It’s only appropriate that we’re sharing Blackberry Beauty the week of Thanksgiving, because believe it or not, Thanksgiving was a prime source of inspiration for this berry-filled shoot! We loved the idea of a wedding centering around some of the same things we love most about Thanksgiving–family and close friends, delicious food, and a few tasty desserts in starring roles.

Hugs to Lauren Kinsey for these beautiful images, and to The Strickland House and Eden Gardens for the beautiful setting!

This sweet invitation is one of our favorite details–it’s a personal, handwritten note from the parents of the bride. Clearly, they’re smitten with their future son-in-law!

We couldn’t have a blackberry shoot without including the sweet berry in our florals! Blue Ribbon Vendor Myrtie Blue did a beautiful job incorporating them into the arrangements.

Doesn’t the food on this menu sound divine? Framed by this gorgeous wreath, the menu itself is also quite a showstopper.

Such a beautiful table! The purple glass and flowers tied to the darling chair covers are a few of my personal favorite details, but it really is all stunning.

We love sparkler exits as much as anyone, but oh my stars, this firework exit is nothing short of magical!

We’d love to know, what’s your favorite detail from Blackberry Beauty?

Like our Family Heirlooms shoot, this editorial looks like a good time was had by all, doesn’t it? You just want to jump right in to the photos! Having a band on hand will do that, and a band was most definitely necessary for this story, where everything was inspired by the sweet song of the South. We are SO lucky that Nancy Ray, Amber Housley, and Cedarwood Weddings (all Blue Ribbon Vendors!) collaborated on this gem… please enjoy!

Amber put together a wedding weekend welcome pack to rival the Savannah version in our Generations Past editorial! These goodies are all Nashville or Tennessee favorites.

This team did such a great job incorporating crafty ideas while still maintaining a clean and cohesive look over all. Love the boutonnieres made out of sheet music!

Oh my word, this wreath is a stunner, isn’t it? I was immediately smitten. With it as the centerpiece of your ceremony, I don’t think you’d need any other decoration.

Speaking of showstoppers, these little belles and beaus definitely qualify. All five are the nieces and nephews of photographer Nancy Ray — we love that they were able to incorporate actual family into the day!

I’m sure the music from those triplet drummers was just lovely, but there was a real bluegrass band on hand, too — Jace Aaron and the Ranchers.

A pretty drink station is such a good idea for cocktail hour. It doesn’t have to be fancy, either — thyme sprigs dress up lemonade in simple glasses just beautifully!

We’re all about creative guest books, and this album is an especially good idea. It would look striking framed on the wall in a newlywed home!

I can’t get over this cake table — that patterned linen makes such a splash! Even if you don’t have the budget for custom linens, splurging on just one for a focal point can make a big impact. And I’d consider buying instead of renting, too. That way, you’ll have a special piece that reminds you of your wedding to bring out for special occasions for years to come!

We’d love to hear: What’s your favorite part of this editorial? I adore the ceremony wreath and everything about the cake and its table!

    Oh my goodness, I would absolutely cherish a banjo (or any object) from a late Grandparent!

  3. avatar Linda at Cedarwood Weddings reply

    We feel blessed to be part of this gorgeous project with some good friends! The banjo was actually handmade my late father, and seeing it in Southern Weddings V6 brings joy to our family — our Dad would be so proud.

    Lemonade drink is part of the wedding theme, love it!!

  5. avatar Alexandra | Foiled Invitations reply

    The ceremony wreath is killing it, but I think the little drummer boys steal the show. Adorable.
