by: Vintage Rustic Wedding in a Historic Courthouse Venue
As promised, we're sharing Rachael and Eric's gorgeous vintage rustic wedding at the Historic Courthouse in Stillwater, MN today. What a beautiful, crisp Autumn day they had in this historic river town. Eric looked handsome in his pinstripe brown suit and Rachael looked absolutely stunning dressed in her lace mermaid gown. And, so pretty are the bridesmaids dressed in their short orange-red dresses with illusion necklines and ruffled bottoms! Their vibrant fall color scheme was creatively carried throughout the wedding look--from the florals to the stationery and décor. Enjoy as Rachael shares a few sweet snippets from their big day!

My experience was wonderful! The fact that we were able to order samples was great. The design fit perfect ... the colors and design were exactly what I wanted!
The Floral Trunk
We would also like to thank Brian from The Floral Trunk for creating stunning bouquets. I wanted the flowers to stand out against the bridesmaid dresses and mine. I had them combine the oranges, ivories, moss and pops of yellow to the bouquets to bring out the colors of fall.

And a thank you to Betty from River Falls Catering for creating a wonderful menu for our wedding: salmon, WI wild rice stuffed chicken and bacon-wrapped filet mignon.
