We loved this bride and groom and their spirited wedding party. The week of the wedding we discovered it was going to be a wet weekend and we needed to fully cover not only the reception are, but also needed to tent the ceremony space. We appreciated that Farish trusted our team to make the right decisions and in the end we loved our ceremony setup even more than the original plan. Farish and Bud wanted a beautiful boho wedding and a fun reception filled with lots of dancing and that’s just what they got. We love looking at these photos and these happy smiles.
Cheers to Farish and Bud!
Tell us your story.
Bud and I met at the University of South Alabama in 2012. We did not start dating until the spring of 2013. We were both athletes at south so the first few years of our relationship were spent at a softball or baseball field. We graduated in May of 2015 and although we did distance for a few months we have been pretty inseparable ever since we met. Bud popped the question on Christmas day in 2017 and we finally tied the knot in May 2019. Hands down one of best and most fun days of my life!
What was your favorite part of the planning process?
Favorite part of planning would have to be hiring Jenna and her team. The planning process was such a breeze. They really took the time to understand what we wanted and made everything happen. Could not have done it without her and her team!
What was your vision for the wedding?
I wanted a very natural and neutral color pallet with beachy and boho vibe! I had always envisioned a big party and I think that we definitely pulled that off!
What was your favorite detail of the wedding?
It is so hard to choose just one of my favorite details from the wedding as every part and detail of the day completely blew me away! We had some weather that came through so Jenna took and ran with plan B. The ceremony arch and the arrangements at the end of each row were absolutely beautiful and we were able to reuse the arrangements to line the stage that our band played on at the reception. I also loved how unique all of our center pieces were! I honestly had no idea how they would turn out and they were absolutely amazing! Another detail that I was in awe over was the pampas grass wreath that hung behind our cake. I could go on and on as every detail was better than I could have ever imagined.
What was your favorite moment of the day?
One of my favorite parts of the day was walking down the aisle with my dad and seeing my future hubby standing at the end. I completely lost control and started bawling. SO many strong emotions! The next best part of the day was dancing all night long with all of our guest!! We have the most fun family and friends so it was a blast!!
If you could give advice to another bride in the process of planning her wedding what would it be?
RELAX!! I think that its very easy to get caught up in the planning of this “perfect day” but one thing I tried to do throughout the process is to remember what this day represents. Regardless of what happens you will get married and it will be the best day of your life because you are getting to marry the man/woman that you love so much! Plus.. trust your planner.. chances are they know what they are talking about! Ha!
