Sometimes, there’s simply no place like home. Such was the case for Caitlin and Kyle Auten, whose sunny summer reception was held on the grounds of the bride’s parents’ house in Chesapeake, VA. The couple’s wedding planner, Antonia Christianson, was both surprised and delighted to be able to call upon Caitlin’s family for more than just the lush setting. A key element in the stunning decor — pine tables with vintage cast-iron sewing-machine bases — were each handcrafted by Caitlin’s father over several months time. Proof once and for all that you need not look for perfection beyond your own backyard.
