Shelby & TJ’s Rustic Spring Wedding
Shelby & TJ
June 9, 2018
Colbert, GA
Shelby and TJ’s wedding was the perfect combination of casual and enchanting. The couple exchanged vows in front of a wooden arbor (built by the groom!) decorated with an arrangement of pink and white blooms. Shelby’s bridesmaids wore mismatched dresses in shades of lavender and blush and were escorted down the aisle by groomsmen in dress shirts and ties. The bride wore a beautiful lace gown with a dreamy tulle skirt. Pink dahlias and a variety of greenery gave her bouquet a wild, organic look, which perfectly complemented the venue’s picturesque scenery. She joined TJ at the end of the aisle, where they joyfully wed in a beautiful ceremony.
The venue’s indoor and outdoor spaces offered the perfect setting for a rustic elegance-themed reception. A cozy lounge area with vintage furniture created a casual space for guests to mingle outside in the warm summer sun. Inside, tables were set with crisp white linens and a variety of elegant centerpieces, including clusters of glowing candles and floral arrangements of various heights. An estate table with a lush floral runner sat beneath a rustic chandelier and string lights. Southern style comfort food was served for dinner and dessert and included a simple three-tier cake, accompanied by several smaller signature cakes from members of the couple’s family. The newlyweds danced the night away with family and friends, ready to embark on the next chapter in their lives.

“Our flowers were absolutely stunning. I worked closely with my wedding planner to really nail down a design I was so thrilled to receive on my wedding day. We wanted the florals to be organic and natural; however, we did want to stray from the “all green and white” we are seeing so much of these days. I really trusted my vendors here. My wedding planner and florist knew exactly how to bring my vision to life and make it unique to mine and TJ’s day. I was elated to see all the different hues of purples and pinks, without being too crazy or overwhelming. The colors all flowed so beautifully together and really complimented the venue and completed our vision for the day!” -Shelby
“We were able to tie in little sentimental pieces throughout our day. TJ built our wooden wedding arbor for the ceremony by hand.” -Shelby
“Our wedding was the perfect combination of comfort and euphoria. Our family and friends were able to join together for a big celebration of the love and commitment we were making together. The ceremony and reception were filled with breathtakingly beautiful natural scenery that allowed us and our guests to share a joyful night together.” -Shelby
“Without a doubt, we couldn’t have lived without our wonderful wedding planner, Taylor Dawn. Weddings can become stressful and easily made into something they were not intended for, but Taylor was able to keep us level-headed, at ease and confident in every decision. She truly has a gift for planning and designing and does so well getting to know her client’s desires and visions for their big day.” -Shelby
“Our cake table was made up of our three-tier wedding cake along with smaller signature cakes that our family members are known for baking. We loved having our family have such a special role in the wedding day.” -Shelby
