Arkansas Wedding from PenWeddings + J.Bailey Occasions
With all the beautiful barn weddings coming from Arkansas lately, it might just be time for this farm nuptials-loving girl to take a trip to The Natural State. This wedding designed by J.Bailey Occasions makes us think it’s definitely the place to be! The Pratt Place Barn celebration has an abundance of personal touches the bride and groom created themselves, and I’m just as smitten as smitten can be, especially with that adorable 120 pound ring bearer. Spend some time taking this one in, and then get ready for a treat… PenWeddings was there to capture the entire event and has shared a stunning highlight film with us! After that, head to the gallery for more!

Pretty beautiful, don’t you think? Now here’s the cake-topper – a stunning highlight film from the ever talented PenWeddings.
Allison + Chris | Fayetteville, Arkansas Wedding Film by PenWeddings on Vimeo
Chris and I met and fell in love in Fayetteville while attending the University of Arkansas. Despite the fact that neither of us were originally from Fayetteville, we chose to get married there because it was so special to our relationship. We were immediately taken with the beautiful Pratt Place Barn, which is tucked away in woods, just minutes from campus.
We knew we wanted to have a simple affair, and our main goal was to create a fun, laid-back atmosphere for our guests. I really wanted our wedding to be memorable and to reflect our personalities. We were working on a pretty tight budget, so we tried to achieve a simple, rustic (yet modern), personalized wedding with do-it-yourself projects and Etsy.
We made a lot of non-typical choices, such as fun and modern wedding invitations and programs, homemade jelly and salsa for favors, a live marching band recessional, non-flower centerpieces, down-home Southern cuisine, and all of our DIY touches. And we included our beautiful 120 pound dog as our ring bearer! He was a big hit.
Amid all of the details that I loved, my favorite part of our wedding was the wording that made up our ceremony. We stayed true to ourselves with our ceremony, which we wrote start to finish (with the exception of our officiant’s opener). We integrated traditional and non-traditional elements, and we tried to communicate to our witnesses the way in which we were approaching our marriage. So overall, it was all of these personal touches that resulted in our perfect day!

Love that first picture! Great light!
O my goodness! The way they look at each other throughout the whole video- they are truly in love! What a gorgeous wedding-- the barn is to die for!!
Such a great wedding! I'm having a barn wedding and we are looking for chandeliers just like these! Where did you get them?
Getting married in October and cannot for the life of me find shoes I like. Where'd you find those flats?? Gorgeous affair!
Cheers,
*Heather*
I'm also getting married in October and my name is Heather as well. (So funny) I am going to be wearing bird cage veil. I was wondering did you make it or purchase it. It's the perfect shape! Please let me know. Wishing you a happy marriage!
Hi brides! I'll let Alli answer about her shoes & veil. They were adorable! The chandeliers are one if the best rustic, original details of the Barn. They're built in beauty for us!! Let us know if you have more questions!
Does anyone know the designer of the dress??
Kamie is right, Alli and Chris were so adorable all day long. I was going to answer Katy's question and saw Jenessa beat me to it. :-) Yep, the chandeliers are part of the barn. But I did come across these http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150522936959 when I was looking for chandeliers for a photo shoot. Haven't seen them in person, but love the look.
Love love love!
Hey I'm from Northwest Ar and getting married this September. I want to have green bridesmaid dresses, but I'm having a hard time finding them so I was wondering if you knew where she got the green dresses. Beautiful wedding and I love Pratt Place Barn!
Such a gorgeous wedding! Love all of the details . . . the birdcage veil, the flats, the bouquet, beautiful!
Such a lovely wedding. The couple look adorable and so happy. Silly question - what's the dog's name???
Beautiful! Where are the bridesmaids dresses from and the shoes? Love it!
What a beautiful wedding. I loved the whole relaxed theme of the day. shame you don't have the weather for that type of wedding in the UK.
Hi everyone! Thank you so much for your kind comments!! I wanted to take a minute to answer your questions, let me know if there are any others!
The dress designer is San Patrick...http://www.sanpatrick.com/
The shoes are brown suede Coach flats. I think that I bought them from either Dillards or Macys.
The birdcage veil came from the same place where I purchased my dress, Ida's Custom Veils in Overland Park, KS. I would definitely recommend a visit to Ida's if you're in the Kansas City area! http://www.idasbridalandtuxedos.com/
The bridesmaids dresses came from a seller on Etsy, Cherry Pie Vintage (http://www.etsy.com/shop/cherrypievintage ). The dress I wanted was originally made in a cotton eyelet fabric (http://www.etsy.com/listing/61195720/the-darling-dress ), so I went online to find a silk fabric from Silk Baron (http://www.silkbaron.com/silk/ ). I picked the fabric and had it sent to the Etsy seller...that's the great thing about Etsy, the sellers are almost always willing to change their product to make sure it is exactly what you want! Plus, she made each dress to each girl's measurements, which meant minimal alterations for them.
Our dog's name is Baxter. He is a 4 year old Great Pyrenees :)
Let me know if you have any other questions... I loved all of my vendors, so I'm always excited to brag on them!
I think homemade salsa and jam as wedding favours is a great idea. A personal touch the guests will appreciate. Cas.
Such an ADORABLE video!! Congrats! :)
Love this video!!! Great wedding:)
Where are the bridesmaid dresses from? I love the bow
@Meggo, the bridesmaid dresses are from an Etsy vendor, Cherry Pie Vintage. Check out Allison's comment above for the link!
