Summertime Backyard New Hampshire Wedding: Megan + Andrew
Summertime Backyard New Hampshire Wedding: Megan + Andrew
via
Today's wedding will have you dreaming of the warm, summer days that lay ahead with a sweet, vibrant palette and lots of dreamy summertime details! Megan + Andrew's venue, his family farm in New Hampshire, has been in Andrew's family since the late 1920s and it was the perfect place for these tow lovebirds to gather with family + close friends to celebrate their nuptials.
Megan shares, Much of Andrew's family has been married there (including his parents), and we were married in a field, on the crest of a hill, just in front of a beautiful family graveyard and within view of the pond where Andrew first told me he loved me. All this to say, the full cycle of life was honored at the farm - it is a place of birth, love, death, rebirth. It has changed much over the seasons, over the years, and having it there connects us to family, to nature, to the seasons, and to all sentient beings.
Thanks so much to Jillian Mitchell for the stunning images below and big congrats to M + A on a truly beautiful day!
We are beyond obsessed with Megan's floral appliqué Mira Zwillinger wedding dress. So, so stunning!

Andrew and I used old mailboxes from the farm and put the names of charities on them that are dear to us (AIDS Lifecycle, Defenders of Wildlife, Seeds of Peace, and Ubuntu). People's individual place cards were vintage New Hampshire post cards that were hung with clothespins on a tree in the cocktail hour area. As people entered the reception tent, they were asked to place their postcard into a mailbox of their choice, and we donated to the respective charity of their choice on their behalf. Then, we used those very same postcards as their thank you cards!
