There’s no better day to make a statement than your big day. Your wedding day is not only your declaration of love for your soon-to-be spouse, but also a chance to put your personality and style on display.

Justine and Mike's wedding (photographed by the talented Blake Loates) is an artistic expression of their love, individuality, and unique tastes.

The couple combines earthy, natural selections with vintage, sophisticated pieces: lace and pearls with greenery and twigs in the bouquet, a classic suit and vest complete with a boutonniere that's mounted on bacon. It's bold, and beautiful.

Their tie of choice, the Harvey wooden bow tie, was the perfect compliment to the groom's attire: It brought in the green from the boutonniere, the blue from the shirt, and the rustic brown and wood tones found throughout their wedding day.

We love everything about this wedding: the distinct wedding attire, the beautiful colors incorporated throughout, and the fact that they featured a scythe in their photos. Justine and Mike, we applaud your ability to declare your style in every aspect of this special day.
