In true Georgia fashion, Kristin and Brian’s wedding at Sweet Meadow Farm<\/a> was as sweet as could be and full of vintage inspiration. Although the weather took a turn for the worse after their first look and portrait session with Yellow Bird Visuals<\/a>, this couple rolled with it and had the coziest ceremony inside the farmstead and an indoor-outdoor reception covered by a clear tent. For a touch of vintage charm, they rented mismatched place settings from The Prissy Plate Company<\/a> and had The Botanical Studio<\/a> design understated floral arrangements that added warmth to the décor. We are wholeheartedly in love with Kristin’s beaded Jenny Packham<\/a> gown, which she paired with a delicate gold hairpiece from Twigs & Honey<\/a> for a vintage-inspired bridal look that matched the vibe of the entire day — and looked so chic with the fur stole she added for the reception!<\/p>\n

I have always loved vintage gowns and long sleeves (swoon!) When I tried on my Jenny Packham<\/a> gown, I didn’t think I would ever want to take it off! My incredible seamstress helped me customize the back with a peep-hole, created a custom belt, and made it fit like a glove! My vintage inspired headpiece from Twigs & Honey<\/a> was the icing on the cake. My husband and his groomsmen wore beautiful blue suits fromGeneration Tux<\/a>. He added a vest to his attire, which made him stand out and added some vintage flair. My bridesmaids were dressed in incredible beaded gowns by Adrianna Papell<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Brian<\/span> and I are generally relaxed people, and we wanted our day to reflect that. We toured our venue, Sweet Meadow Farm<\/a>, on a beautiful spring day and knew immediately that there was no comparison. Their focus on a “slow” wedding day and their awesome team allowed us to find some calm in the craziness of the day!<\/em><\/p>\n

Our ceremony was the most memorable part of the day. It was a freezing day in Georgia — so cold you could see our breath when we said our vows. I was shivering so hard that I had to sidebar with our guests to tell them that I was not incredibly nervous! Brian<\/span> and I planted a fiddle leaf fig for our unity ceremony, and we had to walk around our arbor to get to the tree. Brian<\/span> walked around first and I (clumsy as can be) almost knocked myself out on the arbor. I announced that I was okay and we all had a great laugh. Our ceremony was even more perfect because of its imperfections!<\/em><\/p>\n

Our best planning advice is to always prepare for the whims of mother nature, and try not to let crazy weather cause you to stress! April in Georgia is hit or miss, and we ended up with freezing weather and rain. Thankfully we planned ahead with a backup location for the ceremony and a completely clear, magical tent for the reception. Despite the rain and cold, our day was absolutely incredible!<\/em><\/p>\n

We wanted something simple, casual, and delicious for our menu, so we immediately called the awesome team at Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q<\/a>. We have always loved our neighborhood Fox Bros (an Atlanta staple) and chose some of our favorites for the day. We selected mini pork sliders, quartered chicken, and brisket chili, along with tons of delicious sides like mac & cheese and spicy green beans. The meal paired perfectly with our mismatched china from The Prissy Plate Company<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n
