A Painted Porch Wedding

by Jessica Tacy March 3, 2022

A Painted Porch Wedding! This was our first wedding that we designed and it was very special because Sherri, our founder, is the mother of the groom.

The couple had an intimate wedding on the island of St. Thomas with family members. They hosted this party when they came back home to Fairmont, WV.

Gorgeous antiqued aqua mantel with a full greenery garland across the top and photographs all along the front. A large beautiful macramé the width of the mantel hanging below. Surrounded by ferns.

The venue is the bride's family farm. The barn is a very large structure with all amenities inside including a beautiful kitchen. In the yard there are large tents covering the guest table area. The aesthetic of this wedding party is minimalist and bohemian with farmhouse elements. It was so much fun creating these beautiful pieces that will be a part of their special day forever. Enjoy these images of their lovely bohemian farmhouse wedding party!

Jack Daniels whiskey barrel with framed sign "Please Sign our Guest Book." Flower arrangement in blue Ball mason jars.

In the welcome area on the porch of the barn stands the Jack Daniel's whiskey barrel. On top of the whiskey barrel is the guest book display. We designed the framed sign that invites guest to leave a message in the guest book. We also created the guest book by laser cutting two pieces of wood for the covers and using small hole punched journal paper with binder rings to hold it all together. There are also some of our flower arrangements using simple greenery and blue Ball mason jars.

The pallet wood wall was one of our featured pieces! It is a freestanding structure - you can see the feet that hold up the wall in the bottom of the image. The gallery wall includes: laser cut "Nick & Mattie" pallet wood sign, "Here comes the Sun" aqua pallet wood sign with binder clip holding a wedding photo, a pink wild rose grapevine wreath, the three tiny signs surrounding the wreath are laser engraved with phrases, "you & me," "June 20, 2021," and "St. Thomas VI;" a piece of barn wood with laser cut "Love," two framed photographs of the bride and groom right after they said their vows, two macramé wall hangers, laser cut sign "love you," laser cut sign "the Trefz family" with floral wreath, painted piece of barn wood "just love," and a multicolored sign that is built out of thin pieces of barn wood that are individually engraved and painted "love is patient, love is kind, love bears all things, it is not arrogant or rude, love does not envy or boast, love never ends, June 20, 2021, Nick & Mattie."
