A day of absolute organic, garden-style bliss for Aaron and Grant at The Veranda, where their wedding day was a love letter to their journey as a couple.

Grant shared how they incorporated their lifestyle and growing relationship into their wedding, making each detail intentional. “At cocktail hour we had Polaroid cameras scattered in the courtyard for guests to take their own photos with stamped envelopes to take them home, and a handout that featured a custom crossword puzzle to play during downtime (we had a 1,000 day streak solving the NYT crossword together). We decorated the edge of the courtyard with poster sized prints of our engagement photos.”

Aaron worked on the road for the first few years of their relationship, so they would hit the road together and fell in love while traveling, making it an underlying theme in their celebration.

“Each table number was a vintage postcard sticking up out of the centerpiece from a state we’ve traveled to together. Scattered on the tables were Polaroid pictures of us in that state and the flowers were in green glass compotes that we collected and thrifted together”, Grant mentioned.
