2013 Bridal Hair Trends and Accessories

Bridal hair trends for this year are big on braids, bangs, and buns. These looks certainly suite the Southern Bride. Flowers, berry vines, leaves and all things found in nature are now crowning the heads of these beautiful brides. Braids and long, loose curls are easy, classic, and carefree.

If you prefer your long locks rather than these curly updos, don’t fret. Opt for natural looking waves to complement your wedding day ensemble.

However, if you adore both styles and can’t choose between the two…

…problem solved! This is the perfect combination of each style that says elegant yet casual.

Accessories

No surprise here. Lace is still making its mark on the wedding world so don’t expect to see it go away any time soon.

Fall Farm Wedding

I am excited to have Jennifer and Flint's wedding coming up in Oct. I am late in posting their engagement session photos and sharing their story but it's a cute one! Worth the wait! Enjoy...

Jennifer Courtney Devine is the daughter of Bill and Cynthia Berkley and Michael and Susan Devine of Brentwood, Tennessee. She is a 1998 graduate of Father Ryan High School in Nashville; and a graduate in Public Relations / Spanish at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro. She is employed by SimplexGrinnell in Nashville as a sales representative.

Flint Casey Mac Adam is the son of Fritz and Colleen Adam of Fayetteville, Georgia. He is a 1998 graduate of Fayette County High School in Fayetteville; a 2002 graduate in Broadcast Journalism at Georgia State University in Atlanta. He is employed by WZTV-FOX 17 News in Nashville as a weekend weathercaster and weekday reporter.
Flint has several older siblings: Steve, Mike, Ingrid, Chris, Kirsten, and Greta.

How they met:

On a cold and snowy morning in March 2008, Jennifer woke up and flipped on the TV. Tennessee Mornings on FOX 17 was airing, and on the tube was a cold and sick Flint... reporting in the ice and snow. Even with the harsh weather, Flint kept his report light-hearted and animated, and Jennifer thought this young reporter was "funny and cute."
She remembered his name and decided she'd look him up. Later in the day she logged on to MySpace and found Flint's profile. He was her age... and single! So, she added him as a "buddy" on her friend's list.
Flint got the buddy-request and checked out her profile... thinking "this chick is pretty hot." He accepted the request and e-mailed his new friend... and the two hit it off!
After a few phone conversations, Jennifer and Flint went on their first date at wine bar Rumours East in Nashville on Thursday, March 13, 2008.
The two had a great time drinking wine and chatting... a real connection was made.

At the end of the evening, Flint walked Jennifer to her car and asked if he could kiss her good night. She said "yes"...

Tennessee Farm Open House

Last night I finished two long days of set up and design for Southall Eden Farm's open house. Premier W.E.D. has the privelage of being Shannon's preferred event planning/wedding directing company for the farm. Of course, if another event planner is brought to the farm, we are thrilled to welcome them with open arms! :-)

I am exhausted and excited at the same time! Kind of like after a huge wedding...as a matter of fact, my friend who owns Southall Eden Farm in Leipers Fork has referred to her open house as "her wedding". I am sure in many ways it felt like that. Shannon O'Kelley has been working diligently to prepare her precious farm for the open house of the season! It rained both days of set up and we were ignoring all of natures pessimism. It was a who's who of the wedding industry and I am so relieved to have had the turn out in the pouring down rain! The feel was obviously relaxed, but hip and cool. Several vendors helped to make this event a hit and Lisa Coffman with Unique Flavors deserves a round of applause! Her staff is so friendly and they all worked through the humid inclement weather to supply all of us with delicious treats! Many others deserve a bow as well....

Shannon would love to show you the farm in person if you didn't get a chance to attend the party. It was a great night to meet vendors I haven't had an opportunity to put their face with their name. I can't wait to help my clients Jessica and Dane have a fabulous farm wedding there on Oct. 3rd! In the meantime...I hope you enjoyed the party pictures!
