Make a List And Check it Twice

From the Bride: Honestly, there is not one thing I wish I had done differently on the day of the wedding. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day! If i could have slowed the hands of time down a bit that would have been nice. Time seemed to fly that day! I am extremely detail oriented, I had a notebook full of "lists". My best friend and I checked the lists off 2 days before the wedding so there was nothing to worry about.

A Photographers Dream

From Freestone Photography: We love a bride with who loves color, has great attention to detail, and appreciates the goodness of a southern fall wedding! Kori's ivory lace dress and Chip's navy blue & gingham suit among the late fall foliage made this photographer so happy! The newlyweds treated their guests with cider & donuts before dinner! Then made s'mores around a bonfire after dinner and dancing!

A Bit of Advice

From the Bride:
My advice to future brides would have to be 3 fold:
1. Prioritize - what is most important to YOU and your Fiance (not everyone else)
2. Plan- and do research and if you are not a planner, find someone you trust who is.
3. Party! whatever your idea of party is ....enjoy it, it's your day.
