Mylien and Nick wanted their wedding to embody the colors of fall and they couldn't have done a better job! The rusty oranges and reds look so dreamy mixed in with the softer cream accents. Love it! To see more from their lovely wedding, check out the slideshow here.
And now for a little insight on the day from the bride herself ...
Personal touches ... :
Both Nick and I made so many things for our wedding ... Branch centerpieces, hanging lighted columns, and [a] fall leaf chandelier. Both Nick and I made all the decor decisions to bring the room together. Also, our main color was orange and "Orange" is one of the many nicknames I have for Nick.
Favorite moment ... :
The vows. I couldn't wait to share my journal entry with him and finally commit our lives to one another.
Advice to fellow brides ... :
Don't procrastinate and plan ahead, RELAX, let it go and enjoy the actual wedding day, and lastly, make decisions in advance! I had a hard time making decisions and sticking to them which led to the worst case of procrastination with everything flooding in on the last few days.

Mmmm ... loving this French chateau for an afternoon wedding that lingers on till dawn. ... Wish I could attend Elizabeth Messina's A Lovely Workshop here, as well! Can you imagine learning photography tips from the best all while eating and sleeping in such a gorgeous locale?! Dream come true.
This house was located a few blocks away from mine when I was in elementary school and I always loved how enchanting it seemed ... the natural and lush foliage ... the fairytale turret ... even the stacked stone mailbox exudes natural charm. I don't know what the backyard holds but I'd love to imagine an intimate wedding on a stone terrace surrounded by woodlands.
