Anything else you’d like to share about your wedding?

Loved all of my vendors. Emily Jean Photography and Jenn Robirds Events were the best. We received compliments on the food, the DJ, everything went smoothly because of our vendors.

Any tips you’d give brides and grooms planning their wedding today?

  • Shorten your guest list, be careful with the guest list. Don’t invite neighbors with no guest count limit on it.
  • Don’t go crazy with the catering. We could’ve skimped more on the food.
  • Get a coordinator. That was one of the best decisions we made.
  • Not everyone will eat dessert, so no need to order extra, we had tons of left overs.
  • I would suggest a small bridal party. Ours in my mind was too big, although I loved everyone dearly.

What would you have done differently if you had the chance?

Lessen the guest list, lessen the cost for food, perhaps purchase a cheaper wedding dress. Other than that, we loved everything.

#STYLEDSHOOTSUNDAY // An evening in the garden…jus #STYLEDSHOOTSUNDAY // An evening in the garden…just like Tuscany. 🍅🥖✨
.
Inspired by outdoor dinners in Italy filled with fresh, organic food, laughter and long conversations, this European summer–inspired styled shoot at Gold Hill Gardens captures the magic of gathering around the table with the people you love most.
.
Planner and designer Ramona of Simple Country Weddings shares, “When I visited Tuscany, we would have large dinners outdoors in the gardens and the food was so fresh and organic—the vibe was laughter, stories, great food and drink. It really inspired the vision for this shoot.”
.
Think sun-warmed tomatoes, artisan bread, olive oil, romantic garden tablescapes and golden-hour portraits beneath the trees—creating a wedding inspiration that feels both effortlessly elegant and deeply inviting.
.
✨ See more from this beautiful shoot on the blog now at RealWeddingsMag.com (link in bio).
