Abby & Jonah married in the most special place on earth – at the house the Groom grew up in. It was a place where they witnessed other siblings get married, and where Abby knew she loved Jonah for the first time. It was only fitting for them to have an at home wedding.
Abby is an avid thrifter, so many of their decor items were either thrifted or handmade. Abby included sentimental items like her parent’s cake knife and server. The bridesmaids all were able to thrift or buy the magenta dress of their choice. The ladies all made their own bouquets and florals for the wedding, which was such a special way to spend time together the week of the wedding. They held their reception under a pole tent with a black and white checkered dance floor. Take a look into a few moments form their special day!
