Jolene and Matt chose to host their wedding and reception at their home in Faribault MN. Rustic Elegance teamed up with Belle Noelle Events and Design to co-plan this amazing event! The day couldn't have been any more perfect. We set out 325 chairs facing the lake where the ceremony took place. The pergola was ever so carefully decorated with brightly popping flowers by Judys Floral Design. The wedding party was escorted down to the ceremony site by horse and hay wagon. The guests oo and awed as the cute little ring bearers made their entrance. After the I-do's had been said, guests made their way up to the eloquently decorated tent reception. The carefully hung 12-light chandelier and sheer draping by We've Got it Covered, wowed the guests as they entered the reception. The Guests enjoyed cocktails and passed appetizers provided by This Little Piggy Catering and kids of all ages enjoyed yard games and fun outdoor activities. When it was time for dinner, guests took their seats and Joleen and Matt made their entrance. The wedding party was seated at a grand head table, which consisted of 4 farm tables, burlap and lace runners from our rental collection, lots of glowing candles and tons of brightly popping flowers. As always, This Little Piggy Catering put on an amazing dinner buffet. Speeches were given, which bought tears to most and then it was time to enjoy desserts! Jolene and Matt chose to do a dessert buffet which consisted of cupcakes by Blue Bird Cakery (YUM!!), pies, cookies, bars, cake.. etc... The night came to a close with an emotional wish lantern ceremony (check out the video below), dancing and ended with a bang of surprise fireworks. We feel so grateful to have met Jolene and Matt and felt honored to have been apart of their day! Special thanks to Bethany Meister Photography for sharing this outstanding photos with us!!
