You guys, seriously, pay attention here. This wedding is really cute. And full of rustic barn-y loveliness that we are all totally in love with. And guess what? Jen is a reader! It is so amazing when one of our readers sends her wedding over. That’s why we’re here after all. And Jen’s wedding, on a farm in Maine (you’re speaking our language, girl!), makes us want to quit our day jobs and spend weeks collecting little pieces of ephemera and vintage jars and growing coastal wildflowers while our summer pies bubble away in the oven.
Plus she shared the video of her wedding too. NEAT!
RIGHT???
Jen decorated the barn herself with the help of her super amazing friends. Mason jars! Weedy flowers! Rusty keys! Homemade jam! Globe lights! (We can’t stop).
Her escort cards were the antique keys with farm animal tags attached. And these matched up with little stamped river rocks at the place settings, which you can see in the invite shot.
Her invites were letterpressed by Pancake & Franks.
All photography and video by Charlotte Jenks Lewis.
You can catch up with Jen on her blog, the haystack needle.

i just fell in love this morning! incredible and charming wedding, superb photos!
Oh my heart! I am so thrilled!
From the individual details to the overall essence of the wedding I’m in love! As a recently engaged lady planning a barn wedding in Maine I proudly admit that this is going straight into my inspiration book! Perfection!
oh my. I am in LOVE with everything about this wedding – the keys?? perfection.
Yay! And Yum. Congratulations guys. Sighhh. Lovely and still sort of low key, just my thing.
Very beautiful wedding! My favs have to be the key place card wall, and the cupcake display. So orignal and sweet.
Completely beautiful! Canning jars and old keys never looked so good! Looking forward to seeing the video.
I love, love, love this! Thanks for sharing.
Love Jen and I just knew i was going to love her wedding. And shocker – I think it’s perfection. Utter Perfection.
Wow, it’s so sweet to read everyone’s comments! Thanks for the kind words!. I loved planning our wedding and the wedding day itself was so sweet and filled with joy. I feel so lucky that I get to be married to my Dan. As for the dress, I gave myself a wee budget as I am a paper person and wanted to spend on letterpress invites. On a friend’s recommendation, I went to Nicole Miller and found my dress. One fantastic thing about Nicole Miller is you order your dress size. No fittings for me. I just had the length shortened and straps got a nip/tuck by a local tailor. If you’re in New York, I recommend Village Tailors on Sullivan Street. They did an amazing tailoring job and cleaned my dress after — somehow managing to get all the stains out of a dress that had been through a grass ceremony and barn wedding! xo Jen
