Sarah Katherine Finch & Nathanial Ray Dilts

|| October 10, 2020 ||

Nate and Sarah’s wedding was on a very rainy day in middle Tennessee. Their initial hope was to have a simple backyard wedding with plans for a reception inside the Dilts family home but with a hurricane suddenly in the forecast, (thanks, 2020), they chose to have both the ceremony and reception indoors. One of the highlights of the wedding for Nate and Sarah was to see how their different tastes for art and design came together and their creative ways of working with the curveballs that this year’s events threw their way. Thanks to their mutual love for nature and DIY, Nate’s eye for design and Sarah’s love of natural textures and color all came together beautifully for their boho-chic wedding. Arguably the most captivating part of the venue were the hundreds of string lights cascading down from the ceiling that Nate spent hours hanging prior to the wedding. Nate’s dad created a rustic arbor where a beautiful sprawling arrangement of flowers hung. Around seventy five family members and close friends joined the Dilts’ at their wedding while many more joined in through a Facebook live feed. In proper 2020 fashion, masks as well as personalized hand sanitizer bottles were given as favors to guests. The wedding dress was a stunning Martina Liana dress with a long lace train and beautiful beaded details. The bridesmaids all wore long black dresses of their choice and carried bouquets hand arranged by Sarah and the family just a couple of days earlier. The groomsmen wore grey suits of their choice and wore mix-matched floral bowties from Birch Craft and Co. with light pink pocket squares. The ceremony was sweet and simple, and emphasized Nate and Sarah’s pledge to not only honor their commitment to one another but also to God. At the end of the ceremony, the string trio played This Will Be An Everlasting Love as Nate and Sarah walked together down the aisle (one of Sarah’s favorite little details that commemorated how they met...on e-harmony!). The reception featured fresh, fall-themed food and was filled with dancing, toasts, and catching up with friends and family. At the end of the night, the guests gave a sparkler send-off for the new Mr. and Mrs. Dilts!
