Amy and Leo
Amy Eldon, along with her groom, Leo Voloshin, eschewed some of the more common elements of a modern wedding in favor of a decidedly intimate, quirkier affair. The creative duo, who own and manage Printfresh, a textile-design studio in Philadelphia, relied on original designs and vintage finds, including the bride's two gowns, to make sure their day was equal parts country-casual and big-city chic.

Bouquet
A creamy dahlia dominates the bridal bouquet, which includes ranunculus and blue delphiniums. Amy found her gown at a small antique clothing shop, and then had a blue satin sash made to match the day's palette.

Attendants
The littlest attendants were the children of the bride's cousins; the flower girls completed their sweet look with floral wreaths.

Bridesmaids
The bridesmaids all wore old-fashioned slips under dresses that were screen-printed, dyed, and sewn by Amy and her friends; they each carried a single pink peony tied with a simple blue ribbon.

Ceremony
"I couldn't imagine having the wedding in any other location," says Amy of her parents' farm, which set the rustic tone for the whole day. Here, a friend of the couple's marries them under the huppa Amy's dad built with wood cleared from the property.

Sporting the same design found on the bridesmaids' dresses, sachets of lavender were hand-stamped and distributed to guests for tossing after the ceremony.

Music
The Charlie Schaffer Quartet played jazz for the cocktail hour and dinner, and performed on the grass in lieu of a stage at the edge of a wooded area to maintain the day's casual vibe.

Table Settings
The table settings included an eclectic mix of mix-matched vases -- most were found at flea markets -- and blue-and-white-hand towels by Ikea were transformed into low-key place mats.

Dancing
Amy and her father, Jim, take a twirl on the dance floor. Though it was not in her original plans, Amy decided to wear a second gown at the tented reception, one that she had found and "couldn't resist" at the same small New Jersey antiques shop where she'd purchased her ceremony dress.
