Real Wedding Spotlight: Nature’s Elegance – A Classic Black-and-White Outdoor Garden Wedding

On a sunny day in early September, Tina and Kue took the next step in their relationship……becoming husband and wife. Their elegant and modern nuptials savored the last drops of summer, and celebrated accordingly. A crisp black and white color palate lent its hand to creating an elevated experience for guests and the couple alike, as white florals and bright greenery transformed the ceremony and reception spaces. The couple’s joy was infectious as guests gathered on The Lawn for their vows, and excitement was high as guests hit the dance floor in the Wedding Reception Tent to kick off the reception. Scroll below for some of our favorite photos from this classic wedding, and you’ll see why we’re still talking about this event, a year later!
