Handmade with Love Julie & Ryan 9/14/13

One of Lancaster County’s newest wedding venues, the fabulous Farm at Eagle’s Ridge provided the back drop for the charming, rustic wedding of Julie & Ryan.

Family, friends & nature were the threads that tied this beautiful celebration together with personal touches throughout.

From the cocktail tables hand-crafted by the groom and the father of the bride, to the stained glass window with a depiction of the beloved tree where the couple became engaged, the day was filled with special details that radiated the warmth, energy and love that embody Julie & Ryan as a couple.

“Ryan and I love the outdoors and we wanted to include as many natural colors and elements in the day as we could.  Right after we got engaged, Ryan and I sat down and wrote a list of all things we love. We used this as a map to help us come up with ideas for all the details for our wedding day and Simple Soiree pulled everything together for us.  I wouldn't change a thing about the end result!”

A big thank you to Miville Photography for sharing the photos which captured the day beautifully and also to Julie & Ryan for letting us be a part of your day.

This gorgeous bride's bouquet by Sandra Lynn Porterfield Designs pulled together the Julie & Ryan's color palette of earth green, taupe, and eggplant.

Personal touches like these childhood photos used to line the ceremony aisle added extra warmth to the festive atmosphere.

A beautiful stained glass window featuring the oak tree where Julie & Ryan became engaged adorned the arbor at the ceremony site.

In place of escort cards, antique keys hung on this old door with guest table numbers, the perfect touch for the rustic barn reception.

The wedding party had a blast hamming it up for photos outside this restored barn which held the reception.

These fun little known fact cards about the bride and groom adorned the cocktail tables.

It wouldn't be a fall wedding without a bonfire to cozy up to. Guests enjoyed roasting s'mores and warming up by the fire.

A vintage bulb monogram lit up the venue's "corn crib" which was set up as a lounge for guests.
