Ever have those days where you’re indescribably happy and content, and kind of have butterflies inside “just because” ?? I’m there today. I just absolutely love what I do, and I love looking back on wedding days and reminiscing the day’s events, and the joy of seeing couples start their lives together!
On the blog today is this adorable couple from back in the fall.

I have known Lauren, her mom, and family for many years, so when they asked me to help with their big day, I was honored. Nestled away in small town Alabama, these two began their married life at a beautiful barn venue- Walter’s Farm of Ragland.
See…I told you. Beautiful.

The amazingly talented Mrs. Lydia Thrift of LPT DESIGNS , as always, captured the day perfectly through photos. It is always an absolute pleasure to work with Lydia, and I wish I could post every picture in Lauren’s album here. They are ALL delightful.
As a planner, life is always “about the details”, so when I get the link to view clients professional photos from their wedding, I am almost always drawn to the detail shots immediately. The details of this day were stunning in real life and captured perfectly.
I love floral art.. so i had to include this one. I just couldn’t scroll on by it.

One of the main things I loved about this wedding was the family. Sure, most all weddings include many family members, but there was something a little different about this one. They were all involved, all decoracting, hustling and bustling around, gettin’ things done, but all so focused on Lauren and Josh and their day! Even more than that, the flowers. All of the florals were done by Lauren’s Grandmother (maid of honor) and her entourage. They were perfect. Seriously perfect.
Beautiful lady + Beautiful flowers

Also, the family. Again. I said before that I have known Lauren’s family for forever, but it was so sweet to get to meet Josh’s family for the first time. I love, love, love to watch grooms dote over their brides and spend all day anticipating ceremony time. His adorable little niece was the flower girl, too, and did I say adorable.
I’m a big fan of the navy suit trend, too.
See.. adorable. And that flower crown.

What’s a beautiful wedding without an awesome reception, right?? The food from Local Joe’s Catering, and the cakes from the lovely Lorraine Smith of Edible Memories were happiness in edible form.
