Tennessee Farm Wedding

Jade, along with her parents, hosted this beautiful event on their farm in southern middle Tennessee. A warm fall evening provided the perfect setting for friends and family to celebrate.

Her dad spent weeks building the gazebo for the ceremony and the amazing doors for her entrance and the results were stunning.

After the ceremony, guests went to a beautiful tented reception with so many charming details. Lots of vintage crates, signs, and accents were around the tent to make guests feel welcome and relaxed. Long farm tables had cheesecloth table runners in warm colors and brass candlesticks with greenery. The head table had a lovely floral centerpiece and a calligraphy sign.

The buffet table had stacks of vintage beverage crates holding the flatware and napkins for the buffet, adding a charming touch.

This amazing cake smelled and tasted as good as it looked. With its dripping icing, fresh flowers, succulents, and fresh fruit, it was a statement piece. The warm reds, blues, and gray colors were complemented by the white icing and dripping caramel.

After dinner, guests were able to enjoy outdoor games and a band.

Charming, Small, Outdoor Wedding

From the very first time I talked with Katie, I was in love with her approach to her wedding. She wanted a small, intimate wedding for 50 guests with a laid back feel where guests could celebrate. She was such a pleasure to work with, and her wedding is one of my favorites.

It took a while to find the perfect venue, but we found it at the Hardy Chambers Farmhouse near Pulaski. The historic space was a perfect fit for the couple.
