I kid ya'll not I got in the car
this morning and (my pre-set being on XM's Prime Country haha) Mark Chestnut's
"It Sure is Monday" came on. Normally I don't mind Monday's- start of
a new week, Bachelor wine night to look forward too, etc. but today I woke up
around 4am with a POUNDING sinus headache. The kind of sinus headache where you
literally hit yourself and try to apply pressure to remotely feel better. (so
much for sleep) I'm thinking it may be the weather changing from cold to warm
so much lately...boo. Claritin has been consumed so let's pray that
helps.
Anyway, enough with my Monday rant,
today I wanted to share with ya'll a super cute local magazine and blog that
decided to feature our wedding! I love that it just came out since we are about
to hit our "married for 6 months mark" and it is so fun getting to
relive the big day. Hill City Bride decided to do a print feature with a
Q&A with me about planning an 'at-home wedding' and also did a blog web
feature. If you want ya'll can check it out here:
Everyday Wedding – Seth & Jessi
I am so excited to share today’s
wedding with you! Some of the photos that I will be posting in the next few
weeks are ones that I have been holding on to for two reasons… one was because
I was saving posts for when the new blog went live, and the other is because I
was waiting for the wedding issue of clutch to go to print! I know
many of you don’t have an actual copy of our wedding issue in hand yet, but
until then you can head here to take a peek at a copy online.
This lovely wedding takes place at
the home of the Jessi’s parents, and believe it or not (I love this part!)
Jessi’s parents were married under that exact same tree. I wonder how much the
tree has grown in that amount of time? The pops of yellow and aqua coupled with
the perfect weather make this wedding so bright and happy. Jessi actually
picked aqua because Seth jokingly asked for a hue that would make his “baby
blues” pop, and the lemon color was the perfect accent.
Personalized details such as the
letters on the tree and the monogrammed necklace (what a great gift idea for a
bride with her new initials!) add a special touch to this outdoor wedding
photographed by Visions by Heather Photography. I hope it makes
you swoon as much as I did when I saw it! To let you in on a little secret,
Jessi herself is also a wedding planner, and her own wedding showcases her
lovely talents. Enjoy this stunning wedding today!
As a sidebar, we asked Jessi a few things
that her family had to do in order to get their home ready for a
wedding. I know what I have to do at times just to get ready for company
let alone a full wedding. Here are some of the things that they did to
get their home and property in order:
- repainted the exterior
- landscaped both the front and back yards
- installed new gravel
- refinished the driveway
- roped off fields for parking
- planted bushes, flowers and trees that would bloom in time for the August wedding
- researched when to cut the grass so it would be the perfect height
If you would like to read more about the story of Jessi and Seth’s wedding just click
