A Bohemian Barn Wedding at Rodale Institute in Kutztown, Pennsylvania

Vibrant yarn details and deep red, pink and orange florals added punches of color to Courtney Bragg and Tim Reachinsky's rustic celebration at Rodale

Vibrant yarn details and deep red, pink and orange florals added punches of color to Courtney Bragg and Tim Reachinsky's rustic celebration at Rodale Institute in Kutztown, Pennsylvania. A large yarn display strung behind the sweetheart table added a homespun vibe to the couple's bold, bohemian-inspired decor. "We wanted our wedding to stand out from the norm and for our guests to feel an overwhelming sense of cheer and happiness," Courtney says. Spicy wedding favors paired deliciously with a locally sourced menu, which included chorizo and pork tacos. Plus, the bottles paid homage to Courtney's condiment of choice. "To say that she has a hot sauce obsession is an understatement, so our favors just made sense," Tim says. Instead of a sit-down dinner, a food truck served eats throughout the night. But getting the truck to the venue was easier said than done: The couple watched the truck be towed in during their ceremony! "It was just a small mishap that's funny for us to look back on," Courtney says of the truck's roadside blunder.—Allie Volpe

In order to explore the Rodale Institute's Kutztown, Pennsylvania, fields, Courtney opted for a pair of flat ivory shoes from Jeffrey Campbell. Her bouquet consisted of pink, orange and yellow dahlias, celosia, zinnias, ranunculus, limonium, tulips, freesia, stock, asters, safflowers, nagi, plumosa and eucalyptus feathers.

Courtney found a universally flattering bridesmaid gown that suited all eight of her bridesmaids—even one who was pregnant! They all wore the Polly Dress in blush by Joanna August from BHLDN.
The ceremony took place under a large sugar maple tree. Guests were seated on long wooden jack benches rented from Maggpie Vintage.
Courtney walked down the aisle in an ivory slim-fit lace BHLDN gown with an illusion neckline and a blush underlay. "It was just the right amount of vintage and contemporary, and I just fell in love with the neckline," she says.
Keeping her hair loose and natural, Courtney capped off her look with a quartz crystal crown, made by Elemental Child, a company she discovered on Instagram.

The Rodale Institute's grounds in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, are home to numerous greenhouses, which added to the venue's charm. "Courtney had an unhealthy obsession with having photos taken in and in front of a few large geodesic-dome-shaped greenhouses," Tim says. "The photos have already become a favorite in our home."

"To say that Courtney has a hot-sauce obsession is an understatement," Tim says. "So it was natural that hot sauce would be our favor, and it went with each dish on the menu as well." The couple purchased bottles and labels and had family fill them.

The two-layer Bundt cake was made by Courtney's sister-in-law and bridesmaid Sherrie, keeping it simple by using Pillsbury confetti cake and chocolate drizzle.
