This touch of warm January weather has us reminiscing on a favorite from this past summer! Tyler and Marlana celebrated their big day at the cozy and quaint Blackberry Creek Retreat in Rogersville, MO alongside family and friends. Check out their sweet nuptials captured by D. Coleman Photography!
What was the
most sentimental part of your ceremony?
We both wrote a letter to other to
read before the ceremony. We each also
wrote a letter to be read on our first anniversary and placed the letters in
box during the ceremony. We plan on
writing letters to each other every anniversary and opening them the following
year.
Why did you
choose the ceremony space that you did?
We
wanted an outdoor ceremony, and couldn’t imagine a more perfect place than the
Blackberry Creek Retreat for our wedding.
The ceremony space is a large deck at the edge of the woods overlooking
a creek. The tree in the middle of the
deck provided the perfect amount of shade for a summer wedding, and the lights
strung through the tree created the perfect ambiance.
Did you choose to do any memorable events or
traditions within your ceremony?
In place of a unity candle, we had a
“unity tree.” We closed on our first
home together just a few days before our wedding and thought it would be really
special to plant a tree symbolizing our growing relationship in the yard of our
first home.
