{Virginia} A Smithfield Plantation Wedding by Katie Estes Photography

puppy dog wedding inspiration, fall wedding inspirationWe have one word for this Smithfield Plantation wedding from Katie Estes Photography: adore.  From their adorable pup to the bride’s lace wedding gown and the colorful leaves, this southern wedding is just beautiful.  Autumn leaves adorned their wedding cake, the bridesmaids wore olive green, and everything is just lovely.

From Katie Estes Photography: “Christine and Michael’s wedding was full of charm!  The bride got ready at her parents’ house, which was nestled up in the mountains of Southwest Virginia.  After the groom arrived and we had taken several sweet photographs on the family land, the wedding party moved to the Smithfield Plantation Pavilion for the ceremony.  The fall leaves were in full color, providing a beautiful backdrop.  The reception, held at VCOM II at Virginia Tech, was also full of southern charm with corncake placeholders, pulled pork, and sweet tea.  Did I mention that the bride was super crafty?  She made her own veil, invitations, bouquets for the wedding party, AND the homemade limoncello favors!”  Congratulations, Christine and Michael!

{Texas} A Colorful Texas Wedding by Anna Routh Photography

Texas wedding blogFrom Anna Routh Photography: “Ross and Elise are proud Texans. When planning their wedding, the most important thing, besides throwing a killer party for their friends and family, was wearing their boots and dancing the night away. Elise and Ross got married in the same church as Elise’s parents in downtown Fort Worth, and the reception that followed was a true ranch affair, complete with barbecue, country music and s’mores! Friends and family enjoyed delicious eats under the stars on this fall evening and danced away to local favorite, Josh Weathers Band.”  Congratulations, Ross and Elise!

cowgirl boots wedding inspirationFrom Erin Lindsey Images: “Gary and Chyna are a sweet, fun couple from Alabama who are never short on smiles.  They got married at the breathtaking Huntsville Botanical Gardens on a beautiful day in September.  Their Southern roots showed through their use of mason jars, burlap table cloths, and authentic cowboy (and cowgirl) boots they wore on their wedding day.  Chyna loves classic flower bouquets, but decided that she wanted something that she could keep forever.  She chose a stunning, unique bouquet made completely out of brooches.  Their “cake” was actually tiny cake shooters arranged in tiers on a custom made wooden frame.  Their cake topper, which was the cake topper used for many generations in Chyna’s family’s, was set beside the cake shooter display.”  Congratulations, Gary and Chyna!
