Gothic Forest Wedding at Bridle Oaks

N&O put so many intricate details into preparing for their special day. Like these signs that Natasha had created that lined the pathway leading from the cocktail barn to the ceremony at Bridle Oaks. The signs were made from thrifted frames that were spray painted gold and matte black. She used her cricuit maker to write out the lettering of her poem to Owen for their wedding day.

“Weave your life with mine
that your sorrows and doubts be tempted
by our joy, our laughter,
and our comfort in one another
you will be my light
my life
my love
and I will be yours
a home for your heart until the stars go out”

— Natasha Winters

Natasha also had a one-of-a-kind wedding dress made by her maid of honor
(and in her own words, “head b*tch” lol).
Natasha and Sydney collaborated on the design and created a mash up of multiple dress designs to form this custom wedding gown.
The black lace with moody magenta layers was just stunning!

Wow! This intimate table setting really drew you in. This was the first time I had seen the reception barn draped in this beautiful burgundy fabric and I think this detail really helped create that warm and moody atmosphere amongst all of the other details that were added.

You might recognize the lanterns on the corners of the tables. Instead of the traditional - bridesmaids holding bouquets - Natasha had the idea of the bridesmaids holding lanterns which I thought was simply brilliant. Not only was it a dramatic addition for the bridesmaids but looked so whimsical as accents for the seating area too.

Hands down the most elaborate and inviting candy bar I’ve ever seen!!

Wishing Natasha & Owen a lifetime of light & love.

<3,
AAG
