{Tell us a little bit about y’all!}
Austin and I are both from Vicksburg, Mississippi. I’m not sure the exact moment that we met, but we have known each other since we were in junior high school; we both went to Warren Central Junior High together. Austin and I stayed friends over the years, and we reconnected in college and then the rest is history! Austin went to MSU while I was in Nursing school. We got engaged after almost 2 years of dating. In October 2017, I thought we were going to dinner in downtown Vicksburg with Austin’s family as a going away for his brother who was joining the Marines. Instead, Austin to me took me to the perfect spot that overlooked the Mississippi River where there was a beautiful sunset. This is where he asked me to be his wife! It’s a very special spot to me not only because it is in our hometown, but because my Dad asked my Mom to marry him in the same location 23 years ago.

{What served as the main inspiration for planning your wedding?}
I wanted the theme of our wedding to be very classy and elegant. The BB Club in Vicksburg was the perfect venue for our big day. Both our wedding ceremony and the reception were both held at The BB Club. It’s such a beautiful, elegant building with so much history.I went with a more minimalist approach to the decor because the venue is so elegant all on its own.
{What was your favorite moment from your wedding day?}
My favorite moment was walking back up the aisle for the first time as husband and wife. That feeling of being surrounded by all of our friends and family in one room and the outpour of love is indescribable.

{What were some of your favorite details of your celebration}
We tried to include as many special details in our wedding as possible. One that was very close to my heart was the handkerchief that I carried wrapped around my bouquet that was my mother’s from her wedding day.
{Tell us about your flowers!}
I wanted soft toned colors and I have always loved white roses. My Pappy used to give me a dozen white roses after my dance recitals as a little girl! I also went with peach David Austin roses and pops of fresh lavender to compliment the bridesmaids’ dresses.

{What was your favorite part of the wedding planning process?}
My favorite part of wedding planning was spending quality time with my friends and family. One of my favorite memories is going to a bridal expose with my Mom where we found lots of vendors while drinking wine and taking photo-booth pictures.
{Do you have any tips for any other brides out there?}
DO NOT stress! That is easier said than done, but everything will fall into place in the end.
