FALL for this autumn wedding with a Nordic ceremony, axe-throwing, and camping
Jessie and Adam’s fall wedding had lots of traditions and symbolism in the Nordic ceremony. The pair and their wedding party carried logs with rune symbols which were burned ceremonially.

The night ended with celebrating, ax-throwing, and camping, and we can’t get enough. Just wait until you see the bride’s surprise colored dress underlay, the pumpkin details, and the sheet music and burlap non-floral bouquet.
