Harmony Ridge Lodge Wedding | Krysten & Thomas

Third time’s the charm, at least for Krysten and Thomas! You see, these two actually were married a few years ago, but they both wanted something a little more special than a visit with the judge after his lunch break! So last month they said their vows in a Catholic ceremony and again last Saturday before all their friends and family at Harmony Ridge Lodge! Can’t get more official than that!

With guests coming as far away as England and all of the amazing decorations that Krysten created, it was the perfect tea party garden atmosphere, complete with British accents! Krysten and Thomas wanted to make it a fun day for everyone, so they had fun surprises throughout the evening! Starting with kazoos for the guests to celebrate their kiss, to tossing pom-poms into the air in a group picture, to…well see for yourself below! It was the perfect day, and I’m so lucky to have been a part of their special celebration!

Krysten chose this beautiful dress by Leanne Marshall, of Project Runway fame, who’s hometown of Yuba City is just down the hill from Grass Valley!
