Rustic-Bohemain Wedding in the Redwood Forest: Ashley + Cheyne

We're not sure there is a prettier place to exchange your vows than the middle of a forest of redwoods. Case in point: Ashley + Cheyne's rustic-bohemian Armstrong National Forest wedding, which seriously couldn't have been any more gorgeous! With top notch wardrobe styling, charming woodland design elements, and an overall fun + laid back feel, this is one of those weddings that you just know was not only visually stunning, but was a true reflection of the two people it celebrated! Here's a bit more about it all from the bride:
We really wanted our friends and family most of which were traveling to attend to just have an amazing time and feel like a little mini getaway for them. Our wedding was a 3 day event with hiking and wine tasting included. Our biggest inspiration when planning was just nature's beauty, moss and wood were key for us. A bohemian feel with natural elements. We just really wanted our personalities to be reflected through our wedding. And most of our wedding was put together or made by us with help from friends and family.Thanks so much to Alixann Photography for these super gorge photos of Ashley + Cheyne's day and big congrats to the newlyweds!
Ok, could Ashley have looked any more beautiful? Her Maggie Sottero gown + headband were absolutely made for her!
And major love for Cheyne's rad boutonniere! A family friend used a mini slab of wood, eucalyptus and lavender to create that guy! So unique + fun.
From the first time visiting the Armstrong woods together, we couldn't envision getting married anywhere else. Just the natural beauty and history is so amazing we wanted all of our friends and family to be able to experience that beauty as well. 
Quite possibly the cutest flower girls ever! And the sweet BHLDN banner they carried was just so fitting!
Ashley, Cheyne, and their whole bridal party looked pretty killer, right?! If you love their looks - and the awesome woodland decor from this gorge celebration - you can shop their day below. We were able to snag some of the real items used, as well as some very similar finds for you! :)
