We think Paige and Allen are one of the most darling examples of “opposites attract!” Paige, a self-proclaimed hippie, and Allen, a US Marine, tied the knot at Pear Tree Estate<\/a> in Illinois and incorporated ways to honor both of their perfectly harmonious personalities. A romantic color palette of crisp whites, natural greens, and delicate pinks are found throughout the couple’s wedding décor, and DIY projects keep their style unique and fresh! Photographer Pam Cooley<\/a> captured every moment of the couple’s beautiful day, including a private vow session and an incredibly regal Marine-style recessional!<\/p>\n

The most important thing for us was remembering what the whole planning process was all about. Despite all the details and stress, I was getting ready to marry the love of my life and if you can try to keep that in mind with every decision, not only will you feel better but it will remain an extremely fun process.<\/em><\/p>\n

I wanted boho chic elegance. I had my ivory beaded lace topper made custom from Europe and it was what made my dress my own. My hair and makeup was extremely natural, I didn’t want to be made up into something I wasn’t everyday. My sister wore a light grey blue one shoulder chiffon gown with gold arm bangles.<\/em><\/p>\n

Pear Tree Estate was such a beautiful palette for us to create exactly what we envisioned, it gave us the option to create our own look. We were also surrounded by the Illinois prairie land views.<\/em><\/p>\n
