Coastal Wedding: Teacher Meets Dad, Modern Preschool Details

Share

Couple embraces on beach wedding day

Tara and Noah met when Tara was Noah’s son’s preschool teacher. Are you serious? That’s so cute. They wanted a simple affair to exchange their vows by the beach. Jesi Haack Design, who perfectly styled and executed this amazing affair, incorporated modern building block as escort cards to give a nod to Preschool. Jesi also created a string art guestbook that would serve as a keepsake to hang in the home. Jesi found the word that sums up their relationship for their guests to string as their guest book: LAUGH.
Such a sweet couple and an amazing day captured by Ryan Ray Photography. View more of the fabulous details from this vibrant and colorful coastal wedding in the full gallery here.

The simple ceremony set up of rustic benches and lush greens lined the benches as not to take away from the amazing backdrop. Jesi and Krista Jon Florals did not disappoint with the super sweet floral heart installation.

Noah is a potter, by trade, and the couple chose to commemorate the day by creating handprints that would later be fired in the kiln and kept for a lifetime. We love this special idea.

In lieu of traditional escort cards, the couple chose to use blocks as a bit of an homage to their meeting at the preschool where Noah’s son attended.
