“So, where do I start with this beautiful Heritage Prairie Farm wedding? Let me begin by saying this wedding was touching. The couple, Teri and Bryan, really embraced their children and their friend's children by letting them help coordinate the entire ceremony. The kids played the music on various instruments as Teri walked herself down the aisle. Her daughter sang "Your Song" (an Elton John remix by Ellie Goulding) during the ceremony.

The Bride wore a simple, very elegant, Caroline DeVillo gown and carried a bouquet of fresh lavender. Bryan, the Groom was so striking in his black tie and tuxedo.

There were many special elements throughout the day such as the handmade "Order of Events" and the gold menu chalkboard. The reception included a head table draped in tulle which sat the bride, groom, and their three children. The couple's guests enjoyed the cross back chairs and the bride and groom took advantage of a perfect sunset for photos.

After an amazing farm-fresh dinner served family style from Heritage Prairie Farm, the sweets table opened and it included treats from three different bakeries! Sweet Dreams provided the cake, All Chocolate Kitchen provided the macaroons and Graham's Chocolates created a special treat of honey favors! How perfect!
