We adore this intimate bohemian-style affair from Kirsten Smith Photography! It started with a ceremony at the Martini Lutheran Church, and culminated with a family-style Bluegrass Tavern wedding reception. The bride, Kelley, tells us more about their big day.
“I wanted a easy, peaceful vibe accented with lots of flowers. I never really had a specific color theme just based it on a bohemian floral theme. We were married in my family’s church. 7 generations were married there before us along with my ancestor’s who founded Martini Lutheran Church. My bridesmaids wore butterfly necklaces in memory of my best friend who passed from cancer. Our daughter, Nora, traveled down the aisle in a wagon that was painted and decorated by my cousin and bridesmaids. We kept our wedding small and I loved sharing such intimate moments with our closest family and friends. I loved having a moment “alone” with Andrew before the wedding at the first look. The whole thing was about sharing our favorite things with our loved ones…. the neighborhood Andrew and I lived in (Federal Hill) our family’s church, our favorite restaurant, Bluegrass Tavern, and hand-picked wine pairings, the afterparty @ No Idea Tavern, which was our “go to” spot/ dive bar when we lived in the neighborhood. Sharing all these special places and moments is what I think made our day perfect!”
