A Rustic Woodland Wedding at the Minnesota Harvest Apple Orchard in Jordan, Minnesota

Emma Rieck (31 and a registered nurse) and Nicholas (Nick) Sacco (32 and an environmental educator) contrasted their woodsy venue with a timeless black-and-white color scheme and punchy prints that ranged from plaid to polka dots.

“I really wanted something nontraditional,” Emma says of her strapless, polka dot dress. The one-of-a-kind creation came together after Emma spotted a black lace crop top and trumpet-style skirt while dress shopping. “I lucked out with a little bit of creativity and a wonderful seamstress,” she says.
