Happy June! Oakhaven is well into its Spring wedding season and I am so excited to highlight one of the May weddings that we had the honor of hosting. Check out Amber + Tyler’s gorgeous wedding below.

Amber’s sheath silhouette dress was gorgeous and looked as if it were made just for her. The lace and subtle beading/sequin details were absolutely stunning. The keyhole back and perfect length train just gave the dress that extra “wow” that every bride wants for on their day and Amber nailed it for hers!

Three images: a bride in a detailed lace gown with a long train, a close-up of the lace dress hanging, and the bride adjusting her earring.

The weather couldn’t have been more perfect for Tyler + Amber. The sun was shining and there was a light breeze blowing. This created the most perfect day for a Gazebo wedding in our Manor Gardens. With our own flowers blooming, Amber’s florist, The Twisted Tulip, brought even more life into the garden (and barn for the awesome reception) with beautiful arrangements containing: roses, rice flower, thistle, lisuanthus, ruscus and bleached ruscus.

Wedding ceremony and reception in rustic setting; couple exchanging vows, floral centerpiece with orange roses, and bride and groom dancing indoors by a fireplace.

The new Mr. and Mrs. Motley’s partied the night away in our Grand Dutch Barn but not before starting the night off right with a little game of Flip Cup with their bridal party! Talk about a way to get the party started! This wedding was so much fun, and you could feel the joy and love throughout the entire day. Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Tyler Motley!
