With champagne poured and lanterns lit, we’d love for you to join us for one unhurried evening in the orchard — long tables, good company, and the start of everything still ahead of us.

“He asked beneath the oldest apple tree. She said yes before he’d finished asking.”
Dearest friend,
We want to tell you exactly how it happened, because we still can’t quite believe our luck. James asked Elowen to walk with him at first light, out past the last row of the orchard to the oldest apple tree on the property — the gnarled one that’s been there longer than the farmhouse itself.
He had a whole speech prepared. He got as far as “I’ve been thinking about the rest of my life, and” — and Elowen said yes before he finished the sentence. He laughs about it still. She says she just knew.
Now we’d love nothing more than an evening with the people who mean the most to us — cider in hand, long table set, lanterns lit against the dusk.
With so much love,
Elowen & James
Orchard Elegant — think soft and unhurried, with a coat for the evening chill.
Midi or floor-length in blossom, sage, cream or honey gold. A light shawl for after sundown. Flats or block heels for the orchard grass.
Chinos or a suit in stone, sage or olive — no tie required. A light jacket once the fire is lit.
A few small things, so the evening is as easy as we mean it to be.
Kindly reply by the First of April, 2027.
Your reply is on its way to Elowen & James. We can’t wait to celebrate with you in the orchard.
Truly — having you there is everything. Should you wish to give something more, a contribution toward the wedding fund would be lovingly received.
