A Romantic Barn Wedding Refreshed with Vibrant Florals
Wood-paneled barns are a beloved staple of Delaware weddings. What made this celebration stand out was the contrast. Airy linens, white cross-back chairs, and vibrant florals brought a lightness that felt fresh and romantic inside Loblolly Acres.
How They Met
Before there were vows, there were puppies.
Nick walked into the veterinary office where Reilly worked with two bundles of furry joy, and Reilly fell hard. Not wanting the conversation to end, or to put down the adorable pitbull puppies, she walked Nick to his truck just to spend a few extra minutes with them. On his second vet visit, they exchanged socials and bonded over their shared love of dogs.
She fell for the tattooed, motorcycle-riding pitbull owner.
He fell for the volleyball-playing, horseback-riding vet assistant.
From vet visits to quiet evenings during Covid, their connection deepened quickly and never looked back.
The Wedding Day
Set against the warm wood backdrop of Loblolly Acres in Viola, Delaware, Reilly and Nick embraced the timeless charm of a barn venue while introducing a palette that felt fresh and romantic.
Inside the barn, the color story felt joyful and intentional. Bright pinks and citrus tones carried from the bouquets to the reception tables, creating a sense of cohesion that balanced beautifully with the warmth of the wood interior. The overall effect was inviting, romantic, and full of life.
Floral installations added movement and texture throughout, from lush ceremony arrangements to the abundant head table display.
Savora Catering anchored the reception with a hospitality-first approach, creating a celebration that felt seamless for both the couple and their guests.
“The Savora experience was exceptional from start to finish, from the intimate private tasting to the incredible meal on our wedding day. Every dish was absolutely delicious, and our guests nonstop talked about how delicious it was. Lori’s attention to detail and the professional, seamless staff she brought with her made everything feel effortless. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better catering team.” – Reilly
As the evening unfolded under string lights and glowing marquee letters, guests were well cared for, allowing the couple to remain fully present in each moment.
Reilly & Nick’s Favorite Moment
While there were many highlights, two moments stood out most.
Having their daughter present and dressed in her own little white dress made the day deeply meaningful. “She is our whole world,” Reilly shared, and seeing her woven into the celebration added an emotional layer that guests will never forget.
The couple also chose to exchange private vows, an intimate pause in the middle of a busy day where they could speak freely and fully from the heart. It was quiet, personal, and entirely theirs.
