The Couple:

Anna Kate and Zane

The Wedding:

Oskar Blues Reeb Ranch, Brevard, North Carolina

I work as a graphic designer and I was SO excited to design our day. All of the signage, stationery collateral, table numbers, place cards, and printed material were designed and hand-lettered by me.

Focus on the moment! During planning, even though it’s easy to get wrapped up in the visual decor of things, it’s important to try and remember the actual day itself. Hiring a wedding planner was hugely important to us because it allowed us to focus on the upcoming big day and actually enjoy it instead of worrying about the details.

I grew up riding horses and was pretty much born in a barn, and always wanted to be married in one. It was also important for us to be married in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where I was raised and whereZaneproposed to me. The dairy barn at Reeb Ranch fit those criteria and more. I loved the character of the white barn and the red doors, and the history behind it — it was built in the 1940s by German immigrants and was made entirely of concrete which allowed it to retain such good shape over the years. The property included a hidden bonus — a charming 1800s cabin in the woods just steps from the ceremony site, which served as the “bridal cabin”. A private double waterfall in the background of the cabin on the property sealed the deal for us.

I wanted something that reflected our love of vintage ephemera and bohemian stye. Although we were picking a barn as our venue, we really did not want to go the typical rustic route so we leaned heavily on “eclectic” as our general vibe. One of the first decor items I planned were the vintage chairs, and the rest fell into place. Oriental rugs, mismatched plant stands, houseplants and a variety of vases were the perfect touch to my “eclectic” vibe, pulled together seamlessly by the crisp white backdrop of the barn front and chippy character of the barn interior. It was important for us to include sentimental aspects, my favorite of which being the cake topper we used which was used by both my mother and grandmother in their weddings as well.

Burgundy, sage, gold, and black were our colors. It was important for us be married in our favorite month, October, and wanted to honor the season of fall by using deep, moody wedding tones. I work as a graphic designer and use the same deep tones in much of my work so chose the colors for our wedding was simply a natural extension of my personal design tastes.
