This Couple’s Woodland Wedding Is a Down-to-Earth Dream

When it comes to *your* big day, you want to pick a theme that works for both of you. Leah and Rob’s modern woodland wedding did just that — with tons of outdoorsy details like deer cake toppers and antlers galore. And by using the forest as a natural backdrop, they were able to totally nail the woodland theme without having to go too crazy with the decor. Scroll on for all the gorgeous pics!

Can a wedding get any more whimsical than puffs of colorful smoke swirling around the lovebirds? We think not.

The bride kept her look on-theme by going totally woodland princess with a flower crown and long flowing locks. She completed the look with a lush bouquet of fern, berries, neutral florals, and the best part — an antler handle!

It’s the tiny details, like these shell-casing boutonnieres, that put the couple’s unique touch on the typical forest-friendly nuptial decor.

For a picture-perfect first look, the couple met on a trail overflowing with gorg greenery.

The bridesmaids wore flowing, pastel-colored dresses to match the bride’s bouquet and blend with the breezy scenery. Their look was topped off with smaller versions of those must-have boho-chic floral crowns.

The setting was made intimate and oh-so-romantic thanks to subtle, rustic decor pieces and splashes of bright white.

The groomsmen donned charcoal gray suits on the big day to flawlessly pair with the uber-mellow feel of the bridesmaid dresses. Hello, minimalist magic.

Just in case you missed it the first time — these drool-worthy swirls of colorful smoke are what fairy-tale dreams are made of.

Unique, rustic, minimalist, and *soo* adorbs are the only ways to describe this antler sweetheart table backdrop.

The white chairs and pops of pink florals totally brought the chic factor to this earthy reception — proving how lovely mixing different decor styles can be.

How could anyone resist fawning over this scrumptious wonder? Of course, the tree-inspired cake wouldn’t be complete without the couple’s initials etched into it like true sweethearts.
