I really loved Shelley and Andy’s Aldo Leopold Nature Center wedding last June. It was relaxed, outside, and everyone was smiling for them all day. They are an incredibly kind and down-to-earth couple, so it was so fun to see all of their loved ones join them to celebrate. And, they are pregnant with twins right now, so what a great time to share their beautiful wedding day!
An Aldo Leopold Nature Center Wedding
Shelley and Andy planned a super laid-back day that suited their personalities perfectly. They really wanted to keep things low-key so that they could be present and enjoy their wedding. They totally nailed it.
Their day started with a really sweet first look with just the two of them out in the field at the nature center. It was nice for them to have a private moment together before guests started to arrive. Then their ceremony outside was beautiful and emotional as they exchanged their vows. They decorated their ceremony space with intentional pieces that really highlighted the nature backdrop. It was the perfect setting.
After the ceremony, they had a cocktail hour out on the deck of the center’s main building, and they had lawn games set up for guests to hang out and enjoy too. The rest of the reception was equally as relaxed and fun. Because of the way Shelley and Andy planned their day, they were able to actually spend time with their guests (and eachother!) and enjoy themselves. Overall it was such a fun day.
Congratulations Shelley + Andy, so happy for you two!
