Dark red, ivory, and blush florals, Edison lights dangling from wooden pillars, and burlap table runners came together to create the rustic decor at Joe and Lacy’s casual and fun wedding at the Monteagle Sunday School Assembly in Tennessee. Light-lavender bridesmaid gowns added an elegant touch to the laid-back design. The guest enjoyed a scrumptious pie table before participating in a sparkler send-off. We’re so glad Nyk + Cali captured amazing photos of this lovely wedding!

The Couple:

Joe and Lacy

The Wedding:

Monteagle Sunday School Assembly, Monteagle, Tennessee

The Inspiration:

I would describe our wedding decor as rustic and industrial. We had iron marquee signs with exposed lightbulbs and Edison lights dangling over the bar. We used burlap as table cloths and lace for table runners. Beer was served in mason jars and cokes were enjoyed from glass bottles. It was perfectly shabby chic.

The Moments:

Hmm, that’s a tough one! There was one moment during the reception when I stepped back from all the merriment and just watched for a minute. Everyone that I loved dearly was all together in one place, joy and music were exploding from the building, everyone (and I seriously mean everyone) was dancing with complete abandon, there was a September breeze coming through the door and I remember thinking that this, right here, is heaven meeting earth.

The Couple Recommends:

Nyk and Cali were just incredible. When we met for the initial interview, the four of us ended us staying for an hour just chatting about life. They didn’t just take our pictures, they really invested in a relationship with us. Evelyn Rains and Melanie Smith from A Village of Flowers were perfect. I had a pretty obscure vision of what I wanted for the bouquets (think decorative kale, pomegranates, and artichokes) and the two of them were right on track with everything that I was wanting and made the most unique and beautiful arrangements I had ever seen! Also, Ashlee Stephenson from The White Room, I swear she was a fairy godmother sent to me from heaven! She’s bubbly and energetic and made me feel like a rock star!
