This Bride and Her Mom Planned Her Earthy Arboretum Wedding

By Estephanie Gomez

Caroline Farmer and Madison Rhea moved to the same street when they were 4 years old. In seventh grade, the duo began to date, though they eventually went their separate ways. But history worked in their favor, and they reconnected at their high school reunion. After a lakeside Valentine’s Day proposal, the outdoor-loving couple planned an affair under the stars on November 5, 2016. Influenced by camping trips in Colorado, the couple settled on an earthy, green-and-white color scheme, complete with succulent and moss centerpieces.
