We could not be happier to share with you all this stunning brunch wedding for Gracie and Harden! Every single moment and detail was perfectly planned for these two, and their day was really a beautiful celebration of their love.

Love Story

Gracie and Harden are a couple of the most delightful people around, along with their families. Truly, they were such a treat to have in the venue. One of the coolest parts of working wedding days is hearing from friends and family how our couples came to be. From what we heard, Gracie and Harden met in middle school and have been together ever since! All of their siblings were in the wedding party, and every single person there couldn’t hold in how much they loved them. It was pretty darn magical to see.

A Destination Brunch Wedding

Every single wedding day is special and unique, but there are definitely some elements of Gracie and Harden’s that stand out! Number one is that all of them are from Mississippi! Gracie and Harden decided they wanted a small, intimate, destination wedding. So, they packed up their friends and family and made the trek out to the French Farmhouse. This was SO fun to hear, and even cooler that they decided to make a weekend out of it.

The other stand-out feature of their wedding day is that they decided to have a brunch ceremony. This definitely made for an early morning, especially for the ladies, but it was an absolute blast. They had Catered Roots out to bring breakfast for the wedding party, and then they cooked brunch for everyone. Complete with an omelette station and a pancake station. Let us tell you, the spread was a major crowd-pleaser.

 

Congratulations Gracie and Harden! We are so happy for you!

Everyone, meet Kenny and Cathleen Head! Two of the nicest people around, who had one of the most special days at the French Farmhouse. You are going to LOVE the pops of color and how much love was spread throughout this day. It was stunning.

 

Details, Details, Details 

The beauty is in the details, we really mean it! Any small touch that you can add to make the day more “you” will really send your wedding day over the top. Plus, your guests will notice that it is a piece of you. It is always fun to see the “detail shots” from our couple’s wedding days. For Cathleen, we get to see her shoes, ring, florals and invitations. For Kenny, it was his ring, his shoes and his watch. Classic and simple. One day when their kids, nieces or nephews find their wedding album, they will see Kenny’s watch and Cathleen’s ring and know how special it was to the beginning of this chapter of their lives.

 

Special Moments

One thing we have been loving is the “First Touch.” This goes in place of a first look, and is a great way to have a private moment together, without doing the “big reveal!” This is a super special way to take a minute, breathe together, and chat before you see each other, but still have that big moment when the doors open for the bride to walk down the aisle.

 

The new Mr. and Mrs. Bradshaw had a wedding to write home about!! Mary Gracen and Zachary had one of the most beautiful days, and they really filled it to the brim with love and as much laughter as they could. Let us tell you, these two are FUN and really made a point to embrace their wedding day and have the best time possible!!

Brides Just Wanna Have Fun!

We weren’t joking when we said that these two were a blast, and really made time for fun on their day. Mary Gracen was all smiles from the minute she got to the Venue with her girls, and at one point was jumping for joy on the bridal suite couch. She even got her squad in on the action, and you could hear them laughing from a mile away. Those are, truly, some of the moments we love most!! Everyone making the most of their time together is one of the best parts of the wedding day magic.

On top of that, everywhere you looked there was something unique to the Bradshaw’s. Like Mary Gracen’s cool dog socks and her boots! Those tiny things are the pieces of the day that put your personality into it!

Wedding Day Life Hacks

To say we are obsessed with the Bradshaw’s florals is a major understatement! They really went all out, and had some STUNNING arrangements. One thing we love that they did was repurpose the floral arrangements from their ceremony at the reception. All of the big vases and even the tower pieces from the altar were repurposed and given a new home for everyone to enjoy at the reception.

There is nothing quite like getting the party going after being at the venue all day! It is crazy how much crowds love things like glow sticks and hats for the dance floor. It is a surefire way to get people out there, moving and grooving.

Congratulations Mary Gracen and Zachary!! We couldn’t be happier for you, or more thankful that you are a Farmhouse Couple!
