There is a huge grin on my face this morning thanks to this spring-inspired soiree by Lauren F. Liddell Photography. It just makes me want to find the gorgeous Mississippi field where this wedding took place and twirl around Sound of Music style. The sweet details, gorgeous flowers and vintage vases are divine, and may I just say I L.O.V.E that the bride rocked her spectacles on her big day. So fabulous. So although I won’t be twirling in Mississippi anytime soon, I will be spending my day twirling in this lovely post and its full gallery of images, and I highly advise you do the same…

From the Bride…My inspiration for the day was nature and springtime, I wanted the wedding to have a happy relaxed feel. My favorite part of the day is a tie, I loved the ceremony, being surrounded by those closest to us and having them witness us dedicate our lives to each other was so special, but I also loved riding away with Drew on the golf cart because it felt like the start of a big adventure. My advice for brides: There are a million beautiful options out there as far as dresses, venues, decorations, etc. Try to always let your decisions reflect who you are as a couple. Also keep in mind that you will not be able to please everyone, no matter how hard you try.
Flower colors were yellow, creme, and white and included bitty balls, ranunculus, and monte casino to provide a “wildflower” theme. Seated tables at the reception were covered with burlap. Centerpieces were bubble bowls filled with a wildflowers in fold up twig stands. The menu for the reception included macaroni and cheese served in ramekins, cornbread muffins with black-eyed pea salsa, baby BLT’s, baby barbeque sandwiches, baby banana puddings in small glass containers, crawfish souffle with toasted bread rounds, watermelon slices with the rind on, and water with lemon, sweet tea, and yellow lemonade served in mason jars. Tree stumps were used on the banana pudding table and the wedding cake table. A moss covered column was the centerpiece on the main food table
My mom and I collected bottles for the grouping on the mantel and Wendy provided the yellow, creme, and white flowers. Mason jars tied with twine to the white wedding chairs were filled with yellow, creme, and white flowers and used for pew markers. We tied bottles to the rafters on either side of the fireplace mantel and Wendy provided flowers for those.

The cake is simply radiant! I love the fresh flowers and all the texture. Unusual, but tasteful (pun entirely accidental).
Also love the bride in glasses!
Oh my. I loooove brides in glasses, and this one is no exception! She totally rocked them and looks so sophisticated!
Adorable! I absolutely love the bright yellow and the mantel arrangements are perfect! Yellow and aqua-glass= perfect!
And ditto to the bride in glasses. I love that!
Petite Fleur: Simple. Fresh. Organic. Wedding Florals.
I am absolutely in love with the groomsmen's suits. An ivory weddin gown with grey suits for a summer wedding is perfect. And from where did she get that belt?!! Oh! Great post, what a beautiful wedding.
I love everything about this wedding! Especially the bridesmaid's cardigans :) So sweet!
A question for the bride: Did you have 3 offical bridesmaids and then the additional girls were "guests of honor", "attendants", "girls of honor", etc.? I am wanting to do the same sort of thing in my wedding by only asking my two sisters to be Bridemaids but I really want to honor my closests girlfriends in a special way as well. Could you share more about this? Thanks so much! Your wedding was beautiful! :)
So excited to see a bride in her glasses!! I'll be rocking my purple plastic frames on my wedding day too!
Love the inspiration and execution of this wedding!
Oh, also do you know where the bride's head piece is from?
Could you please tell me who made the gorgeous dress?
Where is the sash from? Its amazing.
So honored to be featured on Style Me Pretty :) Thank you so much!

i live in jackson! so good to see a mississippi bride :) i have no idea where this field is? what is it called and where is it?
I love the groomsmen suits and am also looking for grey suits for my wedding. Where are they from? Beautiful wedding!
So thrilled to see a bride in glasses! She looks fab!
Thank you so much for the sweet comments! The dress is Pronovias, the headpiece is Mignon Handmade (on Etsy), the belt is Les Accessoires. And Jessalyn, I did have 3 bridesmaids (my cousins and new sister in law) and my friends were honorary bridesmaids- They were escorted down by the groomsmen and then had a row right behind my parents/grandparents.
I'm getting married tomorrow and seeing another bride look so beautiful in glasses has really made me feel so happy that I did not choose contact lenses! Thank you for sharing these amazing photos and inspiring other glasses wearing brides!
These photos are beautiful!! In fact everything about the wedding was beautiful. One of the prettier weddings I have seen in a long time. Colors and setting - just breath taking. Thank you for sharing!
The entire wedding was so sweet and gorgeous. Where did you get your shoes? How makes them?
Beautiful and charming. I also used yellow flowers with accents of gray (http://vimeo.com/26702956 ). The groomsmen were in light gray suits which was just perfect for a hot summer wedding.
I loved your wedding Anna Claire!! I was so honored to be apart of it, i love you.
