This past weekend’s wedding at The Mill at Yellow River was simply amazing. Ashley & Zach’s wedding was so full of joy and grace. Being around the two of them is such a sweet reminder of precious, true love! From the moment Ashley began walking down the aisle until the end of the evening, Zach was so attentive to his sweet bride. I was so grateful to be a part of this couple’s day & absolutely loved to see how they incorporated their story and their favorite people! Their love was so apparent and sense of adventure showed through. Ashley & her bridesmaids were barefoot for most of the day – and I even handed off my shoes to Ashley for a bit when we ventured to the rocks by the river! With a nod to the jungle (the couple first met in Nicaragua!) and a hint of sparkle, the decor for the day was beautiful! With quite a few out of town guests, Southern food was a welcomed addition alongside Ashley’s favorite: a cookie cake from Great American Cookie Company. Finally, the evening finished out with an amazing dance (and sing-along) party! I saw quite a few “hand mics” out at the reception.

All the blessings for this sweet couple as they adventure Italy, Spain & Greece for their honeymoon! How amazing is that! I can’t wait to see all that is in store for you two, Ashley & Zach! Thank you for inviting me to be a part of your day! 

And a huge thank you to Carats & Cake for the gorgeous feature of Ashley & Zach’s big day!
