Elegant Farm Wedding
The wonderfully talented Tec Petaja, recently sent in the beautiful wedding below and I’ve been waiting anxiously for the perfect time to share it with you. I don’t have very much information on their wedding, but what I do know is I absolutely love the elegant yet understated details incorporated throughout like burlap hanging over chiavari chairs, lovely white hydrangeas, and beautiful calligraphy gracing the tabletops….swoon! Plus, how can you resist a wedding with such a charming location and gorgeous couple?

I love Tec’s work!!! And the bride and groom are too-cool-for-school. They look like they just woke up that morning and were like, “oh, yeah, we’re gonna get married today and stuff,” threw on their awesome suit and dress (“what? this old thing? it’s just something i had.”) and showed up at the party. i LOVE low-maintenance, relaxed weddings!!! way rad.
you say it perfectly, it’s the elegent yet understated details that make this so beautiful. i love the rug in the field, and the animals too. it’s perfect*
one of the prettier weddings i’ve seen in a while! it’s the perfect balance of casual beauty and effortless cool.
Great photos. The funny thing is that I just saw this couple in Palm Springs while I was staying at the ACE. They were staying there too.
Wow I love the simplicity also.
Just Gorgeous! And what a gorgeous couple.
The alpacas in the background make it authentic farm~style. My sister and her hubby have an alpaca farm in Maine. I’ll have to send her a link to this post.
Blessings,
Molly
simply gorgeous.
As always, Tec does an amazing job!
beautiful images!!!
WOW! Nate is such a great drummer and he and his new wife look AMAZING on their wedding day. Way to make their beauty shine even more, Tec!
I won’t deny that this is a beautiful wedding, but these are supposed to be real weddings. Celebrity weddings belong in the magazines.
it looks like dude from KOL because it is. and he certainly does have a bride to match. you can just tell from the pics that everyone had a wonderful, fun time. excellent!
Just gorgeous! Love the simplicity of it all and both of them rock the great hair =)
That is the drummer from KOL! Kinda surprising they had such a soft, romantic wedding!
Crazy awesome wedding. Beautiful people, sunshine and wide open spaces, a fire pit, lamas – what more could you need!?
Tec is amazing. I went to his website and loved all his work!
My friend Thad Cockrell actually officiated their wedding! He’s in that photo up there! He’s an awesome musician and close friends of there’s!
It looks like it was beautiful!
It’s funny, everyone is recognizing the groom but I actually recognized the bride! This wedding is gorgeous.
Any idea on the dress? Love it!
hey lauren
im pretty sure it is by nicole miller. i think we have a few listing in our used wedding dress section.

You know, I’m pretty sure that it is a Nichole Miller dress. I’ve came across this one a lot when I was looking for my dress. It’s the one with a gold band at the bottom, although it’s hard to see. That should make it easier to find!
This has to be my favorite wedding I have seen lately. Just perfect!
the bride’s hair is gorgeous! It’s a great compromise between wearing it up and down…you still see the length but it is swept away to show off the back of the gown and out of the way….great inspiration!
Tec Petaja does it again. Great stuff.
so hip it hurts.

Love the blog, keep up the great work!
Can you tell me who makes the frames hanging on the wall? They have a rustic wood look to them; I’m searching for something just like it for my wedding.
thanks!

Any information on who provided the music for the reception?
Anyone know where this wedding was located? Amazing.
Here is some detail from the wedding found on the web…
The ceremony took place at Brentwood’s Wolf Den Farm at 5 p.m., with dinner (catered by Nashville restaurant Miel) and dancing following in a barn on the property, the band’s spokesman tells PEOPLE. The couple’s first dance was to an instrumental Hawaiian lap steel guitar tune.
This is a cute wedding and the groom is rocker and the bride is gorgeous. Love the alpacas too. This couldn’t be this year because it’s cold up there.
Perfect lighting and a stunning bride!
Kelly – the DJ was Geezus, a Nashville (by way of Brooklyn) DJ – 615 400-0285
That’s my boy Tec! He always does an amazing job! Glad to see him published. . . . . . again.
what does it say on the chalkboard below their names?
GORGEOUS.
The dress is Nicole Miller. I wore it for my wedding and I have to say it is soooo comfortable. Stretchy. No alterations required.
OH no way! My husband and I are HUGE KOL fans. I’m going to love watching him see this post and swoon, swoon, swoon. And I love that the groom wore his hair down too.
And I am on APW on March 1 wearing it if you want to see a non-rockstar’s wife in it…
When I first read the headline, I was wondering how a farm style wedding would be done. After viewing these pictures, I can see why people would opt for such a wedding. It turned out beautiful! Very romantic, simple and warm.
Kelly – the music was a nashville dj – Geezus
I do love KOL, but his bride… Jessie Baylin is amaaaazingly talentend in her own right. You all should check her out. I met her at one of her shows in Nashville and she is the sweetest little thing. I am so happy that you all shared their wedding pics with us. They are beautiful! Much inspiration for my rustic outdoor wedding in October! :)
Gorgeous bride…perfect farm wedding.
Absolutely love this too! I have an alpaca farm and am considering marrying again. Love these ideas! J’adore!
That black and white film photo is to die for. It looks 100 years old!

Dude totally looks like one of the Kings of Leon. Love his rocker style. And the bride is a vision, as well. Very impressed they could make burlap look chic. Thanks for sharing!
