Chelsea Lovejoy and Austin Reinhart’s modern-day love story started when both swiped right on Tinder in 2018. By the time Austin met Chelsea’s son, it was clear they were going to spend the rest of their lives together. Their glamorous autumn nuptials took place at his family’s property—the same place where Austin had proposed. A palette of neutrals mixed with greenery achieved the light and airy feel they were aiming for at their al fresco affair, and the mirrored aisle and dazzling chandeliers added the perfect glam element. Before the ceremony, Chelsea and Austin shared a couple-only first look, followed by a first look with their two boys. “Having that moment with our little family is something I will never forget,” the bride says. Guests were welcomed to the cocktail tent with cocktail napkins bearing images of the couple’s dog, Murphy, and cat, Willow. Deer antlers on the table nodded to Austin’s passion for hunting, while crystals, a particular love of Chelsea’s, decorated the cake and the head table. The full harvest moon was incorporated into the décor with moon-shaped menus and a moon backdrop that made a perfect photo-op. The reception tent was festooned with verdant vines, and string lights and chandeliers cast a warm glow over the night of celebration.
