Sammy and Ryan’s Dreamy Spring Wedding

An endless blue sky embellished with cotton candy clouds converged with the lush green countryside as Sammy and Ryan’s big day unfolded. The idyllic setting of 22 Acres Farm set the stage for a dreamy spring wedding on a perfect May day. As the couple exchanged their vows, a light breeze as warm, sweet, and steadfast as their love whispered its own promises of forever.

How They Met

Sammy and Ryan’s love story began in 2015. Sammy was attending college at the University of Cincinnati, while Ryan was training at a nearby police academy. They stayed in touch over the next few years and went on their first date in 2019 after Sammy moved to Columbus, OH, where Ryan was living at the time. Their connection only grew stronger, leading them to their wedding day on that beautiful spring day.

The Proposal

Despite the ongoing construction, Ryan chose the front steps of their home to propose to Sammy. Their faithful dog, Cali, was there to witness the touching gesture. Immediately after, the couple enjoyed a surprise engagement party arranged by Ryan, where they celebrated their happy news with friends and family.

Love Blooming Like Spring Flowers

Befitting the lovely springtime setting, the entire affair was adorned with a colorful array of flowers in delicate tones. Stunning arrangements in soft peach, periwinkle blue, blushing pink, and pale yellow greeted guests at every turn. One of the most breathtaking examples of this artistry was the arrangement that graced the wooden arch on loan from our Something Borrowed Room.

The Big Moment—A Truly Dreamy Spring Wedding

Sammy and Ryan immediately fell in love with 22 Acres Farm’s picturesque grounds and rustic barn. They knew this was the perfect place to celebrate the biggest moment of their lives with their loved ones. “We are so excited to be with all of our favorite people at one time,” they shared while planning with us.

The couple chose 22 Acres Farm because they loved the “rustic feel of the barn mixed with the natural surroundings.” As Sammy and Ryan exchanged their vows, the field and its charming fence provided a stunning backdrop for their nuptials, which were expertly captured by their photographer. The resulting photographs perfectly captured the couple’s love for each other on their wedding day.

Portraits to Capture the Essence of the Happy Day

During the cocktail hour, guests enjoyed drinks from a local mobile bar service. Meanwhile, the couple and their wedding party took portraits in various locations on the farm. The stunning scenery and ideal lighting resulted in some breathtaking shots that the couple will treasure forever.

An Elegant Barn Reception

When it was time to celebrate, the newlyweds were joyfully welcomed to the barn, where the reception was to be held. Elegant linens graced each table, complemented by beautiful florals, candles, and gold-toned place settings. Guests savored the delicious cuisine skillfully prepared by the catering team. The abundance of natural lighting that saturated the upper floor of the barn perfectly complimented the couple’s uplifting, airy springtime theme.

A Festive Conclusion to the Day

As the day drew to a close, the couple and their guests enjoyed an evening of celebration and dancing. Guests gleefully waved light sticks as they moved to the music provided by the DJ, making for a lively and joyful end to a perfect day.
