I am so in LOVE with today's Real Wedding feature from Anna Bella Charles {fine art photography}. Not only is the bride's dress absolutely stunning, but the soft color palette of peach and yellow is gorgeous. Just perfect for a summer wedding in Tennessee. I'm loving the location of their garden ceremony and wait until you see the flowers - they're perfection. As is their calligraphed wedding invitation and wedding fans for the guests.

I'm loving today's rustic bridal session from Amanda Hill Photography that took place in beautiful Mynelle Gardens in Jackson, Mississippi. Robert, Jessica's now husband, even joined her on the shoot for a sweet photo. The brides dress is from a boutique in Laurel, MS called Mimi's Bridal. Isn't it beautiful? Oh, and that gorgeously sweet bouquet? The bride made it herself . . . AMAZING!!!!!!

Today's beautiful wedding was photographed by Shanell of Bledsoe Photography. The bride is a National Guard Reserve member which led to the red, white and blue wedding theme. The wedding took place over Memorial Day Weekend so this color combination was a perfect fit. The bride and groom, Morgan and Michael, stayed at the Holiday Inn Opryland after their initial wedding hotel got flooded. Just a little something extra about the wedding that I thought was so special and unique - for their ceremony, the guitarist learned an acoustic version of Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer" for the bridesmaids/groomsmen processional. And, when the rain comes, why not have the cocktail hour first? That's exactly what Morgan and Michael did. Their cocktail hour was held in a decorated rustic barn before the outdoor ceremony due to a rain delay.

Thank you so much Shanell for sharing today's gorgeous Memorial Day weekend wedding of Morgan and Michael with my readers today. To see more from Shanell, please visit her web site and blog.

Today's super sweet wedding of Jacqueline and Michael was photographed by Amy Campbell of Angela Anderson Photography and was planned in just 4 1/2 months as the bride and groom were moving to Nevada for Michael's work. Since Jacqueline was finishing up with law school in NC, she didn't see the venue in person until two days before the wedding. But, as you will see, Jacqueline didn't have anything to worry about as the venue, Cellar One, was gorgeous with the courtyard for the ceremony and the exposed brick for the reception. Everything for the wedding was planned over the phone and via email for the photos that her planner would send. As you will see when looking at the photos, there were many personal touches incorporated into the wedding that made it super special not only for the bride and groom, but for their guests too. Including, their monogrammed ring boxes that the bride's brother-in-law carved for her nephews to carry as ring bearers.

Since Michael is a minister, they choose to serve communion themselves to their guests.

After they were married, Jacqueline wanted to go to Vanderbilt University for their couple photos since they met there. The building below is actually the building they met in. Don't you just love the architecture?

At the end of the night, Jacqueline and Michael stepped out for a few amazing photos, such great lighting.

And, the couple left their reception in Michael's family antique Mustang.
