The outdoor wedding ceremony took place by a backdrop of vintage tablecloths and under a chandelier made of flowers, candles and vintage bottles.
Framed chalkboards were put on display to help guests find their way through the space -- and the food!
The couple served four signature cocktails reminiscent of olden times -- Moscow Mules, Pimm’s Cups, French 75s and Mint Juleps.
Daniel's rustic boutonniere was made with the same types of flowers as Katy's bouquet including pussy willow, dusty miller and a single fiddlehead fern.
Fun photos from the couple’s engagement shoot were bound into a book for guests to sign.
Clusters of white hydrangea were displayed in antique food tins.
Katy and Daniel opted for long, banquet tables -- and didn't assign seats -- to get guests mingling. Warm lighting seeped through the hall's stained glass windows.
Each place at the open-seated reception was set with a fruitwood charger, mismatched napkins and a menu card designed to match the rest of the stationery.
Each paper element was decorated with a vintage bicycle logo.
Katy carried an eclectic mix of pussy willows, lisianthus, fiddlehead ferns, dusty miller and cherry blossoms.
The four signature drinks were served in mason jars. The charming containers appeared in centerpieces and in other decorative elements throughout the day, as well.
Katy searched high and low for a true vintage dress that would fit their wedding theme. She found the perfect dress (from 1915!) and paired it with her grandma's cameo brooch.
Before the ceremony, the couple joined guests at the self-serve prosecco bar (with fruit purées like blood orange and raspberry).
Vintage furniture was put on display to add to the day’s décor.
