8.1.2009 Wedding ~ Summer Sunset

Matt and Ashley were married a few months ago on August 1, 2009. Before I tell you about the wedding, I have to start with telling you about their invitations. AEL Design made all of the invitations and programs to suit the couple and what they were looking for. The colors, the design, everything about them fit the couple and the wedding perfectly. AEL Design truly has an eye for what looks good and can really put onto paper what her clients are looking for. I can honestly say this is by far one of my favorite invitation sets!

Now for the wedding details! It was hot and humid, but these two didn't let that get in the way of enjoying their wedding! I don't think I ever saw them without a smile. The flowers were absolutely stunning and really "popped" against the black bridesmaid dresses. The large arbor was handmade by the groom himself, and was decorated with more amazing floral arrangements. The aisle was lined with lanterns and candles, which matched the centerpieces on all the tables. Ashley arrived to the aisle in a gorgeous classic Chevy, and walked down after the ring bearers showed the guests their "here comes the bride" signs. I just loved it!



Matt's family has been in the logging business for over 30 years, so I thought that their wedding favor of giving all their guests individual blue spruce starter trees to plant was such a good idea! The guests loved it too and were talking about what a unique idea it was. They also had the wedding on his family's property outside of Sweet Home. The site offered an amazing sunset and a spectacular view of the stars...just look at the picture below! Congrats Matt and Ashley!
