Handmade Garden Wedding

All about the wedding style

We started by finding the venue that spoke to what we wanted: casual, rustic, heavy on the nature, and somewhere we could see being super romantic. We ended up opting for Terrain at Styer’s, a garden center in Glen Mills, PA that also has an amazing farm to table menu in their in-house café. Terrain feels as intimate as someone’s well-styled backyard and also has the natural beauty of rustic elements mixed with all the greenery and florals a bride could possibly ask for.

on selecting drinks

We are both beer fans, so we opted to have two simple signature cocktails- served in mason jars with floral paper straws. We also had wine, and a choice of 9 different beers, each one handpicked and from a city we have lived in. It was super important to us to make sure that we had a journey through beer so our guests could try different things.

I spent the 2 years we were engaged searching through every thrift store I could find for vintage vases and containers for our flowers. I wanted everything to look hand-picked, and mis-matched- as if you rummaged through your grandparent’s attic to style your flowers. Along the way I also scored some amazing tarnished silver trays that we ended up using for our epic Dessert bar that was imagined and executed by a friend of ours.

on selecting alternatives for cake

We figured that expressing our personality was way more interesting in offering a big choice of home-made goodies for our guests- we had everything from funfetti cake bars to samoa macaroons, to handmade Buffalo NY original Sponge Candy.

Cake definitely fell on our “not a big deal” list, and so we saved a ton of money by purchasing two single tiered cakes from our local grocery store, and dressing them up with some fresh flowers from our florist, and some vintage cake stands.
