The Florals: Emma Jane Designs

When it comes to setting the mood with florals, Emma Jane Designs knocked it out of the park. From the moment guests entered the space, they were greeted with a sea of wild, romantic florals. Bud vases lined the tables, each filled with delicate blooms that added splashes of color and texture to the room. The floral arrangements were thoughtfully curated to enhance the already gorgeous setting of Stanford Farm while adding a timeless elegance to the occasion.

The bride's bouquet was truly something to behold. Created with the same attention to detail and artistry, it captured the essence of Tracie's style—romantic, wild, and utterly timeless. The bridesmaids also carried matching bouquets, tying together the bridal party with a touch of floral sophistication.

Tracie’s Styling: A Masterpiece of Vintage Meets Modern

With her experience in styling vintage events, Tracie had a clear vision for her wedding, and she brought it to life beautifully. Using a mix of modern and vintage elements, she created a wedding set-up that was uniquely hers. From antique furniture pieces to whimsical decor details, every corner of the venue told a story. Her passion for design was evident, from the artfully arranged seating areas to the perfectly styled props that dotted the space, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

It’s no surprise that Tracie’s eye for detail made the entire day feel like it was plucked from the pages of a wedding magazine. The fusion of vintage vibes with a modern twist ensured that the wedding felt both timeless and on-trend.

The Feast: Grazing Brew Box

Of course, no wedding is complete without an incredible feast, and Grazing Brew Box delivered just that. Not only do I adore Tracie and her gang on a personal level, but their grazing boards never fail to impress. They created a stunning array of food that was as much a feast for the eyes as it was for the palate.

The grazing boards overflowed with artisan cheeses, fresh fruits, gourmet cured meats, and delightful accompaniments. The setup added an extra layer of decor to the tables, with food that doubled as art. It was the perfect mix of casual and elegant, offering guests an unforgettable dining experience. Grazing Brew Box always brings that extra “wow” factor, making the catering as stylish as it was delicious.

The Entertainment: A Musical Journey

Music was a key part of the day, setting the tone and keeping the energy high from the ceremony to the late-night celebration. Joe Seagar provided the perfect soundtrack to the day, serenading guests from the ceremony all the way to the early evening reception. His music effortlessly flowed from mellow melodies during the drinks reception to dance-inducing beats as the evening went on.

As the night unfolded, guests hit the dance floor, and the atmosphere was electric. Sonic Boom Band took over to close the night, delivering a high-energy performance that kept everyone dancing and celebrating until the very end. Their vibrant performance was the perfect way to round off such an incredible day.
