On a warm August afternoon, Bre and Ryan tied the knot surrounded by soft lavender hues and romantic summer details. Their lavender and sage wedding combined modern style, rustic charm, and laid-back joy. Set at The Grange Hall, a Ohio barn wedding venue, their day blended heartfelt moments with timeless countryside elegance.
A Morning Full of Laughter and Lavender
The morning began in the bridal suite, where Bre and her bridesmaids sipped coffee and got ready in matching lavender pajamas. Skipping the traditional first look, Bre and Ryan exchanged private vows without seeing one another—a quiet, emotional pause before the day’s excitement. Of course, not everything was serious! Bre made sure to “ice” the groomsmen, setting a playful tone that carried through the rest of the celebration.
A Dreamy Outdoor Ceremony
Their ceremony took place on the grass facing the runway, with summer greenery framing the scene. A simple wooden arbor served as the backdrop, draped in soft lavender and sage fabric and adorned with blooms in coordinating hues. White lanterns at the base added a crisp accent, while white seating contrasted beautifully against the lush landscape. Along the aisle, shepherd’s hooks held hanging lanterns, creating a romantic, light-filled path for Bre’s walk down the aisle. It was the perfect setting for an Ohio outdoor wedding; serene, elegant, and full of color.
A Modern Bridal Look with Vintage Charm
Bre’s gown was a showstopper: a modern fit-and-flare design embellished with pearls and floral appliqués. The square neckline and delicate straps gave her look clean, modern lines, while detachable split sleeves brought movement and romance. Her cascading bouquet—filled with lavender, plum, and white blooms paired with dark greenery—tied the lavender and sage wedding theme together effortlessly. Ryan looked timeless in a light grey suit paired with a white tie and a single white rose boutonniere. His groomsmen echoed the look with lavender ties and matching sprig boutonnières, creating a cohesive and classic bridal party aesthetic.
A Pastel Party
The bridesmaids wore mismatched gowns in soft lavender and sage tones, with a few floral prints sprinkled in for texture. Each carried a smaller bouquet filled with purple pampas, white florals, and touches of greenery. It beautifully complemented the pastel wedding palette. Together, the bridal party reflected the delicate yet joyful spirit of a summer Ohio barn wedding.
A Simple, Sweet Reception
The reception was a blend of cozy charm and intentional design. Round tables dressed in crisp white linens featured layered sage and lavender runners, heirloom china, and a nostalgic touch: bowls of cream cheese mints. Disposable cameras encouraged guests to capture the day through their own lens, while soft lighting and golden-hour views added to the warm, intimate feel. Guests enjoyed a catered dinner, followed by cake and buntings, before the couple snuck away for dreamy sunset photos. They quickly returned to the dance floor, surrounded by friends, laughter, and the glow of summer in full swing.
