A Rustic Spring Wedding With Vintage Details at the Barn at Sleepy Hollow in Clarksville, Arkansas

Karley King (21 and works in child care) and Christopher King (27 and works in herbicides) wanted a wedding centered on three simple but sentimental words: beautiful, family and blessed. "We tried to implement these words into every aspect of our day and really portray who we are," Karley says. A shared passion for nature and the woods led them to the Barn at Sleepy Hollow in Clarksville, Arkansas, for their spring nuptials. The couple were married by Karley's grandfather in an emotional outdoor ceremony surrounded by enchanting trees and their closest loved ones. The natural beauty was enriched by rustic signs, soft blooms, lush greenery and an abundance of baby's breath. A stone pathway was flanked by rows of open-faced logs draped in family quilts and gave way to the dreamy altar: a wooden arch adorned with cascading greens and airy flowers. After vows were exchanged, guests walked a short distance to the barn for the intimate reception. The Barn at Sleepy Hollow was filled with earthy wood, galvanized metal and striking chandeliers, so Karley and Christopher infused the charming space with the same soft palette of blush, peach and ivory with greenery and hints of teal. A combination of vintage and rustic details—like the centerpieces featuring family oil lamps and tree-trunk slices—created a cozy atmosphere that was paired with a homemade menu. "The food was really special," Karley says of the meal options she and her family prepared just days before the wedding. Throughout the day, the newlyweds were encircled by natural beauty, embraced by their families and "blessed—well, that was everywhere," Karley says. —Samantha Meux
