The Bloom girls were so excited about our booth this year at the Chattanooga Pink Bridal show!  We made sure to take a few shots of our booth being set up (which went so smoothly thanks to Momma Lyndi Blair).  And thanks to Skye’s crafty boyfriend Kevin we had walls made, which was something we were wanting so badly for this year.  Here is the journey it took to set everything up:

This is what it looked like when we arrived, then after the wall had been set up.

Our handouts and our buttons that we gave out to brides.  They were really a hit! Our flowers provided by Veo Weddings and Events (more about them later!)

Our neighboring booth B Sweet Cake Boutique offered up some super stylish cakes…we love those chairs too!

Our friends from Sunrise Farms had a BEAUTIFUL booth!  We are so lucky to be able to work with such great people.

And last but not least, the fabulous Veo Wedding and Event Planning.  Veronica graciously provided to flowers for our booth (which EVERYONE commented on!).  Thank you for helping us with our booth design and flowers!  We love you guys!

That about wraps up our coverage of the Chattanooga Pink Bridal show!  Thank you to all the brides that we got to meet!  We are really super pumped about this upcoming wedding season.  :)

Our bags were packed, and we were ready to go!  We have been so excited about the wedding of Bailey and Traverse, it was hard to believe the time had come.  These two are some of the sweetest people on earth and we are so happy that they found each other.  We are also beyond thrilled that they chose us to document their most special day.

We came to Brentwood Tennessee a day early to scope out the venue and get a feel for the wedding day.  When we pulled up to the gated entrance our jaws dropped.  The Governors Club is beyond pristine and immaculate, and the homes on the property were so big, we were convinced we would see Puff Daddy driving his golf cart around.  The grounds of the Pleasant Hill Manor only made us more excited.  We looked at each other and said, ‘This is perfect.’  The rehearsal went off without a hitch and everything seemed calm.  After some yummy italian food (Amerigo’s is a must eat when in Nashville/Brentwood) we headed to the hotel to rest up for the big day.  

Early the next day we went to meet Bailey at the hotel where she was getting all ‘brided’ up.  All the bridesmaids were getting ready in one suite and Bailey was in another suite all to herself.  She said she just wants to be as calm as possible, which proves she is a smart girl…she knew the rest of the day would be crazy.  

Once she got all done up she met us at Pleasant Hill and it was time to get in her dress and to see her soon to be husband for their first look.  Traverse was so cute and acted a little nervous, somewhat fidgety when she was walking up behind him.  Once they saw each other it’s almost like he was speechless, frozen in his tracks, and utterly amazed by how beautiful she looked.  It was truly adorable.

Every wedding is different, but all in all this was the most calm and organized wedding we had ever been a part of.  The weather that day was amazing, they couldn’t have asked for anything better.  The ceremony was so sweet and the reception was a full on party.  

Congratulations Mr. & Mrs Read and thank you again for having us share in your special day.   

You may have met this wonderful couple a few months ago on our old website. So you will probably see that they look familiar.  We shot their engagement photos back  in June of this year and we have to say that it was one of our favorite engagement session of this year so far!

Kimmi and Jacob are such a fun loving energetic couple! When we found out they also wanted to book us for their wedding day we were beyond excited AND when Kimmi told us it was going to be at the Fillauer Lake House in Cleveland, TN it was like music to our ears. La La La! The big day seemed to be stress free and went by like a flash!  It was most fun watching Kimmi step into her dress when the time arrived! There were tons of laughs and maybe a small teary eye here and there. She really did look like a princess from a fairy tale book.

After the vows were said it was first dance and cake cuting time which always gets the party started. We are so happy for Kimmi and Jacob. Congradulations to the both of them in their new journey together as husband and wife!

First of all we want to say Congratulations to Kalyn and Ryan on their engagement and THANK YOU SO MUCH for involving us in your celebration.  It was so much fun.

Meet Kalyn & Ryan…they got engaged and had quite the shindig.  Thankfully the Bloom gals were there to document this amazing celebration.  When we spoke with Kalyn to confirm everything we were told to meet them at the penthouse (a.k.a party room) on the roof of a swanky North Shore apartment complex.  We were to bring photobooth props & lighting, and to be prepared for fun (200 bottles of wine type fun).  Um…yes, please and thank you!  The minute we pulled up we knew we were in for a blast of a night… and once we navigated our way through the complex (which turns out was quite a chore with all the stuff we had)  and made it to the room we were amazed.  It was beautiful, the decorations, the view, everything….

Kalyn decorated it all herself which is amazing.  She really could and should be an event planner…well…with her sparkling personality, she could do just about anything.  She is quite the hostess, immediately making us feel like we belong there.  She was dressed to the 9′s in a snazzy blue dress and matching heels.  And her soon-to-be-hubby Ryan?  He’s perfect for her and he just may be the sweetest guy ever.  Sweet as in if you were to hug him a big teddy bear hug will only do kind of sweet (I didn’t hug him, but I imagine this to be true).  It is my belief that together, they could totally have their own (successful) reality show.  The show would be about being a young, engaged, fun, loving couple…happily living in the Northshore penthouse with the best view of Chattanooga.  Ahh…Can’t you just see it?

Ok…wait…back to the party…

Once we got in and settled the celebration began…and it looked a little something like this….CONGRATULATIONS GUYS!!  We can’t wait for the wedding!

Flowers, horses, wedding dress, oh my!  In the spirit of wedding season we decided to do our own little boho inspired bridal shoot.  So we got up early in the morning (like 5AM) and got this thing going!  We had so much fun, here are some of the best images of the day.  Enjoy!  HAPPY WEDDING SEASON, ALL!  XOXO

Meet Ashley and  Marshall!

Ashley met Marshall through his parents company.  They have been dating for a little while now and Marshall thought it was a good time to tie the knot.  He proposed to Ashley from a tree stand by a little bridge out on his families farm in Birchwood, TN.  We had the honor of going to the farm to do the engagement photos there.  It is absolutely gorgeous!

Ashley and Marshall are one of those couples that puts an automatic smile on your face when you look at them. They are so sweet and just give you the best feeling when you’re around them.  We had so much fun at the engagement session. I believe we laughed the entire time!  We can only hope that they choose us to document one of the most important days of their lives.
