Katelyn & Michael’s Romantic Journey

Katelyn and Michael’s story began long before their spring wedding day. Growing up just down the street from each other in New Jersey, their paths didn’t cross romantically until after college. Both being outdoor enthusiasts, they soon started traveling together, hiking in Colorado, exploring Acadia National Park, and adventuring through the Highlands of Scotland and the fjords of Norway. Michael’s love for pushing boundaries introduced Katelyn to new experiences, despite not having flown until she was 22, Katelyn has since been making up for lost time with their many travels. Their engagement was equally adventurous, taking place on a sunset boat tour in St. Lucia in January 2023. Michael, with the help of newfound friends, captured the moment beautifully.

A Morning of Excitement at the Inn at Barley Sheaf 

The morning of Katelyn & Michael’s dreamy spring wedding at The Inn at Barley Sheaf was filled with excitement as Katelyn and her bridesmaids got ready in the elegant and cozy bridal suite. Katelyn looked absolutely radiant in her Alena Leena wedding dress, an elegant off-the-shoulder gown. The dress featured delicate detailing and a long, flowing train that added a touch of timeless romance. Her soft curls cascaded gently over her shoulders, and a simple yet stunning veil from TailoredTulle completed the look. The combination of her attire and the idyllic surroundings of The Inn at Barley Sheaf made her look like she had stepped straight out of a Jane Austin novel. The bridesmaids added a unique touch to the color palette of the spring wedding day, as they wore elegant dresses, from Show Me Your Mumu, in sage green, champagne, and dusty blue.

A Picturesque Outdoor Spring Wedding Ceremony 

The Inn at Barley Sheaf, with its historical charm dating back to the 1700s, makes you feel as if you have been transported to the English countryside. The perfect backdrop for their ceremony which took place under two majestic trees, with a floral arch that made it feel like a spring meadow. The floral arrangements from Bloom Flower Co. featured delicate white and blue flowers, perfectly complementing the natural surroundings. The string performance, by Miss Musique, of “In My Life” by The Beatles as Katelyn walked down the aisle was especially emotional, as it was her parents’ wedding song almost forty years prior.

Rustic Charm & Elegant Decor

The Inn at Barley Sheaf rustic charm and beautiful gardens provided an idyllic setting, with candles and Bloom Flower Co.’s floral centerpieces adding a touch of romance to the evening. The decor mirrored the bridesmaid’s color palette: a sophisticated blend of sage green, neutrals, and dusty blue, with touches of gold adding a hint of glamor. 

A Lively Wedding Reception

The reception was a lively celebration with heartfelt toasts, dancing, and laughter echoing throughout the venue. Katelyn and Michael’s love for each other was palpable throughout the day. Their smiles and laughter created an atmosphere of joy and celebration, making their spring wedding a perfect reflection of their personalities—elegant, charming, and full of love.

Katelyn and Michael’s dreamy spring wedding at The Inn at Barley Sheaf was truly a beautiful and memorable event, filled with love, laughter, and the perfect spring blooms.
