Two country lovers got hitched! Today we’re sharing a rustic green white and black wedding in Innisfail, Alberta with loads of modern details. Captured by Kelsy Nielson Photography, you’ll love the sweet ‘stache’ stationery at the reception, the bold design for the backdrop and the vintage auto junkyard which made for some pretty awesome photos.
What was your favorite moment from your wedding day?
As we were announced husband and wife, and we turned to look at our family and friends. The song “Good Life” was playing in the background as we walked down the aisle, and I could just feel the love and happiness radiating from everyone. I was smiling like a fool and crying the whole time.
Another one was When my Dad gave me away, Curtis took my hands and whispered, “I blew out my pants”. I thought he was joking, and trying to get me to stop crying. I found out after the ceremony that his suit had been ripped from crotch to knee when he bent down to pick up his niece, our flower girl, as she got to the end of the aisle. You can see the draping pant leg in a couple of the photos, haha.
What was your inspiration behind your overall wedding decor and colour choices?
Curtis and I are both country kids, and wanted to keep the theme simple with a country feel, which is why we chose white as one of our colors. We also love the outdoors, and felt that green was a fresh, outdoors-y color. It’s also my absolute favorite color, so I think Curtis just assumed it would be part of our decor.
Do you have any advice for other brides-to-be?
DELEGATE!!! I had several family members and friends ask if there was anything that they could do to help out the day of, so I assigned everyone with tasks. It was so nice that I didn’t have to worry about anything the day of, because everything was taken care of.

Fabulous! Love the fresh, outdoor green setting for the wedding! That candy bar is so cool!
Melanie on July 10, 2012LOVE rustic weddings, these textures and colours are flippin’ cool :) Great work!
Barrie Wedding Photographer on July 11, 2012I love when people pick a theme and play it out so well throughout the wedding. I am not a big fan of the color green in anything let alone a wedding but I have to admit this bride changed my mind. I love the color scheme and the candy bar is super cute. I see lots of country weddings so it is really nice to see some new ideas and/or venues. The wedding seemed simple, yet elegant and I love the shots of the bridal party in the vintage auto junkyard. The bride really looked stunning and even though the groom had a little “accident” he still looked very handsome. I completely agree with the brides’ advice DELEGATE! I even wrote a blog on how to delegate and relieve some of the stress of your wedding day.
All in all beautiful shots, beautiful wedding and a beautiful couple. Kudos to the vendors and of course WeddingObsession for the post.
