Ashley and Rob's Southern Farm Wedding

Ashley and Rob had their dream wedding this past November. The private residence which also serves as a working farm was the perfect location for this joyous occasion. As I mentioned in my "sneak peek" post of this wedding, it was one of my absolute favorite weddings that I have coordinated. I had such a blast working with Ashley and her parents on every last detail....I almost felt like part of their family. It was so heartwarming to see how involved both of Ashley's parents were throughout the planning process. What a perfect wedding day for such a perfect couple. Best wishes to Ashley and Rob!

The wedding ceremony took place in front of a beautiful lake in the middle of the property. Ashley and her father's grand entrance on a vintage horse and carriage was one of the many tricks we had up our sleeves. Ashley and Rob's favorite song- Lullaby by the Dixie Chicks, made her entrance even more emotional and meaningful. Rob's father, who is a pastor, officiated the ceremony.

This wedding was all about the details! As guests entered the reception area, they were asked to write a little note to the new Mr. and Mrs. on a vintage Lakeland postcard, which were collected in a mailbox nearby. Guests were also treated to a photo booth with an endless supply of silly props to choose from. The cookie and milk favors were a huge hit with both the children as well as the adults. Rob was truly surprised and completely "in awe" with his grooms cake that showcased his two favorite hobbies: The Atlanta Braves and playing the drums. After dining on the most delicious food and dancing under the stars, the celebration was concluded with a spectacular firework show (another surprise to the guests). Ashley and Rob departed in style in a vintage hot rod car.
