Bringing Their Vision To Life Through Their <\/span>Stone Acres Farm<\/span><\/a> Wedding<\/span><\/h2>\n

We picked a venue<\/a> that spoke to us. With its romantic outdoor views and the beautiful florals by <\/span>Rooted Flowers<\/span><\/a>, many of our guests commented on how they could really feel the love between us. We also loved how awesome <\/span>our wedding vendors<\/span><\/a> were, how well they worked together, and how they brought our vision to life.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The Most Memorable Part Of The Day<\/span><\/h2>\n

For Emily, the most memorable part of the day was saying my written vows to Kimberly in front of all our family and friends. For Kim, the most memorable part was walking down through the garden towards Emily and then staring into her eyes as we read our vows. The clouds opened up and the sun literally started to shine on us as soon as she said my name. It was absolutely perfect.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A Personalized Ceremony<\/span><\/h2>\n

We actually put together the whole ceremony<\/a> ourselves. Our Justice of the Peace gave us examples of different ceremony styles. We picked parts from each of them that we liked and pieced them together to make it our own. We also <\/span>wrote our own vows<\/span><\/a>, which we highly recommend!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

DIY Wedding Decor<\/span><\/h2>\n

We made<\/a> the centerpieces and table numbers for the reception ourselves. For the centerpieces, we used different sized hurricane vases, added a candle, and a small amount of white rocks to each. The table numbers were glass frames where we used clear shellac to add on pressed ferns and greens. The numbers themselves were made with a Cricut. Our seating chart was also DIY<\/a>, which was two windows hinged together. We added the pressed greens with the shellac and hand-wrote the names of the guests at each table.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Working with Junebug Member <\/span>Elizabeth Grant Photography<\/span><\/h2>\n

Hiring <\/span>Elizabeth Grant<\/span><\/a> to capture our special day was one of the best decisions we made. We felt completely at ease knowing she was our photographer. As soon as she showed up, she became Kim’s rock, <\/span>not only acting as our photographer<\/span><\/a>, but serving in many different roles without skipping a beat. She was fun and made people feel comfortable, in fact, all our guests raved about her and her assistant afterward.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
