Elkins, West Virginia is a gorgeous town built around farming and logging, and was the perfect location for Doug and Calli’s rustic barn wedding. Luckily enough, Doug’s family owns a logging company that is surrounded by beautiful farmland where there wedding took place.
The beautiful venue allowed this crafty couple to be as creative as they wanted when it came to the alter, ceremony and reception details. You are going to love all the florals, thoughtfully created by the bride. She designed and created all of the flowers, bouquets, and centerpieces herself.
