The "valet" circle... I think Erik volunteered his brother to valet guests' cars down the gravel lane on the side of the property to the back field where cars can be parked...
View from the deck looking at the apple trees... A step down and a stroll across the lawn to the ceremony
A view looking from the deck to the left of the two apple trees... I think this is a big enough & flat enough area to put up a tent
A closer look at the apple trees (barn & parking field beyond)... It seems just right the way it is, but we might have to chaunce it up a bit maybe with a fabric backdrop and/or something else strung between the trees
Visions:
Rustic wood pews or chairs arranged in a semi circle, a sprinkling of white rose petals, old wooden boxes stocked with sun parasols and fan programs, a breezy fabric or ribbon backdrop between the trees, maybe a violinist or string quartet...
If it's later in the day, maybe around sunset or dusk, we could also have hanging lanterns or candles, maybe string lights or aisle luminarias...

From the apple trees looking toward the gravel lane beyond that borders the edge of the property and curves toward the field where cars can be parked
Arriving at the end of the lane which leads to the barn & the back field
(and Chloe sniffing around, so much to sniff!)

Looking from the end of the lane towards the back field, barn just to the left
