If the film trailer of Jordan and Steven's gorgeous rustic wedding stole your heart (as it did mine), then you are in for a treat! Here is that day captured beautifully through the lens of JW Baugh Photography. The ladies at A Style Collective did an amazing job styling this gorgeous wedding at Amber Springs in Montgomery, Texas. Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Rhoads!
For the ceremony backdrop, we had a wall constructed with two antique stained-glass windows mounted in it, and a wrought iron cross hung in the middle. We wanted to have an outdoor ceremony, but also wanted it to feel like we were getting married in an old white-washed church. One of my best friends from childhood is a pastor in the Woodlands, so it was very special to have him be our officiant.

After our engagement, we started scouring antique stores around Texas for blue mason jars, lace doilies, crocheted table cloths, brooches, and a variety of vintage knick-knacks. We stopped in nearly every antique mall or vintage store that we passed, so to me it felt like a treasure hunt! I knew that I wanted a mixture of lace, rustic wood and sparkle for the décor, so we started putting together our vision to bring all of those elements and textures together. We decided on a palette of Tiffany blue, cream, burlap, and natural wood as our inspiration. My wonderful mother, Lynn, was instrumental during this process, as she began crafting up a storm, creating craft paper flowers to display behind our cake table, putting together my brooch bouquet, helping to piece together chandeliers that would be hung in our venue, and making every guest’s place card.

We purchased 10 old doors to use as backdrops during the reception, and had one Tiffany blue door converted to our cake table. My brooch bouquet was a mixture of family heirlooms and antique-store finds, and each of my bridesmaids carried a vintage brooch on their bouquet. I also carried tiny photos of each of our grandparents who had passed away on my bouquet, so they could be with us and watch over us as we were joined in marriage. Our “guest book” was actually a wooden bench that we had made, and plan to use in our new home, along with most of the other things that we collected for our special day. -Jordan
