Kori & Connor
Our Summer Solstice wedding was truly a midsummer night’s dream! Choosing to have the best day of our lives on the longest day of the year meant adding personal touches and contemporary flair to ancient solstice traditions. To create an organic and elegant celebration of light and love, we incorporated motifs of circles and flame, with semi-circular ceremony seating, a reception-adjacent fire pit, and many recycled glass candle vessels. Natural elements included handcrafted and personalized wildflower seed packets for our guests to plant at home, moss and succulents tucked in among the florals, and the incomparably lush landscaping at our breathtaking venue.
We wanted our reception to be a great party (and it was!), but we didn’t want to overshadow the reason for the occasion. Special moments and symbolic nods focused on our connection to each other and our guests. We wrote and exchanged our personal vows alone during our first look, then spent the remaining time before the ceremony together. For our handfasting, we fashioned a cord made of spare fabric and details from the bride’s and bridesmaids’ gowns intertwined with material from both our mothers’ wedding gowns and veils. June 21st, 2022 was truly a celebration of not only the love we share, but of the love we have for our friends and family and for our Earth.
