Kari and Blake were married in Franklin, TN   Kari wanted a 1940 vintage inspired wedding with lots of fun details.

The bride wore a beautiful dress with a birdcage veil and fabulous red shoes.

Centerpieces were vases of apples, lanterns and gourds with candy apple favors for every guest. The head table was large white lanterns and beautiful vintage plates. The rich brown and green color scheme complemented this fall wedding.

During the cocktail hour, guests were served apple cider and caramel popcorn.

 In addition to the amazing bride's cake there was strawberry shortcake for a groom's cake.  Later in the evening there were also cookies and plain and chocolate milk served in vintage glass milk bottles.     

The couple made their getaway from the church in a vintage 1941 GMC truck.  

This couple had so much fun their entire day.

I had the privilege of working on a beautiful summer wedding at Carnton Plantation in Franklin, TN. Alix was a stunning bride.  With such a beautiful setting, the entire event was gorgeous.  The weather was beautiful for a ceremony by the gardens.

It was such a perfect day. The chivari chairs all perfectly lined up and the grape arbor at the back of the garden.

I recently worked on a beautiful wedding for Clover and Emerson. Clover wanted a classic black and white color scheme with green accents. She kept the green to a minimum using it in a few flower shades and the reception decor with Granny Smith apples.  The result was a beautiful, fresh wedding.

The day started at the church.  I will let these stunning photos speak for themselves.

After the ceremony, everyone headed to the hotel.  This Hatch print was both the guest book and given out as a favor. 

These tall centerpieces all were slightly different and includes apples with a variety of white flowers. 

This 5 tier cake was amazing!

With a great band, the guests were on the dance floor all night

Even though I try not to be in photos, they still caught a few of me laughing with the bride:
