Colorful & Easy Going Wedding at Hoyt Arboretum

Last Updated: March 11th, 2021/8 CommentsTopic: REAL WEDDINGSby Meredith

Are you all ready for a super fun, colorful wedding? Gretchen and Darby had what looks like the most fun wedding in the history of weddings! They had a colorful palette (the bride’s dress had rainbow tulle) and they used paint swatches for seating charts. Not to mention their super laid-back ceremony seating: lawn chairs! We are LOVING everything about this wedding at Hoyt Arboretum.

Ben Blood did a perfect job capturing this couples day.
