Exciting news! Abby & Blake Baldwin are married! The happy couple tied the knot in Eureka Springs, Arkansas on July 10th, 2010 in the natural setting of the Thorncrown Chapel.
• Sisters Emily and Abby pose with their mother Kristy for a family portrait before the ceremony.
• Abby’s antique garden rose bouquet, by Bree Howard Daniel of Ft. Smith, Arkansas, reflects the elegance of Abby’s gown.
• Nestled in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, Thorncrown Chapel offers privacy, serenity, and stunning views from every angle. With a slate path, pine and oak trees, and lush pockets of moss covered boulders, the natural setting combines a magical woodland atmosphere with the natural mountain landscape.
• The bridal party of the groom’s sister, the bride’s best friend from college, and the bride’s sister spend the wedding day pampering the bride and preparing for the wedding.
• The wedding program, designed by Timeless Paper, is a touching keepsake of the remarkable ceremony. Stationer Timeless Paper, founded by the bride’s sister, created all of the paper elements for the wedding, from the save-the-dates to the butterfly Manzanita branch decor at the reception.
• Beaver Lake is the perfect backdrop for Abby’s bridal photos.
• Blake and Abby leave the chapel to revel in their newlywed status with family and friends.
• The wedding party waltzes down the aisle to Michael Arrison, the bride’s brother-in-law, playing show tunes and classical pieces on the piano that remind the couple of their youth.
• The groom’s best friends gather after the ceremony to celebrate Blake and Abby.
• The bride and bridesmaids enjoy the view of Beaver Lake from a rustic cabin while preparing for the wedding day.
• The bridesmaids carry bouquets of deep purple hydrangeas down the aisle while wearing black strapless gowns and pearl necklaces.
• The bride’s cousin, who serves as the flower girl, carries a rustic basket of rose petals and blooms.
