See Gabriela and Tyson’s Laid-Back Martha’s Vineyard Wedding

On June 20, 2014, a day prior to their nuptials, Gabriela Herman and Tyson Evans welcomed all of their guests to Martha's Vineyard (and their wedding weekend), with a casual gathering on a picturesque property. Beetlebung Farm, which the couple even considered for the wedding venue, provided an ideal atmosphere for the casual event, and much of the night's cuisine, too.

A Bunch of Beers

Gabriela and Tyson had been to several parties at Beetlebung Farm before, and thought that their presentation of beers in a tractor would be fitting of their rehearsal dinner.

The Food

A buffet was set up on a long wood table. In keeping with the coastal New England location, there was also a chowder station with oyster crackers—a favorite of the bride.

"We wanted to share family photos and pictures from our childhoods," Gabriela says. "We also knew that assembling any sort of video and projection would be out of the question logistically with being outside." Instead, they compiled about 100 4-by-6-inch prints and used mini clothespins to affix them to a fence for all to see.

Tyson's friend Whitney, a full-time accountant and part-time baker, made jars of sweets for dessert, like olive oil cake infused with rosemary and covered with an orange glaze, and gin and tonic cupcakes garnished with candy lime wedges.
