Lauri + Karley’ approach – add random details that perfectly reflect what they love. Guests dined on blue enamel camping dinnerware, wildflowers, cacti and jars of candles found themselves in every open space available, a nothing-but-donuts sweets table provided the always welcomed sugar rush, and at the end of the night Lauri threw on a plaid flannel, ran through a glow stick tunnel send off and into their honeymoon ride (Dodi the 1986 Toyota Dolphin) parked out front already packed to go with bikes and canoes for their honeymoon road trip. Big thanks to Still Music Photography for sharing this one with us!

Lauri, her mom, Karley’s mom and the bridesmaids put all the reception and decorative flowers together the Friday before the wedding using daisies, ranunculus, feverfew, string of pearl, billy balls, peonies, million star, gerberas, anemones, freesias, lissies, roses… and lots of succulents.

Their music: Karley and the groomsmen entered to the sentimental version of Swept Away by the Avett Brothers. The girls and Lauri walked down to You’re That Way to Me by Jon Troast. They walked into the reception to Hall & Oates, You Make My Dreams Come True and had their “first bite of donut” to She’s Got the Honey by Mat Kearny. The father/daughter dance was to the country song I loved Her First. And, L + K’s first dance was the classic Heaven by Bryan Adams.
