This is the style of wedding that gave SMP a name in the world of weddings. Classic but romantic. chic but approachable. And while we celebrate so many styles of wedding – from modern to multicultural, from classic to whimsical – it’s this attainable elegance that gives us all of the nostalgic feels. Photographed by Alicia Mink with planning by Perfectly Poised and STUNNING florals by Gavita Flora – you will fall in love with this absolutely beautiful affair.
Taylor and Jesse met when Jesse moved to Knoxville, TN to start working for Pilot Flying J . She was an intern in their direct sales department. Taylor and Jesse were jokingly advised to stay away from each other by their boss – that obviously did not work very well. Jesse reached out to Taylor a couple weeks later to see if she knew of anything going on that weekend. They met up to hang as friends and quickly realized they had something special.
Jesse asked Taylor to marry him while they were back in Knoxville for Christmas 2016.
Taylor and Jesse’s wedding was not only stunning but filled with lots of heartfelt moments and laughs. I really love when couples can laugh and have fun together – it really shows in their photographs! I love that they did truly enjoy every moment of their wedding and soaked it all in.
Taylor and Jesse wanted their wedding to have a classic outdoor feel with lots of florals and greenery. The winery itself has the most amazing grounds with lots of greenery, only adding to the stunning florals by Gavita Flora.
The color palette filled with lots of neutrals and blush was the perfect fit for a light, outdoor, tented wedding. When it comes to personal style, Jesse rocked a deep navy tux from The Black Tux while Taylor opted for a simple (yet stunning!) Modern Trousseau gown. I also enjoyed Taylor’s Vera Wang bridesmaid dresses – the grey/blue is absolutely gorgeous!
