Georgia Wedding by Liz Banfield

There is something about a sweet, simple southern wedding that is just anything but simple. Because although it looks and feels like a quaint, laid back affair, you know hours and hours of thoughtfulness went into each bit of the day. It’s just the southern way, and I love that. Liz Banfield couldn’t have captured the feel of the day more perfectly. Every image is as sweet as this adorable couple, so kick off your shoes and get acquainted with all the sweetness in the full gallery.

From the Bride… We had a small wedding of only 35 guests, consisting of family and our closest friends. We wanted the wedding to feel comfortable and laid back for everyone, since the majority of us came from Atlanta.  We chose The Farmhouse Inn because of its openness, southern charm, and natural beauty.  It is a bed and breakfast located on farmland, with actual cows, chickens, goats, and a vegetable garden! Our immediate family members were able to stay with us at The Farmhouse Inn the night of the rehearsal.  The wedding ceremony was held on the brick patio, and the reception was held in the garden. We chose the garden because of its gorgeous lighting and quaintness.

We wanted to reflect our personalities in the wedding.  We like good, southern food, old fashioned sodas, vintage vases and pitchers, and old timey family photos.  The flowers were the most important focus of the wedding for us, so we spent a great deal of time choosing the colors and types we liked best (garden roses, peonies, babies breath, and ranunculus).  We chose to serve a strawberry shortcake to our guests, and have a mini-wedding cake for only Alex and I.  We needed to keep the wedding affordable, and with a little borrowing and lot of creativity, we were able to have our dream wedding (everything included) for under $13000.

   Love that cake! I am not the biggest fan of flowers on a cake just because it often look cheesy but this cake? Beautiful.

   This wedding has all the southern charm. I like weddings like this, because I can tell a lot of work has went into it, and the southern hospitality is well shown throughtout the whole wedding. Great looking couple, and I wish them all the happiness in the world.

   I love the outdoor-inspired theme - it is gorgeous! It has a rustic, warm feel, but still so refined and classic. I can only hope that my wedding will be this beautiful!

    What a lovely wedding. The sparklers are a great idea, and the table settings are just perfect. Lovely wedding for a clearly lovely couple.
