Crisp white place settings gave the wood farm tables, accented with white and burlap layered runners, a clean look
While the décor was simple, the couple’s personality came out in so many ways: from the foodie menu and the coasters that mimicked those from the restaurant where Jen and Ken had their first date to the unique chandeliers—antique lobster baskets (a nod to the seafood restaurant the pair owns)—filled with jars of candles.
The couple exchanged vows they wrote to each other and the groom’s children under a giant oak tree. A close family friend, 
fondly referred to as Jen’s “second mom,” officiated the ceremony using a Betty Crocker cookbook binder to hold the readings 
(a sweet tribute to the couple, both chefs).
Jen added a personalized touch to each flower girl’s (Ken’s daughters) pink bouquet: tiny butterflies for one bunch and a purple ribbon for the other.

Although Jen and Ken chose to incorporate personal touches throughout their day, they let the rustic ranch setting really set the tone. Clean, natural décor with splashes of down-home comfort conjured up the laid-back elegance the pair envisioned for their wine-country nuptials. A neutral palette of whites and grays mixed with natural woods felt at home in the big white industrial barn, while pops of pink added a fun, summery accent.
