Kristen and Blake chose a vintage, secret garden theme with flowers inspired by traditional English gardens. A color palette of slate gray, plum and blush tied all the details together.

The adorable paper fox cake topper was displayed on top of a small wood slab with Kristen and Blake's initials etched into it. I love foxes, so the topper was a way to personalize the cake a little bit, says Kristen.
In keeping with the secret garden theme, Kristen tied a small antique key with a plum ribbon to all of the blush-colored escort cards.
The church was minimally decorated so that the natural beauty of the church wouldn't be overwhelmed.
Blush pink heels with tulle rosebuds on the front added to the vintage, ethereal bridal style.
Kristen's ivory A-line gown had a lace overlay, complementing the vintage feel she wanted for her wedding.
Kristen told her bridesmaids that as long as their dresses were either gray or blush, they could wear whatever style they wished, allowing each bridesmaid's unique sense of style to shine through.
Pale gray linens and a variety of lanterns and pink and white centerpieces topped the tables at the reception. The overall look echoed our secret garden theme, and when I first walked into the room it truly took my breath away, says Kristen.
Following the ceremony, everyone blew bubbles as the newlyweds made their escape to the reception.
Lush pink roses were the focal point of Kristen's hand-tied bouquet.
The ivory programs had an elegant damask design printed in aubergine ink.
Kristen made the table numbers, which were moss covered picture frames with a different lace, flower or key decoration on them.
A small, antique key was tied to the groom's pink rose boutonniere.
The bridesmaid bouquets were very similar to the bridal bouquet, with a pink roses, hydrangeas and pops of plum from scattered tulips.
