Megan and Mike both love to cook, so Megan’s dad made a spice rub called “spicy love” for guests to take home.

Out-of-town guests got fun welcome bags filled with local goodies and ideas for things to do in the city.

The couple danced to “That’s How Strong My Love Is” by Otis Redding.

Megan’s aunts made desserts from their own recipe books to add to the couple’s display.

Mixed arrangements of peach, white and orange flowers rested beside small pumpkins and votives on birch risers.

Megan and Mike’s reception chairs were decorated with fun “Mr.” and “Mrs.” signs.

Natural burlap and mossy-green-colored linens topped the tables so as not to take away from the already beautiful rustic décor.

White draping on the floor-to-ceiling windows softened the wedding’s dusk light.

Guests left their best wishes and advice for the couple on a table decorated with an old typewriter.

Megan’s cousins served as flower girls and wore white tulle dresses with peach flower pins.

All of the bridesmaids wore deep-mauve-colored dresses in their chosen style.

The girls carried textured bunches of garden roses, billy balls, ranunculus, berries and hydrangeas.

Mike proposed with this solitaire diamond ring that has a pavé diamond band.

Megan wore a romantic French-quartered lace gown with a lace-and-tulle veil. Mike chose a dark-gray suit and a simple striped tie.

Megan carried a romantic bunch of white, peach and orange ranunculus, garden roses and succulents.
