So happy to spend this little time off before Christmas blogging the rest of my 2015 events! I had such a wild, quick, busy, but FUN {first} year doing wedding florals/planning/styling and at times I felt on top of the world! And others, so low that I didn't think I would ever get back up. It's all part of learning, failing, growing. With that being said, Kaylie + Cory's wedding was one I was so proud to be a small part of. It is mirrored in my 2016 goals because of it's authenticity, intimacy, simplicity, and gorgeousness. The bride and groom, and all their guests and loved ones were there for exactly the right reason… to witness Cory marry Kaylie in front of God.
Kaylie chose the FABULOUS Jennifer Blair Photography to capture her wedding day and I don't know how that little blondie is able to capture every special moment so flawlessly, but she does! Can't wait to work with her again! Thank you to the lovely Sarah Bretz for assisting with this wedding!

I love reliving this special day through these perfect photos! Kaylie was a stunning bride, and their day just radiates joy! She has become such a good friend of mine and I can't wait to see where their marriage journey takes them. She's also a kickass photographer herself and I can't wait for more fun weddings together. All the best wishes to this sweet couple!
This wedding can also be seen in Style Me Pretty.

Last Fall flew by and I was lucky enough to visit Nashville not once, but twice! My first trip was absolutely so fun. I met an April bride and groom there with their family to knock out a few big wedding details! Megan and Joe (bride and groom) are too fun, we laughed the whole time while they narrowed their menu options, cake, etc. We met with the lovely Amanda Gros for Megan's bridal hair and makeup trial and she knocked it out of the park. Megan was stunning! I can't wait to see her all done up on the big day. They also showed me around Nashville, Vanderbilt (Megan's Alma Mater) and Franklin! So many lovely places but none quite as beautiful as their wedding venue! :) I'll spare their wedding details for now as we lock in their final details and get prepared for the BIG day… It's going to be an amazing one.
I went back to Nashville shortly after with friend and photographer, Jennifer Pharr. We had a blast road-tripping our way up there for the Pursue Workshop and then shot a little styled bridal session that packed a ton of SASS. I am still blown away by Nashville's hospitality and sweet locals. I reached out to a few talented vendors who graciously came to the gorgeous Bloomsbury Farm to make magic with us! They made the whole shoot extra special for us.

Love these photos from Austin Gros so so much. Shades of blue have never looked so good. I am beyond giddy to head back to the Cordelle in Nashville for SEE Sessions with Jessica Sloane in February and then back to Bloomsbury in April for one heck of a wedding. You can see more from our styled shoot at the farm on Wedding Sparrow in a few weeks, and in my portfolio.
