They almost had the ceremony indoors. Someone must have been watching down on them to give us 90 minutes of no rain and a glowy sun for Taylor and Cody’s lakeside wedding at Cold Springs Resort! Their day had all the classic vibes with a twist of boho as the bride chose bouquets of warm neutrals with pampas grasses and hints of peachy pink.
