Tell us about your wedding! What was the inspiration behind your day? Did you have a specific theme, style or color palette?
I wanted all of the warm colors. I also wanted little reminders of our grandparents who have passed to be incorporated in our day.
Let’s talk wedding decor. How did you decorate your space for the ceremony and the reception? Was any part of the decor DIY?
The rain definitely changed things up a bit. We moved the party inside and despite the stressful moments and the possibility of horrible storms it ended up being the perfect day! All of the glass was thrifted. each piece matched a bridesmaid dress and I loved that!
Did you personalize the day in any way (food trucks, traditions, guest entertainment etc.)? What were some of your favorite parts of your wedding?
My uncle owns the caffeinated trailer. I worked there and helped him get it started. I was so happy to have them there serving my favorite coffee! My dads cousin, who owns mama bears cafe, catered the wedding. Her pizza is amazing. They did outstanding! I wrote the second verse to the song ‘Miracle’ that my cousin abbie sang. She did outstanding!! Everyone who sang songs were family and did amazing! My dad told my favorite childhood story about Jacob the big black horse. I didn’t know he was going to do that.. it was so special!
Let’s talk fashion. How did you both choose your wedding day look?
The jacket he wore was my grandpas. It was so special to me! His green cowboy hat was gifted to him by his grandpa! I bought my dress at a bridal shop in Shreveport. I changed it up quite a bit from its original look! The sleeves were all me and I adored the whole look. I wanted a long veil and that’s exactly what I got ❤️
What was the most anticipated or special moment of your wedding day?
My most anticipated part was saying I do and enjoying the evening with my friends and family as well as my new husband!!! My most special moment was dad telling that story and everyone praying for us during the ceremony!! It was such a perfect moment!
Do you have any wedding planning or marriage advice that you’d like to share with other couples planning their day?
It’s going to be stressful and things may not always go perfect but just breathe! At the end of the day it all falls into place, every amazing moment will outweigh the stressful ones, and you will be married to the one you love most! As far as marriage advice.. keep God first and foremost in your marriage and you’ll made it through the hard times. Love your partner deeply!! Never speak poorly about them to anyone. Life won’t always be perfect, but when you face problems with your partner by your side and God leading the way those problems seem a little bit smaller..
