About Me: Between work and wedding planning, I try to squeeze in napping, drawing, random spurts of craftiness, tennis, and eating lots of Sprinkles cupcakes, dark chocolate, and noodles of all kinds. Mr. Lime and I have spent our adult lives growing up together, and we're very excited to finally be getting married!

[The North Lawn] Where we held our ceremony.
[The Bridal Room] There is a room provided for the guys, too.
[The Dining Room] Bridal party + family access only.
[The Grounds] Lots of lawn, huge + old trees, seasonally-changed flora, architectural gem of a house (but not everyone’s style), charming courtyard.
[The Courtyard] Where we did our cocktail hour. It’s lovely for smaller ceremonies and receptions as well. We would have done our ceremony here if our guest list had been smaller.

[The Backyard] Where we held our reception. There’s a small fountain, tons of space, and a concrete “dance floor” so you don’t have to rent one.

What a gorgeous setting 
what a beautiful place to have a wedding. i LOVE the last shot of everyone seated at the reception.
Gorgeous! Was your wedding and reception held in the evening?
I am having my wedding completely outdoors also and am a bit nervous about the variables involved. Do you have any advice in preparing for the elements?
