Rustic Wedding with Details Galore!
I tend to fall head over heels for anything that Our Labor of Love sends me. And this wedding, shot by the hugely talented Kendrick Brinson and David Walter Banks for Our Labor of Love, is no exception. It’s one of those blissfully romantic weddings where the thought and planning that went into the day shines so brightly, so beautifully. Plus, the bride Jamie, used SMP as inspiration which generally makes me grin from ear to ear.
From the lovely, lovely bride…
Bryan and I spent almost a week looking all around the greater Asheville area for a wedding site. We originally envisioned a large house with a big tree but when we drove onto Claxton Farm and saw the tobacco barn and the field surrounded by the blue ridge, we knew we had found our spot. We just loved how the mountains surrounded us on all sides and how the large wood planks of the barn allowed the sunlight to stream in.
Bryan and I decided not to see each other the day of the wedding until I walked down the aisle. I went to the site early with my immediate family. I absolutely LOVED walking onto the site hours before any of the guests arrived. I was able to wander and enjoy every little detail, and be so grateful to all the wonderful people who made it happen. Then my sister and I got to hide in a little room, drink champagne, and peek through the window as the guests arrived. Walking through the field to my beloved B, with all our family and friends, and my parents at my side actually made me cry, the space was so beautiful and full of love. B gave me a big smooch and dipped me at the end. We had sort of planned it (there’s a history of dipping) but got a little excited and almost fell over! It was hilarious and so much fun. We read our vows from our Ketubah and B stomped on the glass. The kiddush cup was my grandfathers, which had been used in my parents and my sisters wedding.

My heart definitely went pitter patter at the sight of those peep toe wedges! Can't wait to see more!!
Dress is P.O.B - Reverie STYLE MYKONOS
Hello everyone! Thank you for such sweet comments! Bryan and I had such a wonderful time. Rachel's post nailed it. The dress was POB Reverie and was so very wonderful to wear! It is super comfortable and just has the most amazing shape to it. It wasn't too heavy and i could dance all night in it! I wish I could have an excuse to wear it again! The rhinestone shoes our little niece wore are made by China Doll and were found online. Hope that helps! Again, thank you for letting me relive the details.

Love this! Miss Pickles Press officially has become my favorite designer. If any brides would like free printables from her, she just shared some here: http://bit.ly/2kw4cF !
Hey all. The wedges are the Betsy Johnson Foster wedge. I loved wearing them in the ceremony, and so did my sisters, but they are definitely SUPER high. I changed into ankle boots with a little heel for the party.
Your wedding dress is simply gorgeous. I love the way your hair and make-up was done. I love the flower girl's shoes too, very pretty and cute!!!
