Motorcycles, cowboy chic, & vinyl at this Pennsylvania backyard wedding

I have heard it told that when a hairless cat watches you get ready for your wedding, you’re in for a lifetime of good luck. You haven’t heard that? It’s a thing. So when Britta and Tomy’s no-frills Pennsylvania backyard wedding came across my screen, I knew it was good luck.

You’ll be enthralled by the many motorcycles and vans, casual cowboy chic, the vintage-fab ladies arriving in a classic car, and the pops of red everywhere.

The ceremony was performed by a family friend, surrounded by a small group of family and friends in the stunning atrium. Both Ashley and Dave are coffee enthusiasts so for their cocktail hour they had a coffee bar by Caffe Amouri.

Their vegan wedding dinner was Irish breakfast-themed catered by DC Vegan. At the end, they were sent off by a cascade of bubbles. You’ve got to see this one…

A stunningly moody Kentucky art gallery wedding with glowing details

Gretchen and Landen found an art gallery as their venue so their decor was already mostly set and amazing. They really wanted to showcase the venue with it’s displayed art pieces and graffiti. All it needed were some simple white tablecloths with candles, acrylic table numbers (that Gretchen and her father made), and uncomplicated greenery as centerpieces.

It was a glowing, moody, and seriously gorgeous wedding that you won’t want to miss…
