A Natural Chic Saltwater Farm Vineyard Wedding by Justin & Mary

Today's wedding by Justin & Mary is near and dear to me for a special reason - it was held at Saltwater Farm Vineyard (the same place my reception was!) Designed by the bride & groom themselves; this wedding is the epitome of clean, earthy, chic goodness.  Add to that so many wonderful meaningful handmade details and a drop dead gorgeous couple, Esther & JC, and you have one heck of beautiful day.


A sparkling fall day, a positively glowing couple, and homemade detail #1 - the bride's dress!! The groom's aunt hand-sewed Esther's gorgeous gown; now that is an instant family heirloom.



Homemade detail #2 -  JC brewed all of the beer featured at the wedding. He even made customized crates for his company, Trillium Brewing and created labels for each kind of beer he brewed.  Stonington Pale Ale - yes please!


Homemade detail #3 - JC's relatives also made these fantastic tree stump cake stands - total and utter rustic perfection!



::sigh:: doesn't it make you wish you were there?  A huge congratulations to JC & Esther (who were one of the first weddings at Saltwater Farm Vineyard!) and thank you to Justin & Mary for sharing all of these wonderful captured moments from their big day!
