The Bride Mackenzie (Kenzie) Ross, 25, a people consultant for Ernst & Young The Groom Christopher (Chris) Spencer, 29, a cost manager for Turner & Townsend The Date October 29 A relaxed affair as the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains was the perfect way to celebrate the nuptials of this outdoorsy camp couple. Pops of deep purple, green and candy-apple red livened up their rustic-chic day.

Per English tradition (Chris hails from across the pond), the couple signed a wedding registry in front of their guests during the ceremony.
Kenzie was thrilled to find these peep-toe pumps in exactly the right shade of purple.
The couple's silhouettes, names and the date were applied to the programs via a custom stamp. They added one of Kenzie's favorite quotes along the bottom.
Kenzie wanted something rustic and natural, which translated into this head-turning collection of anemones, peonies, fiddlehead ferns and berries.
S'mores Favors
An urn filled with fiddlehead ferns, succulents, roses and orchids served as the focal point at the ceremony.
The Ceremony Location
Loose arrangements of red ranunculus filled glass jars.
