Summer Camp Wedding…

Today I have a wedding that I love, love, love to share with you! Abi + Adam were married in September at an old summer camp in New Hampshire. Just looking at the photos of their beautiful day, captured by Boro Creative Visions, brings a HUGE smile to my face! I adore the laid back vibe, the bridesmaids’ emerald dresses, the colorful florals, and Abi + Adam’s sweet pup Timber, just to name a few things.

The bride Abi was sweet enough to share some details about the day with us…

The inspiration for our wedding has definitely shaped itself over the course of planning it. There were a couple of things that we knew right of the bat. Those things being that, it was going to be outside and this was not going to be an over the top formal, or incredibly traditional ceremony/reception. This is why we chose an old summer camp in Lyme, NH (now owned by family friends) to have the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception!
We were inspired by our shared love for the outdoors, which is what brought us both out to Jackson, WY, where we met. I guess if there is a theme, it would include words like, campy, outdoorsy, rustic, antique, casual, and a little bit of western to represent where we met and live.

Annnd a few words about how they included Timber. If you read this blog often, you will know I am a complete and utter sucker for all things puppy:)…

When we decided that the wedding would be in NH, there was no question Timber would be making the trip east with us from Wyoming. Three years back, Adam and I, made a, as my Mom warned, “huge commitment”, and adopted Timber. Timber, you could say, married us to each other for the rest of his dog life:) He made us a family. He is apart of “us”. So, of course he would be apart of our wedding! However, we weren’t sure just how involved, he would be. During the ceremony, Timber sat quietly at the edge of woods that were our backdrop, eyes glued to the treetops, oblivious to his parents, or so we thought. When it came time for our vows, Adam and I stepped forward to hold hands. In doing so, Timber immediately broke from his squirrel trance and trotted over to us. Standing at our feet, looking up at us with a smile and wagging tail, it was like he knew that mom and dad were doing something that he couldn’t miss. Not to sound cheesy but, I will anyway, it was perfect-just like him.

Here’s some final (and really good!) advice from Abi..

Chill out and don’t do leave anything to be done the day before. If you’re getting married on Saturday then, Thursday is the last day that you should do anything wedding-wise. I did not do this and that’s my one regret. I felt like I was in a dead sprint until the very end. Friday, should be for taking it all in and spending the extra time with friends and family. If you still have stuff to do then, you’ll be like me, a distracted mess! Slow it down and enjoy. Oh yea, and make sure to grab some dessert before it gets devoured! That way, when you’re looking back at pictures, you’re not salivating and imagining just how good those s’mores cupcakes must have tasted! It doesn’t matter how many you order, people go crazy with bite sized desserts.
