Real Weddings: Lindsay and Lucas's Dreamy Summer Wedding
Lindsay and Lucas, two people very dear to our hearts, were married here this past summer in a gorgeous August wedding. Lindsay is a family friend, and she was our children’s babysitter while she was in high school and college. Her dad and Josh’s dad work together at the hospital, and we’ve known her family she was little. One fun fact is that Lindsay babysat our kids many times, as we had meeting after meeting while we were building the venue. It was super special to see her and her dad walk down the aisle together in the venue we built (knowing she had seen that space as hay field before we built the venue!)
They were married on Lindsay’s grandparent’s wedding anniversary-just another way their wedding day was so special. Our daughter participated as a junior bridesmaid, and seeing her walk down the aisle at our venue was a moment I’ll never forget.
We incorporated so many fun things into this wedding. Here a few of my personal favorites:
We had a hand-lettered gold mirror at the entrance announcing their wedding, in lieu of programs
We used their new monogram “W” throughout the day, including a “W” on the shiplap entrance, on the cake napkins, on the cocktail napkins, on the white bar, and in the gobo on the wall.
Speaking of their gobo, I designed it and the DJ had it custom-made for their wedding. I used their initial and wedding date, and we turned it on for the night-time reception
The all-white bar on the porch with the boxwood wall and acrylic hand-lettered bar sign was so pretty
But my favorite moment hands down was when I saw Lindsay come around the corner with her dad and make her way down the aisle. I was fighting back tears having known her for so long and seeing her walk down the aisle in the venue my husband and I built. There was something full-circle about that moment!
