Ceremony Exit Ribbons
Wicker balls, decorated with orange flowers, hung from the aisle chairs.
Meghan accessorized with a pearl necklace that had a hanging pearl cluster and an aqua pendant.
As a nod to Meghan’s love of all things French (and the couple’s honeymoon spot), the tables were topped with mini Eiffel Tower replicas.
The bridesmaids wore '50s-style dresses with petticoats peeking out from beneath their skirts.
Airport Wedding Reception
The ceremony took place right outside the Hart One-Room School House.
Everyone left with a bottle of Erik’s mom’s Catalina salad dressing, which she bottled and labeled herself.
White piping and frosting decorated the cake, while orange flowers shaped into an L served as the topper.
Guests waved ribbon wands (an easy DIY project) as Meghan and Erik hopped in Erik’s grandfather’s 1924 Ford Model T to drive to the reception, a mile away.
Aqua shoe clips added color and character to Meghan’s orange pumps.
The trifold booklets had ceremony details and a photo from the couple’s engagement shoot.
