A Romantic and Cozy Summer Camp Wedding in the Fall
A summer camp wedding, but in the fall? An unexpected setting proves to be the perfect venue for a romantic and cozy autumn wedding, complete with a smores station. And despite the temperature drop outside, the indoor ceremony and reception space create a warm and inviting place for all. Taking inspiration from the surroundings, the ceremony and reception space is decorated with dramatic muted florals and greenery that complement the hall’s wood-panel walls and green floor. Meanwhile, candlelight mimics the warm glow of a campfire.
Outside, a forest of oak trees with their leaves in shades of orange and yellow. The rustling of the leaves in the wind. The crunch of the leaves under the bride and groom’s feet as they wander Shady Oaks Camp in Homer Glen, Illinois, taking photos.
For this styled wedding shoot, the bride wears a long-sleeve ballgown wedding dress. Intricately beaded and embroidered motifs adorn the gown’s neckline, keyhole back, and sleeves. Her hair is pulled into a low bun and accessorized with a hair chain that mirrors the golden beauty of nature in the fall.
