Sweet as Honey Southern Wedding Inspiration // The Barn at Oak Manor Styled Shoot

Southern Wedding Inspiration

It’s hard to believe that it was almost a year ago when Sharayah from Noble Sparrow Photography reached out to me to meet her for coffee. We sat in that little coffee shop in her small town and laughed at the fact that, while we had never met in person before, Instagram had made it feel like we were already friends. (Does that happen to anyone else?) It was that day over coffee that Sharayah poured her heart out for a styled shoot that she had been envisioning for quite some time. She had already made the arrangements with a venue, but she needed someone to help take her vision to the next level and make it a reality. The vision she poured out that day came to life in the form of a breathtaking southern wedding Barn at Oak Manor styled shoot.

The Barn at Oak Manor Styled Shoot

For those of you who may not know about The Barn at Oak Manor, it’s a truly beautiful gem out in Newnan, Georgia. Between Mother Oak, the barn, and the Oak Manor, there really is so much that you can do with this venue. Their bridal suite and man cave basement is getting ready #goals, and I firmly believe that the barn is the perfect backdrop to any southern wedding. (There’s a reason I couldn’t help but design our tablescape with the barn doors in mind!) Not to mention, the new dock over the water on the property made for the dreamiest of photos as we were chasing the evening light at the end of our shoot.

Sweet as Honey Style

I knew right away that I wanted to be a part of this shoot. Actually, I took one glance at her inspiration board that she passed me over the table and said, “I’m in.” She looked at me with wide eyes and said, “Really?” About an hour later we were standing in front of the barn with heart eyes. The venue was perfect. Not to mention, the possibilities for the shoot were endless.

It’s no secret that the color yellow has a way of turning some people off. However, I saw past it and fell in love with something so beautiful. I didn’t want this to be your typical yellow color palette. I really wanted to embrace the natural essence of the color and the natural essence of what this shoot was about.

Our main vision for this shoot was to create something that celebrated how sweet love really is. That, while it can be sticky, it’s the sweetest thing that God has given us. With honey and a more muted yellow as our starting point, we created the perfect blend of organic elegance while mixing shades of yellow and gold with the natural beauty that comes with greenery. I also wanted to take our design a step further by incorporating geometric designs that reflected a honeycomb style without being cheesy or overdone. Between the yellow ombre hexagonal cake and cookies from Pastry Shells and the simple marble place cards by Fifty Four Degrees, they turned out to be a sweet touch that was was subtle yet made all the difference.

So Much to Love

I must say that this tablescape was my favorite part of our styled shoot. (Meanwhile, we also had the official dream team of wedding professionals!) There’s just something magical about Rhapsody in Bloom‘s florals paired with her bee’s wax candles and the darling china and table from The Vintage Rental Co. The white farm table ended up having the perfect contrast against the dark wood of the barn doors. I especially loved incorporating a bench on one side so that there was an open view of the tablescape. Meanwhile, I also loved that the napkin detail didn’t get lost in the chair backs.

I’ve created a lot of tablescapes in my lifetime. But, this one definitely holds a special place in my heart. (I don’t like to play favorites. But, it’s one of my favorites, y’all!) Not to mention, we had the most darling couple volunteer to be our models. They were such sweethearts and absolutely the perfect fit for our shoot. It made my heart so happy when it was picked up for publication on The Perfect Palette a few weeks ago. The perfect shoot for this perfect set of vendors.

      Thank you, Chelsea! It came together so beautifully! Yellow is definitely one of those colors many people stay away from, but I loved getting back to the organic essence of the color. <3

I still need to install cabinet hardware, but I’m really loving how everything is coming together in our new house. I’m feeling so inspired with embracing new styles and I hope you are too following along!  #ahostinghome

Building raised garden beds and planting with a to Building raised garden beds and planting with a toddler who just wanted to  dig and bury tools and throw dirt everywhere was as about as chaotic as you could imagine. (Forget wood for a second, have you seen how expensive DIRT is this year?! 🤦🏼‍♀️) Rob built me raised beds at our old house after Layne passed away and learning to garden became such a labor of love for me. We really missed having a garden last summer after we sold our old house and moved into the rental, so we were so excited to get started and plan another set of raised beds for this year for the new house. It’s a start — and we can’t wait to expand this little garden area even more as we go. 💛🪴 Are you excited for your garden this year? What are you growing?! #ahostinghome

Can I just say that if you’ve been on the fence Can I just say that if you’ve been on the fence about a bold design decision… to just do it! After I shared the black living room wall, I had a few friends tell me they wanted to do the same in other spaces in their home and they chickened out. Especially when it comes to paint, I say just go for it! Paint is one of the easiest ways to completely transform the look and feel of your home. It’s only paint — and that’s the beauty of it! If you hate it you can always paint it back. So instead of asking what if you hate it, ask yourself what if you LOVE it?! 🖤👏🏼 #ahostinghome

About the only thing I managed to get done this we About the only thing I managed to get done this weekend with a sick toddler was the little gallery wall in our dining room. I found these wireless battery operated gold gallery lights on Amazon and they are AMAZING. Comes in 3 colors, under $35, and super easy to install. I love how it just added a little something and made it look more high end. 😍👏🏼 #ahostinghome

I love how cozy they make our new home feel and how it just feels like “us” now with them up. ❤️ #ahostinghome

After all the rain, we finally got the wire backin After all the rain, we finally got the wire backing, our gates done, and the fence finished this week! 😍 We had a fencing company local to us do it, and they did an amazing job. We had a fence like this at our old house, and we loved how open it made our back yard feel while still keeping the dogs in. With the dogs, the fence was project priority No. 1 after we moved in — and I must say, I’m so glad I won’t have to embarrass myself chasing a puppy around the house with a toddler on my hip in my slippers anymore! 🤪 Are you team privacy fence or team 5 row fence? 🏡 #ahostinghome
