The buttercream-frosted cake was topped with fresh pink and white flowers.
Not wanting to take away from the venue's beautiful surroundings, the couple kept the arrangements low and simple. Tulips, roses, sweet peas and dusty miller filled glass vases.
The floral wreaths from the ceremony also decorated the entrance to the reception.
The escort cards were set up in beds of wheatgrass.
With help from her mom, Lindsey made the table numbers and planted them in potted wheatgrass.

The classic, black embossed invitations were delivered in an envelope with a whimsical patterned liner.
