Real Wedding: Meredith + Scott, II

There is a lot to love about today’s featured affair. It’s sweet simplicity. It’s utter charm. It’s approachable, effortless style. But most of all, I am totally smitten with the laid back elegance of the day. The umbrellas plopped inside a rain bucket, friends and family helping with the flowers, the picnic table and chair set up for guests. It’s all just so lovely!

Oh and I am completely and madly in love with the flowers…the perfect pink flowers tucked inside milk glass bowls, set against a simple burlap (or otherwise neutral) table runner. Total gorgeousness. Jessamyn Harris is the talent behind the photos that completely tell the story of the day. I love that.

Here is a cute little detail from Jessamyn…

The cute boy…it’s the best man, Ben. Ben cleaned up quite a bit for this wedding – hard to describe how much if you don’t know him personally – and rented a tux with pink details just to show Scott how much he cares. I think Scott was worried Ben would show up shaggy and dirty and punk rock , so Ben took the challenge to the extreme. I told him he looked like a mean jock from a 1980s movie – remember when preppy men could wear pink and still beat you up? – but I should’ve also said, he looked very nice.

More from Jessamyn…

The weather was cold and rainy. Meredith and Scott came close to panicking in the week leading up to the wedding, then decided that, instead of moving it to a boring and impersonal location, they would cover some of the arbors, ask everyone to bring umbrellas and rain boots, and hope for the best. And it worked! The wedding proceeded beautifully and the occasional drizzle just added to the overall romance of the wonderful day!

Real Wedding: Meredith + Scott

Abby Larson — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 12:41:31 +0000

We have the sweetest wedding for you today. Sent to us by Jessamyn Harris, who seems to be forever blessed with the coolest friends and clients, this wedding is all about homegrown elegance. It’s further proof that weddings can be beautiful, without breaking the bank, effortlessly lovely without all the fuss.

From Jessamyn…

Meredith and Scott are the sweetest, most creative people you could imagine, so it was no surprise that their wedding was gorgeous and filled with color, love, and friends. I didn’t get the usual portraits, ceremony shots, group shots, etc., as I was a guest at the wedding instead of the official photographer (although, yes, I couldn’t resist shooting nearly 300 images of my friends and the beautiful garden). The cute couple did almost everything themselves (along with family and friends). The location was some friends’ garden in rural Sonoma County, filled with May blooms and some very cool rustic details.
