Dana and Jason were wed on a beautiful fall day on October 8, 2016 at Owen Farm in Champansboro, TN. We are so excited to share their wedding with you!
1. Tell us about your wedding! When it was, where it was at, and who helped put it together:
The wedding ceremony & reception was at Owen Farm in Chapmansboro, TN, which is a short drive north of Nashville. It was held on October 8th, 2016 at 4:30pm. Overall, Jason (my now husband) and I put it together just the two of us! We have a bit of a nontraditional family, set-up, so the planning and funding of the wedding was left to us. Sometimes that added some stress, but overall it was a great lesson in team work, financial planning & we got to do exactly what we wanted! We did have some great vendors to help along the way, and the weekend of our friends & family lent a helping hand.
2. How did you pick your wedding dress?
Honestly, I thought I’d be so much more undecided than I was. I always new a mermaid style dress looked best on my figure, but I envisioned something more bohemian and thought I might end up with a Haley Paige gown or something along those lines. I did see my dress online, and a friend and I exchanged the picture of it with hearts because it was so gorgeous! When I arrived for my appointment, I tried on a number of A-line gowns, one even lavender colored, but when I put on my dress I knew immediately. It just fit so well, it felt like it belonged on me! I loved the tulle bottom and I knew I could glam it up a little with a nice sash, jewelry & veil.
3. Any advice for future brides?
Hmmm I think I focused SO much on table settings, decor, flowers, etc (which is all fun & a big part of the day) but in the end what made the day so great was the fun we had! Make sure to have good music (DJ or band – we had a DJ), an awesome dance floor, and everyone will have a blast! I’d also say don’t skimp on photos or video – those help your memories last a lifetime, because the day is such a blur! When the day arrives, set everything else aside & really focus on the day – the people you speak with, the time with you bridesmaids, the sun on your face, the look on his! It’s the best part!
Congratulations Dana! You were absolutely stunning, thank you for letting us be a part of your wedding day!
