This all white wedding will sweep you off of your feet. Held at the bride’s family home, Southern Posies planned the prettiest of celebrations with romance at every turn. Fabulous florals filled the day, from the ceremony surrounded by blooms that seemed to grow from the ground up to hanging flowers overhead at the reception. Meredith Benton Photography beautifully captured the joy and love of the day in her artful imagery. You can swoon over every last one in the full gallery.
From the Bride…. Collins and I met in our second semester of our first year of law school. I was instantly drawn to how kind and cute he was. Once we graduated from law school, we began working and living in two different cities. Not long after, I moved back to where he was and the rest is history. Collins proposed in Atlanta, Georgia, at the historic Swan House. A summer rain shower happened to pop up out of nowhere, and he was absolutely drenched. It is safe to say that I was completely shocked. We were surrounded by both of our families and close friends and it was the sweetest day.
Collins and I knew we wanted to get married in a place that was accessible to all of our guests and, the more we talked about our day, the more we knew that getting married in my hometown at my parent’s home was exactly what we wanted. My parent’s home was built by my grandmother and sits on land that has been in our family for years, so it made for an incredibly special location for our wedding. Not to mention, my sister got married there exactly 6 months prior to us. Walking out of our home with my dad and down the aisle to my groom was something I will never forget.
We knew we wanted the ceremony close to the water and a big, beautiful tent for all of our guests to enjoy the reception in. The vision was for our day to be Southern and traditional, but with some flare. Our wedding planners made sure to incorporate things that truly reflected who we were. For example, I LOVE pizza so they created a pizza bar where guests could select any type of pizza they wanted. Our day was everything and more than we could have ever dreamed.
