Real Weddings: Catherine + Nate

Catherine and Nate had a laid back wedding at Catherine’s family’s vineyard, Tarara Winery. The girls got ready in a historic cabin hidden in the woods, a perfect, natural backdrop for Katelyn James to take photos. Can you believe her dress is handmade? The wildflower bouquets by Holly Chapple were wrapped in twine and hemp, complementing their relaxed feel. With rustic touches like these, a ceremony by the lake, and yummy pies, Catherine and Nate had a wedding that was beautiful and completely personal!

    The down-home vibe is so lovely, between the bouquets and the pies it has a really personal feel, exactly what a wedding should be like. Congrats guys!

    I LOVE this wedding! It’s one of my favorites of Katelyn’s weddings. The colors are amazing and I love the simplicity of the bride’s dress. Holly knocked these flowers out of the park, and Katelyn never disappoints. Love it!

    So pretty! I just love Holly’s flowers. The lanterns incorporated into the design are super cute as well.
