Photo: Joshua Bright1/24We made the flower-girl halos from baby’s breath and field daisies from the farm. I love baby’s breath—it’s such a simple and sweet flower.
Photo: Joshua Bright2/24I chose the farm as our wedding venue because it was this beautiful, open field. I wanted guests to feel like they were surrounded by nature.
Photo: Joshua Bright3/24Family friends in starched Battenburg aprons greeted our guests with programs and parasols.
Photo: Joshua Bright4/24The flower girls, Ella Browne and Poppy Browne, wore dresses designed by Luisa Beccaria. I wanted their outfits to have a playful and young feeling.
Photo: Joshua Bright5/24My dad, Alfred, and I drove to the wedding in a convertible. We were laughing as I tried to keep my veil from flying away.
Photo: Joshua Bright6/24Friends from all over the world came to celebrate with us.
Photo: Joshua Bright7/24The flower girls—Ella, Poppy, and Grace—and ring bearer, Jack, were so adorable.
Photo: Joshua Bright8/24Walking down the aisle with my dad was a surreal moment. I couldn’t believe it was all happening.
Photo: Joshua Bright9/24The ceremony aisle was lined with maidenhair ferns, wheatgrass, marguerite daisies, and dinner plate dahlias.
Photo: Joshua Bright10/24We had a fairly traditional ceremony, but touches like my friend Lizzie Owens singing “For the Beauty of the Earth,” which we used to sing at morning chapel in school, made it feel so personal.
Photo: Joshua Bright11/24We walked down the aisle as husband and wife to “God Only Knows” by the Beach Boys.
Photo: Joshua Bright12/24The basket of bunnies greeted guests as they walked into the reception. The flower girls immediately ran over to them.
Photo: Joshua Bright13/24Guests, young and old, loved the baby bunnies.
Photo: Joshua Bright14/24When I first envisioned the Tuscan table, I imagined it overflowing! We lined it with heirloom linen and baskets full of hydrangeas, delphiniums, and dogwood branches.
Photo: Joshua Bright15/24The vegetable garden lined the path that led guests from the ceremony to the reception. The rustic simplicity felt so organic.
Photo: Joshua Bright16/24Instead of going with a theme, most of our decisions complemented the feel of the farm. Ferns, cosmos, creeping vines cut from nearby foliage, heirloom Battenburg tablecloths, and mid-century wooden candlesticks decorated each seat.

Photo: Joshua Bright18/24We chose a clear tent that was lined with hydrangeas so people could feel close to nature.
Photo: Joshua Bright19/24This was the moment Alex and I entered the tent after the wedding. We could feel the love and excitement from everyone in the room.
Photo: Joshua Bright20/24Indonesian chicken baskets retrofitted as lanterns were one of my favorite accents in the tent. They added so much interest to the night.
Photo: Joshua Bright21/24Our dinner was more traditional and simple, but our dancing tent was exciting and vibrant—electric pink hearts lined the walls, and there was a black-and-white checkered floor.
Photo: Joshua Bright22/24After dinner we surprised guests by dropping a wall of the tent to reveal the dancing portion of the night. Guests immediately rushed to the floor to Prince and the Revolution’s “Let’s Go Crazy.”
Photo: Joshua Bright23/24I changed into this gorgeous Naeem Khan dress after we started dancing. It had sparkly beads that swished and swayed while I moved. The sparkler-adorned cake matched!
Photo: Joshua Bright24/24The dancing lasted late into the night, with an after-party at Sunset Beach Hotel that followed.
