The dresses and suits were hanging in the dressing rooms. The bouquets were carefully lined up in vases. Their dog, Kobe, was outside playing fetch with the groomsmen. The breeze whistled through the trees, just gently swaying the leaves. It was glorious. It was perfect.

I have a theory that Friday weddings are always a bit more relaxed–perhaps the reason I also chose a Friday wedding date–and these two really hit a home run with their carefree spirits and lack of clock-watching. It was, quite simply, a fresh breath of air.

Abi & Harrison got married at The Celebration Farm near Solon. For the ceremony, Abi wore a gorgeous Maggie Sottero gown and beautiful coral heels. Even more, Abi’s accessories were spot on and I particularly loved the wide cuff bracelet. (More to come later on Abi’s special reception gown.)

Abi & Harrison opted for a First Look and that gave us plenty of time for photos before the wedding. These are a few of my favorites.

Florals by the talented Tammy Vittetoe of Violets & Pearls. And see what I mean about that bracelet?!

Their dog, Kobe, was the ring bearer. For his excellent walk down the aisle, he was rewarded with dog treats. 🙂

Part two coming soon! In the meantime, see more at www.abiandharrison.emilycrall.com.
