Lydia + Lonny's Smith's Grove Wedding

From the Bride: One thing that I loved was our photo op wall- it was a wall full of white roses that I actually made myself (with the help of my awesome bridesmaid Natalie). I found the idea on TikTok several months before our wedding and ordered the supplies needed for the wall. It took many hours and the rose wall had over 3000 roses glued individually on it. It turned out perfect with the addition of our neon sign for our guests to take pictures in front of. Another thing we did at our reception was a champagne tower- Lonnie and I did this after the cake cutting and dances and it was something I really loved and made for some cute photos we can cherish forever! We danced our first dance to “Joy Of My Life” by Chris Stapleton. Anything that I brought to my wedding coordinator/planner/florists attention- Alexis, she made it unfold beautifully. Every inch of the floral work was exactly what I wanted. A timeless look is what I was going for with the white roses, baby’s breath, and eucalyptus. I was speechless that night reflecting on how perfectly everything turned out that day and was well worth the months of planning that went into our day.

Bride’s Advice: A piece of advice that I would give someone that really helped with planning our wedding was contacting all of the vendors that we knew we really wanted to be a part of our day and see which date aligned for each and then decide on a date. When we initially started planning our wedding we weren’t set in stone on a specific date so having flexibility with our date allowed us to have all of our top picks for vendors to be a part of our special day.
