Haley & Evan
4.12.25
Haley and Evan met while working in Colorado and love the outdoors — hiking, biking and skiing together. So when it came time to get married, they knew the perfect spot: Haley’s family farm. “It only felt right to get married where we could celebrate with our family and friends and enjoy nature,” says Haley, who grew up in Charlotte.
The couple encouraged guests to wear boots, while vendors donned jeans and Carhartt-provided overalls. Haley’s dad describes the family farm as “a place where we plant trees and make memories.” When a chilly forecast dictated an enclosed tent, Haley and Evan brought the trees inside. The groom and Haley’s dad cut down trees for the tent’s poles, and floral designer Jay Lugibihl and planner Dina Blazek went to work.
For the reception, Haley’s mom made the bars by hand and named each table after a type of tree grown on the farm. Evan’s family, for example, sat at the Apple Tree table, a nod to his hometown of Fort Wayne, Indiana, and a state where Johnny Appleseed established apple tree nurseries. Baseplates at the head table were also cut from the farm’s trees. Invitations by Addie McElwee — a friend of Haley’s who has spent many nights at the farm — reflected the couple, their families and the special venue.
When it comes to wedding planning, Haley advises: “Pick great vendors, trust them and let them do their thing! We feel so lucky to have had amazing vendors who didn’t just bring our vision to life, but enhanced it. Letting vendors flex their creative muscles and lean on years of experience made our day seamless.”
