"My dad is a horticulturalist and the Senior Director of the Grounds at the Creation Museum," says Avery. "He designed the gardens, planted the trees and flowers and placed the rocks for the water falls—it meant so much to us to be married in the middle of the beautiful gardens that he created." The pair hosted an ethereal, boho-chic celebration with a gold, white and blush color palette. Avery complemented her ethereal blush applique. wedding gown with an elaborate bouquet and flower crown for the reception. "Because my dress had the floral detail and we were being married in the middle of a garden, I knew my bouquet needed to be over-the-top," says Avery. "My Aunt Nancy works as a florist and did an absolutely amazing job—my bouquet ended up being so heavy that I couldn't hold it the entire time!" Guest participated in the personal service by each lighting a candle at their seat during the unity candle ceremony before celebrating with an elaborate display of mixed desserts. "For the decorations, I shopped every chance I got-online, at antique malls, and various shops," says Avery. "I also borrowed dishes, tablecloths, mirrors, and picture frames. I loved the unique decorations and have several of them in our house."
