Aug17 Real Wedding: Melissa and Walter 2010
Photographer Abigail Seymour is about to rock your world. Melissa and Walter’s mountain wedding at Lake Eden was so absolutely gorgeous, I feel a bit like I’ve won the lottery because I get to share it here first! Everything from the eclectic wildflowers, to the eucalyptus wreath around the dainty cake, to the insanely beautiful light infused portrait session is absolutely perfect. This wedding infuses wild rustic elements with soft feminine touches and I just can’t get enough. Special thanks to Abigail Seymour for sharing these with us. Her work is always so incredibly lovely. Like I said, today, I won the lottery.
Abigail tells us a few details about Melissa and Walter’s wedding:
The huppah under which they said their vows was made from a vintage lace tablecloth that belonged to Melissa’s grandmother, and was carried by their bridal party via tree branches found that morning in the woods. She and Walter chose to see each other beforehand, and then immediately after the ceremony they took a private, ten-minute walk through the woods. They wisely understood how easy it is to spend the whole wedding together without really getting a chance to stop and appreciate what has happened.
So many lovely, thoughtful details: the escort cards were clipped to a yellow Schwinn bicycle, the theme of which was echoed in the boxed chocolate wedding favors. There was old-fashioned cornhole to play, frisbees to be thrown, beachballs and bubbles for the kids, and a { kick-a** band } that has played the { LEAF festival }, on whose hallowed ground the whole shindig took place.
I hope you enjoy the images! Check below for additional vendor information!

GREY LIKES COMMENTS!
Wow, what a fantastic idea to have your guests pick their escort cards from a bicycle rather than the traditional place names!
Would also be a fantastic idea to use a bicycle for guests to leave a post-it comment on instead of a guest book or the more recent wishing tree =)
What a beautiful wedding! I love the details!!
That bike turned guest book is ahhh-mazing!
