[section title=”The Planning”]

[field title=”Wedding Colors”]blue, white, greenery, wood[/field]

[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]From the bride: Our theme for the wedding was a French garden party. We loved the idea of overflowing florals, patterns & greenery. We knew Grindstone was the perfect setting as the cypress trees that lined the park immediately gave us the “French” aesthetic and knew our incredible florist Lisa Claire Hunter, could turn it into an overflowing garden. In addition to beautiful florals, we wanted our wedding to be fun, leaving an impression on guests to look back and remember how much fun they had. We had guests traveling from all over the country & world so it meant a lot to us that they knew how special they were to us! [/field]

[field title=”Proposal Story”]From the bride: We had plans to go to the Morgan Wallen concert with our friends and parents. Prior to meeting our friends; Jared, our parents and I met downtown for drinks. We would often frequent Hotel Winters so when Jared suggested we head there it wasn’t on my radar that he could be proposing. He led me to the water fountain in the courtyard where he got down on one knee. It was so special that our parents got to be apart of the proposal. From there we headed to the concert with our friends & family and celebrated all night! [/field]
