It's all in the Details.

Wedding season is in full bloom! It's hard to believe that last year we were 21 days away from our very own wedding... and thinking back, we still had so much to do. hah - I was just crazy! I find myself thinking back to last year and I must have just been out of my mind - I didn't think so at the time, but I must have been with all the things I would forget and just not do. The small wedding details that snuck up on is... and many of which, never got done - o well, right - we are still married and going strong!! 

Last weekend, however, the bride had it all pulled together!  Our very dear friends, Kara and Tim got married- right here in town {which was fun being the "locals" as we introduced ourselves to all their out-of-town friends- ha}. Kara made sure that each and every detail was not forgotten - from the cocktails to the table linens, this wedding was one for the books!  We had such a wonderful time celebrating the Braddick's and sharing in their special day! Everything was right from the heart - and it really shined all night long.   

I wanted to share with you some of my favorite details from the wedding.... 

First the flowers that the bridesmaids carried were each unique in their own way... all white, spring flowers - maybe each one's favorite flower? So thoughtful. The church bells sounded right at 4pm, and all was quiet for the festivities to begin! The programs at the church were beautiful ... with a sweet note to their parents and grandparents that shows just how thoughtful this couple really is. 

The alter was lined in tiny candles that just sparkled! 


The exit from the church was so fun... and the adorable little flags were made with lots of love from Mama Franke and Kara! 

Now on to the reception... 

First the tents - wow. Magical would be the right way to describe the scene. 


Signature cocktails {Southern Inn Mojito's} in bookshelves waiting for you upon arrival - with adorable blue and white straws.... 

Second, an old wooden fireplace mantle for the place-cards, so thoughtful and detailed. 


The table linens... Kara and her Mother searched near and far for this beautiful fabric, and in the end - it was worth the search. The tables were beautiful!

The monogrammed linen napkins and the heart-felt note to each and every attendee - just classic. LOVE you guys. 


The plush white couches that surrounded the dance floor... so cozy for the guests, and the chevron throw pillows - trendy and cute!  

...and perfect for snuggling with the groom.

Speaking of the Groom - Tim's fabulous monogrammed bow-tie and cummerbund set were the perfect touch to his classic tux! 

The Bride sported fabulous cowboy boots under her dress at the reception that were just adorable. 

The koozies were perfect - The state of Virginia with a heart over Lexington....
and the cookies, by One Preppy Cookie, were fantastic!! 


The food, catered by Southern Inn, was just outstanding - right down to the fried pickles. The three bars were serving all night long... and the Mo'Soul, from Atlanta kept the party groovin' late into the night. I could go on and on about all the wonderful details - but I'll leave you with a note from the bride and groom. 


Happy Honeymoon, guys! Love you!!
