A Romantic, Rustic Wedding at Barrington Hill Farm in Dade City, Florida
Morgan Cooper (28 and a naturalist) and Stephen Cooper (27 and a fishing guide) had the romantic, rustic wedding of their dreams at Barrington Hill Farms in Dade City, Florida, where they used neutral tones and warm lighting to create the perfect ambiance. "We knew we did not want anything about the day to be too formal," Morgan says, "but instead we wanted it to have a romantic, rustic feel where everyone could relax and feel comfortable." Brandi Watford Photography captured all the outdoor beauty of the day from the ceremony surrounded by lush oak trees to the exciting end-of-night firework display. "We wanted our details to have an earthy feel but also remain elegant at the same time," Morgan says. Their wedding coordinator, Alicia Trias, created custom elements that embodied the rustic charm including a white-door ceremony entrance with boxwood wreaths and ferns. Inside the plantation house, guests enjoyed their dinners while sitting at long farm tables adorned with white and cream floral arrangements created by Barrington Hill Designs along with warm candlelight that created a romantic setting. After a dance-filled reception, Morgan and Stephen planned to exit while guests waved sparklers. To their surprise, Alicia Trias set up a firework display that took everyone's breaths away. "Our coordinator surprised us by setting off fireworks, which made for a truly magical finale to a perfect day," Morgan says. "It was little details like this that made our big day that much more memorable."
