Jaye and Robert first met during architecture class in high school, but it was well after graduation when they began dating in 2009 after reconnecting on Facebook. “Rob would always draw graffiti letters and I cheekily would bother him to teach me to draw my name all fancy,” Jaye reminisced. It didn’t take long for Jaye to realize Robert was the one and even had a feeling a proposal was coming but was surprised when he proposed on Christmas morning in 2017.

Falling in Love: Jaye and Robert love fall, so it was a no-brainer to use the coziest season of the year as the muse for their backyard wedding using hues of mauve, mustard, and olive green. Danielle of Magnolia West Events even incorporated unique aspects of the couple’s relationship, including flannel (Jaye’s favorite!) and deer antlers that Robert and his dad acquired from hunting trips.

Get Cozy: Following the ceremony, guests made their way to the outside tent for a celebration under the stars. Greenery-embellished chandeliers and suspended lights served as a focal point, while romantic lighting continued on the farmhousestyle tables adorned with seeded eucalyptus, pumpkins, and gold silverware. The yard also served as a laid-back lounge area with ottomans placed throughout with textured pillows and fleece throw blankets.

Table for Two: The newlyweds sat at one of the prettiest sweetheart tables complete with a settee chair, various gold votive candles, lanterns, pumpkins, and fall foliage.

On the Menu: Guests dined al fresco and enjoyed Italian cuisine including eggplant rollatini, chicken francaise, and penne vodka. And what’s a celebration without capping off the night on a sweet note?! The three-tier vanilla funfetti wedding cake had buttercream filling and frosting.

The Future: Jaye and Robert are excited to make memories as a couple and look forward to adding another fur baby to their family in the future.
