Bright Colors & Garden Charm: Create the Ultimate Summer Wedding

On a warm day near the end of July, Mariah and Matthew celebrated their love surrounded by friends and family under the summer sun. Vibrant orange and pink hues took center stage to bring to life a celebration that was the essence of a summer wedding. While wedding planning from out-of-state was stressful at times, the couple enlisted an all-star vendor lineup to help bring their day to life. Check out the full list of vendors at the bottom of the page. Inspired by a photo she saw on Pinterest, Mariah turned to oranges to help bring her wedding to life – with mouthwatering results! While opinions vary, oranges are thought to symbolize prosperity, luck, and happiness – all great things for beginning a marriage. Scroll below to see some of our favorite moments from this couple’s splendid soiree.
