Brad with Leanne, in Vera Wang. "I was sure I'd wear vintage, but [this dress] fit like a glove."
Between their Southern-style BBQ dinner and guests dressed in festive red, white, and blue, Leanne and Brad brought a modern vision of classic Americana to life with their midsummer wedding.
Homemade posters, screen printed by the bride and groom, made up the invites.
The bride wore a locket that held family wedding photos.
The bride slipped a lace ribbon off a wedding gift to tie her delicate posy of Queen Anne's lace.
With the help of Leanne's brother, Brad constructed a low wooden stage on which he set up an old Army tent.
Lively tunes greeted arriving guests.
Clusters of hydrangeas in milk-glass vases provide a crisp, neutral accent to Leanne's collection of Depression-era glassware.
Brad's 8-year-old cousin looks camera-ready in front of a flag draped between trees.
A '53 Chevy pickup is loaded with beer, including one variety brewed by the groom and a friend.
The property included rustic cabins and a lake.
Partygoers wore festive red, white, and blue attire.
Luminarias (paper bags holding lit candles set in sand) created a glowing path.
