when the forecast calls for rain (a 100% chance of rain in fact), but not a drop falls from the sky your entire wedding day, you know luck is on your side. it seems that #aandbabe kristie and patrick have always been lucky in love, from meeting at a bar to passing the bar, kristie and patrick have built a beautiful life together throughout the years. when it came to their wedding day, this couple just wanted to celebrate simply and soak in this wonderful time with family and friends. spending "the entire night dancing under a clear sky of stars to live music" in their backyard, we'd say their laid-back wedding was just what they always had in mind.
kristie in alyssa kristin... talk about another perfect match. from the elegant straight neckline of alyssa kristin's 'sydney' wedding dress to the statement tulle veil kristie wore down the aisle, every detail was spot on. glowing as she walked past church pews, kristie's crepe fitted wedding dress looked chic and sophisticated. from sheer side cutouts to covered buttons on the zipper, this classic alyssa kristin wedding dress was ideal for kristie and patrick's cozy church wedding and relaxed back yard reception.
walking back down the church's stone aisle as husband and wife, kristie and patrick were ready to continue their day at home with cake and lots of dancing. from long dining tables to brass lanterns, their backyard was transformed into a timeless reception space. after hours of dancing, a "late-night snack of coney hotdogs" arrived and guests happily enjoyed their delicious bites before partaking in a sparkler wedding send-off. with stomachs full and the night sky radiating with tiny sparks, we couldn't imagine a more enchanting way to wrap up their elegant wedding day.
