This beautiful Tennessee wedding from Shannon Kelley Photography has some gorgeous handmade elements! Here are a few tidbits from Shannon Kelley about this wedding…
This wedding was the most perfect wedding I have ever photographed. It was a perfect day, perfect schedule, and the bride and groom were literally so excited just to be getting married. They were so in love. Caroline went above and beyond in planning the wedding, it was held at Maple Grove Inn, an old plantation house. The florist is a lady who works at a local farmers market and has her own garden and farm that she uses in some of her design. The bride handmade most of the crafts – letters hanging from trees, tissue paper pomanders, luminaries, wedding program scrolls, drink stirrers, etc. They also donated all of the flowers to Random Acts of Flowers, which is a non-profit org. that picked up the flowers the next morning, and re-arranges them into bouquets to be dropped off at nursing homes, hospices and hospitals.
This whole wedding sounds so sweet- let’s see, shall we? :)
(I was going to split up the post here and make it into 2 parts, but I just don’t feel like it today- I would rather share another wedding later! :) So this post is going to be a little long!)
How CUTE was that little cake topper (or whatever it was) with their doggie in the back?! Love the drink stirrers too- those are such a great detail that add a lot to the overall design of everything! A big thank you to Shannon Kelley Photography for sharing this wedding with us! :)

Oh there's so much I love about this wedding, the least of which is that awesome peony and fiddlehead bouquet. I also love the gown and all the fun little DIY details. What a find!Katie | Invitations by Ajalon:
