DIY Rustic September Wedding in a Barn, Complete with BBQ Lunch Buffet

We were so thrilled to be able to work with Robyn and Ben for their early September wedding at the Hampton Barn at Belwood Lake Conservation Area.  Robyn had such a solid vision for her wedding from the very first meeting, and everything looked picture perfect.  The rain held off for the ceremony, and a BBQ lunch was exactly what everyone needed once the rain started and they moved inside.

Robyn planned for every last detail - signage for everything, and her DIY decorations brought the room to life

Ceremony site, we love the sign!

Reception snacks were served outside under the covered deck, and you better believe there was a handmade sign for that too!
