Rustic Chic Krippendorf Lodge Wedding

Tyra and Ryan got married at the charming Krippendorf Lodge.  Thanks to Matthew Andrews Photography for capturing the day perfectly! 

Tyra was one of the craftiest brides I have had yet! From painted skids with the menu to the wooden "T", "R" and table numbers; Tyra's attention to detail helped create the rustic chic atmosphere that enhanced the Krippendorf to a place Tyra and Ryan could call their own.  A guest of the lodge would have easily thought the space was an old family cabin as photos of the couple were splashed throughout.

Her bridesmaids carried a small bouquet of hydrangea, fever few, billy balls, solidago, mums, and garden roses.  With 10 bridesmaids bouquets on hand, I used a number of greens to create a base for some of the reception tables. At the cocktail hour, the bridesmaids placed their bouquets in the vases which hid the handle, and created a full table centerpiece! A BIG thank you to as well as Receptions for hosting a great party (as always).

Fate is what many believe to be the beginning of a love story.  It also happens to be the reason I became Brooke and Josh's florist.  You see, Josh happens to be a sheriff who came to my rescue when there was some curious people lingering my neighborhood.  After learning about his upcoming wedding, I quickly became their florist!

This wedding has vintage looks with Brooke's birdcage veil and their baby blue cadillac, a classic look with the bridesmaids dresses and tuxes, and a modern feel from the brides dress and of course, the flowers!

Enjoy these wonderful photos from The Married Photogs.
