Caribou Bay Retreat was the perfect backdrop for Dana and Jason’s bohemian outdoor wedding. These two proved that it’s best to go with the flow and enjoy your wedding day, despite the uncertainty of weather. After planning a weekend full of outdoor activities, they ended up putting up a tent for their wedding ceremony and said their “I do’s” as the rain came down. Their relaxed vibe lasted all weekend as they managed to still have the best weekend ever celebrating with their family and friends (and pup!). Although the rain wasn’t ideal, it made for some dreamy photos by Danielle Simone Charles. She had Dana and Jason looking ethereal in the woods with the most magical Daffodil Parker bouquet ever.

The Wedding:
Caribou Bay Retreat, Coloma, Wisconsin

We had so many friends and family coming from near and far, so the most important thing to us was finding little ways to make everyone intermingle and have fun together while keeping it way more relaxed and intimate than your standard wedding. I wanted to avoid the things that you don’t really want to do but think you have to at a wedding, and replace those with fun ideas of our own. Instead of the standard clinking of the glasses for a kiss we had guests shake homemade tambourines, we added a custom espresso bar, had a toast with our guests during the ceremony, and had other unique homemade touches throughout the day.
