A Heartwarming Rustic Wedding Honoring the Bride’s Late Father and Brother
Brian and Payten's wedding was a heartwarming and emotional day, both honoring their love and holding a special place for Payten's late father and eldest brother (whom they lost tragically only a few months earlier). Their rustic vineyard celebration offered a rustic and elegant design with accents of fuchsia and jewel tones. Keep reading to see how the bride and groom's love for their family punctuated their stunning nuptials. All photography by Nikki Golden.
These fuchsia vow books and invitation suite are so cheerful and elegant - you can really see the bride's radiant personality through these details!
Brian and Payten first met in 2006, but despite their initial spark, they didn’t officially start dating until Payten’s nineteenth birthday. In the next six years, their love grew exponentially for each other until Brian surprised Payten with what was supposed to be a Mother’s Day photo shoot for their moms, but in reality, it was a perfectly planned proposal for Payten.
These beautiful photo pendants were added to the bride and groom's bouquet and boutonnière; this is such a sweet and practical way to keep a piece of their loved ones with them at all times!
A Rustic Vineyard Backdrop
Tuscan Rose Vineyards was the perfect place for this chic garden-inspired wedding. The venue offered much help and support when Payten’s family was rocked by the loss of her brother and father so close to their wedding date. The vineyard not only created a romantic venue for the wedding, but includes in-house planning and florals in their services. To honor her brother and father on her wedding day, a giant floral wreath was created and dedicated to them, welcoming all guests to the entrance.
The juxtaposition of these lavender bridesmaids' dresses against the clean and modern black groomsmen suits was both so classic and playful!
There wasn't a dry eye as Payten's mom and brother walked her down the aisle. Brian was blown away by the strength and beauty of his bride! Even though it had rained earlier that day, the sun shined bright from ceremony start to finish.
Vineyard Portraits Featuring An Equestrian Cameo
After their "I do's" the bride and groom got to spend their first time alone together as husband and wife; who would have known they'd be sharing it with a very regal horse!
Peyton's stunning gown was designed by Martina Liana, a designer known for sweeping lace silhouettes and elegant attention to detail. The bride got her dress locally at Love, A Bridal Boutique.
