If impeccable style, a romantic color palette, and elegant-meets-rustic décor are on your list of wedding must-haves, this Grand Rapids barn wedding needs to be at the top of your inspiration board! Chelsea Seekell, the photographer turned bride, and her stylish hubby turned every element into a designer’s dream, mixing vintage and rustic pieces and tying it all together with a glamorous palette of dusty rose, emerald green, black, white, and gold. We don’t typically see such rich colors in summer weddings, so this unique twist was as refreshing as it was stunning! From the modern studio ceremony to the sunset portraits amid the wildflowers to the intimate barn reception, Tana Helene Photography had us falling more in love with this beautiful couple and their gorgeous wedding day with every image!
The Couple:
Chelsea and Jordan
The Wedding:
A.K. Rikks and Private Barn, Grand Rapids, Michigan
We wanted the day to feel very “us”. Jordan works in fashion, so the emerald green tuxedo was his way to spice things up. I wanted our ceremony to be more about us and less about the décor, so we went with a clean, minimal look. For our reception in the barn, we wanted to make feel a bit fancier. So we went all out with the flowers, gold flatware, and details.

Our advice is: don’t take things too seriously; 100% do a first look; make it more about the two of you and less about posing for photos, and actually ATTEND your own wedding!
