Cailin and Michael

Shake off the winter blues; nothing says spring like tulips! Cailin and Michael choose a “Love Bird” theme with mint green and pink. Michael wore his pink tie as a blindfold to meet with Cailin before the ceremony without seeing her.

The arbor had drop crystals and live flowers with babies breath. Babies breath lined the aisle in blue mason jars. The bride’s niece and nephew were flower girl and ring bearer. The cake was strawberry on the inside with mint icing dusted with gold sprinkles. They also had a naked gluten free cake topped with golden chocolate bunnies.

These gorgeous photos were taken by Taylor Gregory Photography. I LOVE the ring shots!

Bethany and Jeremy

April is such a beautiful time to be married! The cherry trees and weeping willows are fully leafed out and the dogwoods, azaleas, lilacs, and rhododendrons are typically in bloom.

Bethany and Jeremy chose mint as the color of the bridesmaid’s dresses. The flowers on the arbor, provided by 1812 Hitching Post, were silk green and white white hydrangeas with greenery. Babies breath in mason jars lined the aisle. The reception centerpieces were silk hydrangeas in blue mason jars with jelly jar candles on a burlap runner and slab of wood. The cake had a cute green ribbon accent. On the buffet, the couple chose to have a mashed potato bar. It was delicious!

Most of the couple’s photography was provided by Amanda Caldwell Photography. The photos on this page were taken by Taylor Gregory and Wendy Waldron at the venue to show you some shots of the decor and the yummy mashed potatoes!

Elizabeth and Chris – April Wedding

April 21, 2016 By Wendy Leave a Comment

Elizabeth and her family planned a wedding for close to 200 people at the end of April. Elizabeth chose coral and pink with touches of silvery shimmer for her decorations. The gorgeous peonies, hydrangeas, and ranunculous bouquets and cake flowers were provided by Willow Branch.

The bride provided clear jugs that we filled with water beads and springs of sparkly leaves. Around the jugs were coffee filter “flowers” the bridal party made in corals and pinks. The overlays were sheer silver. Side vases had floating candles.

The weather turned unseasonably cold, so we held the ceremony under the tent. Elizabeth was so happy to have her daddy walk her down the aisle! After the ceremony, photos included Elizabeth’s adorable dog. A sparkler send-off ended the fabulous evening.

Melissa and Dustin

April weddings are so beautiful with the dogwoods and azaleas in bloom! Melissa and Dustin had a wedding with plum and white accents. The pretty live floral swag, aisle flowers, centerpieces, and bouquets were provided by Florals by Desi. Spring is the perfect time for hydrangeas! The cake had alternating layers of vanilla pound cake and citrus flavor. It was on our wood cake base surrounded by a mound of babies breath. What a wonderful start for a beautiful family that now includes little Audrey!

Christa and Jason – Early April

April 2, 2016 By Wendy Leave a Comment

Christa and Jason planned an April 2nd wedding at 4:30 p.m. in the corral at the 1812 Hitching Post. Christa wanted a tropical theme with orange, hot pink, and red flowers.
Their menu included fruit, shrimp, bacon wrapped chicken, chicken Marsala, salad bar, mashed potatoes and green beans. For dessert, the 1812 Hitching Post provided the wedding cake with layers of citrus and almond flavors. The couple also had a colorful candy bar!
Centerpieces included live palm fronds with a curved large vase and silk flowers. The couple utilized the 1812 Hitching Post photo booth props for some cute photos!
