Writing Barn Rave: The Bride Wore Birkenstocks

We’ve had a number of weddings at The Writing Barn, ranging from 150 guests to more intimate ceremonies, but this weekend The Writing Barn grounds were the setting for the most intimate ceremony yet. Bride. Groom. Officiant. And photographer.  Harried by the larger wedding awaiting them this summer and all that involves, our elopement couple wanted an official yet private ceremony tailored to their personal wants without all the hubbub. Private. Serene. Earthy.

The morning ceremony, set to begin at 10:30 am, began after engagement pictures in the bluebonnets.

 Bonnie Berry Photography was the photographer and writer/wedding officiant Spike Gillespie served as officiant.

The lovely couple changed into their ceremony attire: a tie for the groom, and a beautiful short off-white gown for the bride, with matching Birkenstocks. After some first glance pictures, the foursome marched out under the large live Oaks outside the Barn and there, their private ceremony, was held.

After the ceremony, the newly married couple had booked an overnight at The Writing Barn, where a gift basket of fruit, champagne, Writing Barn mugs and other goodies awaited them. And, they left this Writing Barn Rave:

 

Bethany,
