Real Wedding: Bonnie and Trevor

December 5th. 2008 by Abby Larson | Filed Under | 13 comments

I don’t talk much about myself here on SMP…I am so enamored with all of the stuff that you guys are doing, I tend to leave myself out of the mix. You guys know that I just had a little girl, Audrey. That I live in Boston. That I have the best job in the world. But, another little piece of my soul, that really helped to form who I am today…are the four years that I spent in Nashville, Tennessee going to college.

So of course, anytime I see a Nashville wedding, I am taken right back to those incredibly blissful days, where I just had to wake up in the morning to see my best girl friends, where we sat on a porch drinking lemonade (okay, not really lemonade but it sounds a little better that way), wasting the day away in the lazy Summer sun.

Today’s featured wedding is so wonderfully Southern, so perfectly Nashville. I just had to share!

From Bonnie, the gorgeous bride…

I got married in May on my parents farm where I grew up. We really wanted a creative & festive, southern affair with lots of personality. Plus I am a graphic designer so I designed the invitations and other details (more on the invitations in a bit).

Guests drove up the driveway greeted by “burma-shave” signs. My mother’s friend is an artist and created them for us – they were a huge hit! There were 6 signs…”Winding Road, Fresh Green Grass, Musicians Play, Oh Happy Day, To Wedding Vows, That Last”

more to come!

    How fun to get such nice comments. My dress was by Melissa Sweet and I actually had a seamstress in town make all the bridesmaid dresses. As you can tell - I was in a ruffle state of mind! cheers
