Real Wedding Story: Sarah & Josh

It was “I do, part two” for Sarah and Josh on this beautiful August Sunday. They postponed their wedding last year due to the pandemic and held an intimate ceremony in lieu of a big wedding with the hopes of celebrating with their loved ones in the future and this day did not disappoint! I love when a couple’s day truly revolves around them, the things they love and the people that they love. 

After a relaxing morning of getting ready at the barn, Sarah and Josh walked arm in arm to their vow renewal underneath the romantic willow tree. Guests witnessed their vow renewal in a casual atmosphere while they stood and took in the beautiful scene by the pond at Black Barn Vineyard and Winery. Sarah wore the most beautiful cape embroidered with colorful wildflowers. 

After the ceremony ended, guests walked back to the barn and enjoyed playing a variety of lawn games with appetizers and festive drinks during the cocktail hour. Sarah and Josh also had a giant Jenga set that they had their guests sign and leave notes on- it was so much fun! To kick-off dinner, Sarah and Josh thanked everyone for being there and you could really tell how much these two valued their friends and family. Guests enjoyed an amazing BBQ spread from Finley’s Smokehouse and Grill. Greenery arrangements line the tables and packaged s’mores favors were set out at every place setting. Guests also enjoyed making their s’mores over the fire table at the venue, yum! The couple also had a Good Humor ice cream cart filled with all sorts of cool treats for everyone to enjoy on this summer night. The sweet melodies of Taylor Swift (Sarah’s favorite) often filled the air and it was such a fun atmosphere throughout the rest of the night. 

Congratulations to Sarah and Josh, you guys will never go out of style!
