Since summer unofficially ended last weekend, I'm excited to jump into Fall weddings, starting with this pretty little red & black September gem. From invitations to card box to wine favors, the Bride crafted plenty of DIY details to admire. My very favorite detail? The Bride's very original, very cute party nail!! Joe Hendricks Photography was on hand to capture this beauty:
The fun-loving couple, Wendy & Ramey, met in the military while they were training for a half-marathon. They started dating & things were set in motion when Ramey proposed to Wendy on romantic New Year's Eve. They settled on an early September wedding date & decided to create a cool red & black wedding. The couple made their simple, beautiful red & black pocket wedding invitation to set the tone.
Wendy & Ramey tied the knot in an intimate, outdoor ceremony at Cheekwood Botanical Garden, a lush, beautiful space accented by a large exhibit of colorful glass-blown artwork. A coordinating, DIY red & black wedding program guided the guests through the ceremony. The Bride wore white but stayed true to her red & black color scheme with fun red heels & dramatic black lace wrapped around her full, white bouquet of hydrangeas, roses & calla lilies. As a sweet surprise to her Groom, the Bride wrote "I Do" on her ring finger, the ultimate party nail for a wedding!
The party continued at The Standard Nashville with more DIY, personalized details starting with escort cards made of white lace, red ribbon & white paper overlaid on black tented cards to direct guests to their tables. The reception tables were named after the couple's favorite football teams & their beloved pets. Each table had a black linen, a black & white damask runner & an arrangement of red roses & white flowers in a sleek, black vase. The three-tiered, round white wedding cake featured red ribbons, red & white roses & a sparkly monogram topper. The Groom's cake wasn't quite as elegant but it was a cute nod to the Groom's favorite football team, Arkansas Razorbacks. When the fun party came to a close, the lucky guests took home a favor of bottled homemade wine decorated with a DIY red & black label.
Congratulations, Wendy & Ramey!

Oh, my dear Koru family & friends, you are in for a real treat! It's not every day that a Bride & Groom gets married mounted on their gorgeous horses. Yes, on their horses! Let's admire the fantastic photos from bycherry photography:
Boulder City Horseman's Association in Nevada may not be an obvious wedding venue for many but for horse fanatics Anna & Steven, it was the perfect place to say "I Do!" & incorporate their beloved horses.
Anna & Steven's late morning wedding was full of blue skies & bright sunshine. The country Bride was ready in her white lace dress, cream cowboy boots & something blue cowboy boots. She carried a white wildflower bouquet tied with burlap, while her bridesmaids carried colorful wildflower bouquets also tied with burlap. Not to be forgotten, the Bride's chestnut horse wore white flowers, while the Groom's raven horse sported red flowers.
Sleek, beautiful horses carried the entire bridal party down the aisle, including the Bride & Groom. The entire ceremony was conducted with the Bride, Groom & bridal party sitting on their horses. The officiant conducted the ceremony from a bale of hay. Once their marriage was sealed with a kiss, the Bride & Groom rode their horses off into happily ever after!
But they couldn't ride too far because there was a party to enjoy! The Bride & Groom infused their reception with country-western details. The doiley-covered tables were decorated with mason jars of wildflowers & succulents. Some mason jars were left plain & others were wrapped in burlap. Burlap bunting spelled proudly proclaimed "You Had Me At Hello."
This unique country-western wedding indeed had me at hello!! Anna & Steven, we tip our cowboy hats to you!
VENDOR LOVE
