, they chose a second font style to pair with the calligraphy. Ask local calligraphers what font styles would pair best with this writing for your wedding.

Marriages are forever, but weddings happen on one, special day! Alison and Travis chose to immortalize their special day through a wooden sign that all guests could write on. After the wedding, it could become decor they could forever look at to remember the love of their families and friends. Consider making your guest book a fixture of your new home together.

Guests traveled from the Baughman Center a short drive away to the Sweetwater Branch Inn. We love this site for its beautiful outdoor space and atmosphere. As they were arrived, they were greeted by these cards carried by various animal figurines and instructing everyone to "Please find your party animal." Little did Alison and Travis know, this would foretell the arrival of one unexpected guest...

As scary and slithery as he may be, this actual party animal is not all that uncommon at weddings! If you are having your wedding or reception outdoors, be aware and on the lookout. You may find a few critters decide to show up and share your special day.

A wedding is not complete without a cake! Sugar Refined made this simple yet gorgeous one for Alison and Travis, detailed with pink floral touches to add pops of color and tie the cake into the overall wedding theme. The cake topper, saying "After All This Time, Always," called back to the popular Harry Potter quote to add some personality. Do not be afraid to add little personal touches or quotes that are near and dear to you and your bride or groom's heart throughout your wedding decor!

We absolutely fell in love with this idea of Alison and Travis'! Instead of real flowers, the couple chose to use wooden flowers in the bride and bridesmaid's bouquets. Not only is this a wonderful way to curb wilting flowers on your wedding day, but it creates a rustic look that we simply adore.
