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

Spring gardening is right around the corner, and I Spring gardening is right around the corner, and I’m already starting to get ours prepped thanks to @walmart Lawn and Garden! #AD With a newborn and a toddler, running errands can be quite the task. But thanks to #WalmartLawnandGarden, I’ve been able to get everything I need to kickstart our garden this year in one place — from the convenience of snuggling my babies on my couch with Walmart.com and the app! The time it saved me from running all over town, I got to spend making core memories with John as we taught him how to start his very first set of seeds in the @jiffygroup seed starting tray. 

Here’s a look at what we got to kickstart our garden this year:
- The @jiffygroup Seed Starting Greenhouse Kit: to grow our own seedlings and get a head start on the season by starting them indoors! 
- The  @ferrymorseseed Seed Starting Heat Mat: to give our seeds the best chance possible to promote germination and improve transplant results 
- Ferry Morse Seeds (flowers, tomatoes, and peppers!) 
- @pennington Rejuvenate Potting Mix and Garden Soil: to give our seedlings the nutrients they need once transplanted into our garden 
- Pennington Rejuvenate Tomato Plant Food
- @scottslawn Landscaping Fabric: to keep our garden clean and free of pesky weeds
- The @flexonhose Flextreme Advanced 100ft Hose: to keep it all watered without fighting kinks as we move easily around our raised garden beds

Add this kit to your cart now ➡️ https://click2cart.com/59600bc

Get a jumpstart on your spring and summer garden this year by shopping everything you need at Walmart, in-store or online at Walmart.com. And stay tuned to see how our garden comes together and grows this year!

The best part? Can rotate and charge with all our other Dewalt tool batteries.

January 20th, 2023 💛

James was born last Friday morning, and spent the first 5 days in the NICU for some breathing issues and fluid in his lungs. While those days were extremely rough, trying, and brought back a lot of emotions from Layne’s birth — God is so good, and my heart is just overwhelmed by His faithfulness. My favorite moment in life thus far was surprising John before bedtime the night we were finally discharged to come home. I’ll never forget the look on his face when I walked through that door. Thank you, Jesus, for my babies. 🦋💛 #ahostinghome

✨ STUDY REVEAL ✨ I got a lot of nervous respon ✨ STUDY REVEAL ✨ I got a lot of nervous responses when I said I wanted to design an all black formal study right off my entryway, but I’m completely obsessed with every detail of this space. Rob has always wanted a study, so my goal with this space when it’s finished is to have almost like a moody, swanky cigar lounge feel. When we moved into this house this spring, I told Rob I was done playing it “safe for resale” with designing projects. Here’s to more of doing whatever the heck I want design wise in 2023! 👏🏼✨ Next up: let’s get this space styled and furnished! #ahostinghome

“And with that, the 2022 season comes to an end. “And with that, the 2022 season comes to an end.” ✨🎄 When do you take your Christmas decor down? The Christmas decor got put away earlier this week, and the house always feels so empty every year when it gets taken down! I was going to wait till next week to take it down, but with only 3 weeks left until baby arrives I’m finding myself in total nesting mode right now. Behind the scenes we’ve been putting finishing touches on the study while Rob was off work for Christmas, so I’ll be sharing all the photos and updates on that to the feed soon. In the meantime, who wants to come organize closets and baby stuff with me?! 😜 #ahostinghome
