{How did the two of you meet?}
We lived across the street from each other sophomore year in college. My house had 6 girls and his house had 4 guys. We all became best friends and Adam and I decided we liked each other a little more than that about half way through the school year. We have been together ever since- that was 7 years ago!
{What is your proposal story}
We planned to go on a cruise over Christmas break. I wasn’t suspecting a thing because he told me we wouldn’t get engaged until he finished school- a year later. He popped the question on the ship. It was so much fun to get to come home and tell our friends and family!
{What inspired your wedding and reception locations?}
We wanted something unique that no one we knew had used before. We also really wanted everything to be in the same location to minimize driving and hassle for everyone involved. McClain Lodge gave us all of those things.
{What inspired your color scheme/theme/flowers?}
I picked the emerald green because it reminded me of that vibrant vintage green color that I love so much. We decided on mint green first and I decided to add in the emerald once I found the bridesmaid dresses. I knew I wanted gold accents because I wanted the wedding to be more vintage and eclectic without being too casual and rustic. I used lots of greenery and coral accents with the flowers because it paired really well with the emerald and mint. I also used tons of succulents and air plants because they are my favorite! As far as a theme, I just wanted it to be very eclectic and personal.
{How did you pick “the dress?”}
I went to Lows Bridal in Arkansas. I picked the dress in one day. I knew with the wide selection they had I would leave feeling like I had seen just about everything there is to see. After I chose the dress, I stopped looking because I am the type to change my mind a million times! My mom and mother in law both 100% knew it was the dress as soon as I walked out too.
{What’s your favorite unique accessory?}
Is there a story behind it? I wore some earrings made from cufflinks that had been in our family a really long time- that was my something old!
{What was your favorite part of the wedding planning process?}
I styled my own wedding. Every centerpiece, table, and area of the wedding and reception(aside from the flowers) were things that I had collected at thrift stores, antique malls and estate sales over the 16 months we were engaged ( I had plenty of time!). I really enjoyed being able to put small touches that were unique to us everywhere during the day. I also enjoyed going on digging trips with my mom and sister to collect all the items during the engagement- we went all over the state!
{Besides the actual wedding, what was your favorite moment of the wedding day?}
It was definitely when Adam saw me for the first time. I could tell he was nervous and we had been together so long it was really fun to see him nervous around me again. We read letters to each other at that point too and I had anticipated what his would say so it was fun to get to hear it for the first time.
{What was your favorite surprise detail/moment about your wedding day?}
We didn’t really have any hiccups or surprises on the day but that was just perfect for me. The weather was perfect, everything went smoothly and despite my decorating the whole wedding I made it through with minimal stress. It definitely is a day that I would love to relive over and over!
