Up in the PNW,  the air is surely getting a little crisper… and definitely making me in the mood for cozying up with warm fall colors and autumn inspirations.  Today I’m reveling in Courtney and Sawyer’s rustic woodland wedding in shades of rich chocolate, ivory, green and gold.  Although they now reside in Chicago,  the couple’s September nuptials took place in Columbus, Ohio, at the Taylor Mansion,  just blocks away from their first home. Courtney and Sawyer envisioned an intimate, candlelit garden wedding with a cool fall breeze. Together, they DIY’d the reception décor and selected 60′s, 70′s and 80′s songs played on vinyl throughout the day; most important of all, they treasured the time spent at home with their loved ones.  Enjoy this spread of photos by Amanda Julca!

Courtney is soooo stunning…and Amanda captured her bridal beauty with such ease.  I’m so admiring her long brunette locks, pulled half way up.  The bridal party wore chocolate gowns by Watters, adding an unforgettable depth to the palette.

The joy-filled ceremony on the mansion steps was threatened by rain earlier in the day, but it cleared in the nick of time.  Inspired by the neighborhood gardens,  apothecary jar adornments, mossy accents, crystal chandeliers, string lights and a pop of aqua color brought a whimsical woodland feel to the tented reception.

Crazy cute, aren’t they?

Don’t miss the rest in the full feature…
