Wedding Planning: The Historic Wakefield Barn: Summer 2024
The Historic Wakefield Barn provided the perfect canvas for Emily and Dylan’s June wedding. With its timeless charm and sweeping grounds, the venue beautifully complemented Emily’s vision of a summer garden–inspired celebration. From lush florals to airy details, every element came together to create an atmosphere that felt romantic, natural, and completely in harmony with the season. The custom copper arbor, draped in fresh blooms, served as a breathtaking ceremony backdrop and later made its way into the reception as a focal point behind the sweetheart table, accented by a glowing neon sign. It was the perfect blend of rustic charm and whimsical elegance.
Preparations
The Wakefield Barn Ceremony
Emily and Dylan’s wedding was filled with details that spoke to who they are as a couple. Emily’s bridal look was both stunning and unique, featuring a custom floral crown in lieu of a veil—an ethereal nod to the garden theme. Her engagement ring, with its delicate pink center stone, stood out as another detail that made the day feel distinctly her own.
The Gorgeous Details
Both Emily and Dylan found ways to honor their loved ones who had passed by incorporating photos into their outfits, a meaningful reminder of those who remained close in spirit. Their beloved dog also had a starring role in the celebration, outfitted in her own gown with flowers to match her mom—a true VIP guest. And in one of the sweetest touches of the day, Emily and Dylan invited their grandmother to be the flower girl, a moment that brought joy and happy tears alike.
The Party at Wakefield Barn
From start to finish, Emily and Dylan’s wedding radiated warmth, love, and fun. The garden theme carried seamlessly into the reception, where custom bar signs highlighted their signature “his and hers” cocktails and guests enjoyed a lively evening filled with laughter, dancing, and heartfelt toasts.
The setting, the details, and the thoughtful personal touches all worked together to create a day that felt unmistakably “them.” It was a celebration that blended beauty, sentiment, and joy—a summer wedding at the Historic Wakefield Barn that their family and friends will cherish forever.
