This is the kind of reception that we want to jump right into! Delicious food, fun photo both time, fabulous music and dancing, boiled peanuts, oh my! Entertainment by {Sir Laurence and 1st Class}. The event was catered by {Five and Ten} of Athens. Cupcakes by {Fountain of Juice} and wedding cake was created by {The Grit Athens}. Check out more of Lily + Jordan’s wedding on A Bryan’s {Blog} (which has a really fun interview with the couple) & {Gallery}. Thanks a million to the A Bryan men for sending this inspiring wedding our way. Be sure to watch the movie below…
Favorite design element of your big day: The large colorful paper umbrellas borrowed from my cousin and the “lounge” area at the reception.
Describe your wedding cake: A good friend Katie at a local Athens vegetarian restaurant, The Grit, made our wedding cake. It free of MOST things found in cake due to Jordan’s many allergies. It was actually delicious (and I don’t usually enjoy cake)!! We had cupcakes for our guests from a local Macon soup and sandwich shop, The Fountain of Juice. They had been a small obsession of Mom’s and now I know why!!
Our favorite detail of the wedding was: Most definitely the groomsmen’s shoes!! And the photo booth!! OH and the unique invites and programs designed by my talented hubby.
Funniest moment? Jordan: Haha. We left our marriage license in Lily’s car, forgetting that it would be taken to our hotel in the afternoon. About 45 minutes before the ceremony we realized we didn’t have it and we couldn’t start the ceremony without it! Everyone was asking me where it was but only Lily knew where it was and she was (obviously) busy. It was insane! Luckily there was a very nice police officer who raced with his blue lights flashing to our hotel downtown to get the license.
What advice would you give to someone planning their wedding? Fill your day with personal touches. Design and plan your wedding according to the things that you and your love LOVE!
Best advice or most memorable comment someone made to you during the wedding celebration. Jordan: I wish I could remember any one thing from that night. It was so insane, so much love and fun and laughter. I remember people’s faces and how much fun they were having and how happy they were to be celebrating Lily and me. Therefore mine is neither advice nor memorable comment but a short amount of time between the groomsmen pictures and the ceremony where my best man (who is also my bff of going on 13 years) and I snuck off for a few minutes and he just prayed for me. It was an incredible, intimate moment in the midst of an enormous celebration. Through this event the advice I received was to make sure that I stay focused, making sure that my faith is at the center of my love for Lily and for our future together.
What’s next for you as a couple? LIVIN’ LOVIN’ and HAVIN’ FUN!!
