A vintage inspired dress, modern decor, and the perfect getaway car, this Talega Golf Club<\/a> wedding is effortlessly cool. Cat and Jon’s go with the flow vibe translated into their wedding with a post ceremony drive and a couple of other last minute decisions simply because it just felt right. Between Cat’s artistic background and Kayla Ewing Wedding and Event Planning<\/a>, the details of everything from the invites to the decor are spot on. Justin Jay<\/a> and Take Heart Films<\/a> perfectly captured Cat and Jon’s joy and easy-going nature that was so evident throughout the day.<\/p>\n

The dress inspiration came from a deep rooted love of vintage (1920-1930) fashion and the incredible green dress from the film Atonement (if you have ever seen it, you know what I am talking about). That was it. I never looked at anything else that wasn’t charmeuse. You would be surprised how few dresses there are without lace\/beading embellishment. I lucked out when the designer (Suzanne Neville<\/a> herself!) of my dress was visiting a local shop and confirmed she would be able to put two different of her designs together, the bodice from one, and the skirt from another. I watched her as she drew up a sketch of my dress, it was magical.<\/em><\/p>\n

I wrote and illustrated a children’s book for Jon<\/span> with all the most special moments\/memories of our lives together Dr. Suess style. It was perfect. Jon<\/span> knows my undying love for converse tennis shoes and made custom, “Just Married” sneakers. I wore them for our entire honeymoon and haven’t really taken them off since.<\/em><\/p>\n

Being a stickler for aesthetics, I kept the bridesmaids in white and the groomsmen in black. I think we ended up looking so clean together!<\/em><\/p>\n

Since Jon<\/span> wanted the big wedding and I originally wanted to elope, we did both, sort of. We went to a mountain top in New Zealand to exchange hand written vows before the wedding. Nobody knew, just us and a photographer. Epic photos of it were made into a sign in book for our wedding. Dawn Thompson did an epic job photographing, as well as Artifact Uprising<\/a> printing the book!<\/em><\/p>\n

I ended up added the “just married” lettering to the jacket that morning of. My beauty look evolved throughout the day, I didn’t decide until after the ceremony to put red lip stick (it just felt right!).<\/em><\/p>\n

There is a photo next to the car at our venue that we both felt was magic. I felt like a 1930’s movie star and Jon<\/span> felt like James Dean. Needless to say, It was a good moment for us both. Another favorite was when Jon<\/span> threw me over his shoulder (very Seven Brides for Seven Brothers style) to prevent my silk charmeuse dress from snagging.<\/em><\/p>\n

We adored having an old muscle car. During our portraits together we took a short (but very fast) drive, played classic rock, and kissed. My hair was basically a hot mess from the wind, but I didn’t care. We felt like old movie\/rock stars living “life in the fast lane.” Running off for our portraits allowed us to have a special moment together after the ceremony (such an emotional high!) before seeing everyone. I recommend it!<\/em><\/p>\n
