{Bride} Meagan Nicole Winborn
{Groom} William Brett Adams
{Hometowns} Meridian, MS / Brandon, MS
{Wedding Site} The South Warehouse, Jackson, MS
{Reception Site} The South Warehouse, Jackson, MS
{How did the two of you meet?}
We met through a mutual friend, who is one of Brett’s best friends. Our first actual meeting was at Chili’s… yes, Chili’s. I know, how do you top that?
{What is your proposal story?}
We were visiting a friend in Charlotte, North Carolina. We decided to extend our vacation by a couple of days and traveled to Charleston, South Carolina. We spent the first night exploring downtown and decided to spend our last day of the trip on Folly Beach. We ate dinner on Sullivan’s Island. After dinner, we took a walk down the beach where Brett got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. It was really sweet and I was completely surprised.
Seeing as how I diva'd out that morning & insisted we drive around 20 minutes to find a parking spot so that we could eat breakfast at a particular restaurant, where Brett then found a big black hair in his food… I’m just thankful he still asked me to marry him some odd hours later J
{What inspired your wedding and reception locations?}
Knowing that I could have the ceremony and reception in the same place was all it took for me. I also really love that The South is so transformable. Literally, every vision I had of my wedding day fit in perfectly with the venue.
{What inspired your color scheme/theme/flowers?}
Well there were 2 things I knew for sure: I knew exactly how I wanted the ceremony to look & I knew I wanted my bridesmaids to all have different colored neutral dresses. From that, everything else just came to life. That is also where I stop taking credit for anything. I had an awesome wedding planner and an awesome florist; I gave them free reign to do their thing. After all, weddings are their jam. I showed them pictures of things I loved, but I ultimately left it in their hands. Best decision ever.
{How did you pick “the dress?”}
Well, I knew that I wanted a ball gown dress (because come on… when do you ever get to dress up like Cinderella again and get away with it?). That was really all I knew though. I tried on at least 20 dresses; I know, I had to be the most frustrating bride to deal with. BUT when I walked out of the dressing room in “the dress” I just knew “Yes. This. This is it.”
{What’s your favorite unique accessory? Is there a story behind it?}
I wouldn’t necessarily say accessories are my thing (my credit card bill might disagree with that). However, I did really love my wedding shoes. They were bright blue Vince Camuto pumps.
{What was your favorite part of the wedding planning process?}
Honestly, realizing that it wasn’t about the planning was my favorite part of the whole process. At first, I really stressed myself out trying to figure out how I was going to make everything “perfect;” I had Vera Wang taste on a Target budget.
It was in my first wedding planning meeting that I realized I just couldn’t afford to have our wedding on a Saturday. With my head hung, I text Brett saying “I’m good with a Sunday wedding if you are.” He replied: “I’m good with Tuesday”. (I still have that message saved in my phone; it was The Office, Jim/Pam mental picture, for sure).
