Okay, I have been so excited to share this wedding! Rhiannon and Stephen’s Merrick Hollow wedding was absolutely packed with sweet, personal touches and it was one of those weddings where you could just feel the love and intention behind every single detail! From the moment I arrived, I knew this day was going to be something special. It was colorful, joyful, full of thrifted glassware and handmade touches, and everything about it was so “them” in the best way!
Rhiannon & Stephen’s Love Story
I absolutely love this love story! They met on a dating app because of her bridesmaid (and one of my brides too!) took over her phone and swiped right on Stephen because he listed “forklift certified” in his bio. Emilee thought it was hilarious and obviously, it turned out to be the best swipe ever!
Their wedding date was super meaningful, too. They tied the knot on their dating anniversary and the same day Stephen proposed with a picnic at Woodward Park. So basically, April 28th is now their forever date! I love when couples build those little layers of significance into their day!
Rhiannon & Stephen’s Intentional Merrick Hollow Wedding
There were so many intentional details throughout Rhiannon and Stephen’s day, and honestly, I still can’t stop thinking about them. The day started with such a sweet, slow morning as everyone got ready. Rhiannon spent the morning surrounded by her people, and one of my favorite moments was her first look with her dad! It was the sweetest!
After that, she shared a first look with Stephen under the trees at Merrick Hollow. They chose to exchange private vows during their first look. We stayed back and let them have their moment to themselves. It felt like they had their own little bubble in the middle of the woods, and honestly, that’s exactly how it should be!
From there, we flowed right into their portraits, soaking up all the glowy spring light. Merrick Hollow is seriously one of my favorite venues in Oklahoma. It has the dreamiest tree-lined spots and all the charm. The weather had been threatening rain all week, but it cleared up just in time for their outdoor ceremony.
The Details From Their Merrick Hollow Wedding Day
The details were on another level. Rhiannon and Stephen’s Merrick Hollow wedding was packed with them! Rhiannon’s floral embroidered wedding gown was such a showstopper it totally set the tone for a day full of thoughtful, personal touches. She even had her own houseplant cuttings to use as table decor and favors, which I thought was the sweetest detail ever. The wildflower-inspired florals and bouquets gave the whole day this effortless, springy vibe that felt so true to them.
They incorporated handmade ties, embroidered handkerchiefs, and hand-lettered signage that made everything feel extra personal. They even had thrifted glassware! I loved that each table was filled with unique, vintage pieces (and yes, I happily took home one of the purple mushroom vases and I’m still obsessed with it!). For their ceremony exit, they used redbud petals from their own tree at home, which was such a beautiful, meaningful touch that perfectly tied their love story back to their life together.
