SHAYLA + ETHAN | LITTLE PINEY LODGE IN HERMANN, MO

Shayla and Ethan’s rustic summer wedding at Little Piney Lodge in Hermann, MO was the perfect reflection of their relationship: relaxed and incredibly fun! Throughout the whole day, they continued to roll with the curveballs thrown by the Missouri summer weather, rearranging their reception to avoid the rain but embracing it with umbrellas for bridal party photos. Luckily, Little Piney has gorgeous location options, both indoors and out, and worked quickly to make things perfect for this sweet couple in spite of the downpour! Shayla and Ethan exchanged handwritten vows in a gorgeous, wooded clearing under a trellis built by Ethan and Andrew, Shayla’s brother and “man of honor.” There wasn’t a dry eye in the house! After making things official, everybody headed inside for cookies, cocktails, and dancing! It was the perfect night to celebrate a marriage that was years in the making for these high school sweethearts!

Congratulations, Shayla and Ethan!

SS Wedding Designs created the perfect bouquet for this plant-loving bride! Can you even believe how gorgeous those succulents are? I sure couldn’t!

Shayla’s brother, Andrew, served as her “man of honor” and insisted on holding a bouquet for photos – too funny!

The owners and their son shuttled guests and the wedding party around with golf carts to make things easier! Is that not the sweetest?

Shayla and her brother gifted this statue to their Sasquatch-loving father, who ended up sneaking it all the way to Hermann as a “surprise wedding guest!”
