Pennsylvania Rustic Fairytale Wedding by For You Love Me
I am completely smitten with this next wedding from For You Love Me. There were so many little surprises from the pattern of the table runners to the silhouettes on the frisbees (all handmade, of course). But what really pulls at my heartstrings is the ceremony. There is just something about a Quaker ceremony that is so intimate and heartwarming. Nick and Sasha’s love for the people that brought them together was evident in every last detail that they created. Click here to see even more from this lovefest.
More from this rustic fairytale in the full gallery!
From the bride, Sasha -
“…we did almost everything ourselves — and in only 3 months at that. The whole event was very intimate and casual — no bridal party, no officiant. The ceremony was a full hour, and most of our friends and family participated on the fly. My now husband and I really thought of the whole affair as a chance for us to throw a party for all the people who had brought us together, so most of our planning was guided by that ideal.”
From Carissa of For You Love Me -
“The ceremony was a very meaningful Quaker-inspired ceremony within a circle of trees with 75 close friends and family. From there everyone migrated to a lovely hour of cocktails/appetizers with the soundtrack of three friends playing bluegrass tunes. Then was a beautiful reception in a little tent that seemed straight out of a fairytale with its waving flags and lantern lit ceiling. Flowers from a nearby farm filled the room with color. Each guest received a Field Notes pocket notebook with their names imprinted as well as a frisbee with the couples cameo (Nick and Sasha met playing frisbee at school). Instead of cake, they had the groom’s mom’s homemade pies and ice cream and sorbet. They danced the evening away to brilliant tunes. They and their closest friends all stayed the nite at the farm.”

As an amateur photographer, I have to say that I loved those pictures. Very "clean" looking. The wedding looked beautiful (and those pies...now I'm hungry!) Thanks for this post.
I love the simplicity and authenticity of the way you styled your special day. Who doesn't love pie?!? Mmmm. And the color palette on the place cards is really lovely, too. Thanks for sharing, Sasha and Nick. You've really inspired me.
I'm interested in knwoing how the couple did their Quaker-inspired ceremony... We are thinking of this idea too...
AW they gave everybody a field notes! How awesome are they?!
Would you mind sharing where you had the Frisbees done? Great wedding!
they gave away field notes? best idea ever!
What was this beautiful venue? Was it a residence or family farm?
How peaceful.. absolutely serene and calm.
Where do you buy the field notes books? Thanks!
The tent is just stunning! I am such a sucker for a good piece of pie. Reminds me of my mom's cooking. I'm hungry now.
Where did you find that fabric for the runners?? I've been looking for something like that for a while!!
Thanks for the kind notes, everybody! A few answers to your questions:
The Field Notes books came straight from the company, and they were great to deal with (Fed Exed them all the week before the wedding). We designed the frisbees and they were printed by Discraft, which took 3 or 4 weeks. The runners were from Party Rental Ltd, which is your standard party rental place but they have a few interesting things buried in their website. The venue was a friend's farm -- great to have generous friends!
The Quaker ceremony was the highlight for all of us, I think. It consisted of a period of silence during which everyone is free to stand up and speak. We put a lot of thought into how to introduce the idea to guests, to make them feel comfortable and to inspire thoughtful comments. The result was better than we ever could have imagined!
Looks like a fantastic place to have a wedding. Love the little field notes booklets!
