Classic Southern Wedding Inspiration // The Wright Farm Wedding Styled Shoot

Classic Southern Wedding Inspiration // The Wright Farm Wedding Styled Shoot // West Georgia Certified Wedding Planner

Classic Southern Wedding Inspiration

They say that time flies by when you’re having fun, and boy is that true! It’s hard to believe that one year ago today I was out on location at The Wright Farm sharing the behind-the-scenes to this styled photoshoot on Instagram stories. After a whirlwind of a year of it getting picked up for publication by both Modern Luxury Weddings Atlanta and then The Perfect Palette, I could not be more thrilled to finally share it on the blog here with all of you all today!

A Southern Soul

I love southern weddings. I especially love the look of a gorgeous classic southern wedding. When Linda and I were dreaming up this project, we really wanted to design an elegant and upscale southern wedding. We loved the idea of the classic southern wedding with charm and pearls. But, we also wanted to give it a slight modern twist while keeping it simple and filled with more meaningful details. Lastly, with blush being a huge color that has taken the industry by storm, we also wanted a to give a fresh take on the blush wedding trend by giving it a softer presence. The goal was to make it thoughtfully flow through each detail of the day without you even realizing it.

The Wright Farm

For those of you who may not know about The Wright Farm, it’s a gorgeous farm venue tucked away on over 50 acres in the tiny West Georgia town of Roopville. After hosting their daughters’ weddings there successfully, this family decided to turn their farm into a full-force wedding venue that gives bride’s the peace and quiet of a country southern wedding only an hour outside of the hustle and bustle of Atlanta.

When I pulled up to the venue for the first time, I immediately fell in love – and not just with the horses and the cattle that were in the pastures on either side of their 8,000 square foot barn! There’s a reason why I designed our tablescape with their barn doors in mind. That barn is seriously the perfect backdrop to any southern belle’s dream wedding.

Classic Southern Wedding with Modern Details

Like I mentioned, when designing this photoshoot, I really wanted to give a slight modern twist to the classic and elegant southern wedding that people may normally think of. To create a more timeless look, I really love mixing the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ when it comes to details. There’s just something magical about the vintage mix-matched china from The Prissy Plate Company and the vintage rentals from The Vintage Rental Co. Together with a heirloom family diamond ring and a classic white wedding cake from Confection Perfection Cakes, you can’t go wrong!

Meanwhile, I was all heart eyes seeing these ‘old’ details paired with the more modern elements. Southern Stems‘s stunning organic style bouquet and Fabulous Frocks of Atlanta‘s modern wedding gown next to The Modern Gent‘s navy and black tuxedo was like a match made in heaven. But, don’t get my started on one of my favorite details of them all – hand painted macarons from Cake Envy that were like a work of art themselves. Not to mention, they really were as good looking as they tasted. (Y’all, I couldn’t help myself!)

A Vendor ‘Dream Team’

Can we go ahead and talk about how amazing our team was? I couldn’t have been more excited for everyone involved when our shoot got picked up for publication by Modern Luxury Weddings Atlanta and then The Perfect Palette. I appreciate each and every one of these extremely talented vendors, and it was such an amazing experience getting to work alongside them all. It’s safe to say, I absolutely loved how everything came together and turned out! Each time I take a look back at these photographs from Linda Threadgill Photography, I can’t help but gush over all of the gorgeous details like it was just yesterday. Take a look at a snapshot of our swoon-worthy gallery below, and make sure to check out our features and vendor team!

Hello, weekend! ✨💛 I spent little man’s nap Hello, weekend! ✨💛 I spent little man’s nap time today working on styling the finished china cabinet and filling it up with some of my favorite @waterfordcrystal, @lenox , and @raedunn pieces that I’ve been gifted or have collected over the past few years. As you can imagine, it’s easily becoming my favorite furniture piece I own. 😍 There’s some tweaks I want to make still to the styling, but I took some photos today for a blog post I’m prepping all about the makeover! Here’s a tiny peek at what I’ve got going so far — I’ve got my Lenox and Waterford pieces on the top shelf and my #raedunn pieces on the other shelves. Each piece has a person or a memory attached to it to make it special - which makes displaying it something I now am going to cherish!✨#ahostinghome
Today on Insta Stories I shared a couple of simple Today on Insta Stories I shared a couple of simple tips for decorating with faux floral stems in wall planters. 🪴 In case you missed it ➡️ 1. Stuff your planters with those extra plastic grocery bags. I showed y’all how great they held up the stems in place! Not to mention, it keeps you from having to completely fill each planter. 2. Make sure to bend the ends of your stems to the desired height rather than cut them so you can reuse them each year in a different way, whether that be in a wall planter this year and a large jug vase next year! They then become an investment and can actually save you money by you not having to purchase new stems each year. ✨ So what do y’all think — was that helpful? #ahostinghome

Introducing: baby jail! 👶🏼🍼 (well, a sliv Introducing: baby jail! 👶🏼🍼 (well, a sliver view of it.) Chaos ensued today from putting that thing together. I obviously didn’t read the dimensions because it’s large, in charge, and takes up a lot of room in our living room — which in turn caused me to rearrange all our furniture. 🤷🏼‍♀️😅 Not only did I get a great workout 🤪 but Willie also found a new perch to bark at the neighbors out the front door. But you know what? This is real life — and I LOVE this season of life that God has blessed me with. With two babies in heaven, I’ve prayed for this season for so long. ❤️ And while it’s not the most aesthetically pleasing thing on Instagram, I hope to inspire you with the real life of living where you love, in the season of life that you’re in. ✨❤️ #ahostinghome

I was going to wait for it to be completely done, I was going to wait for it to be completely done, but I can’t help myself! ✨ Tackled this china cabinet yesterday, and all I can say is WOW WHAT A TRANSFORMATION. (Swipe to see the before! ➡️) 😍👏🏼 This china cabinet belonged to my grandmother, and It’s been so fun getting to make it my own and make it apart of my home. I painted it with @behrpaint chalk paint in the color ‘Classic Noir’ and accented it with the most darling @wallpops wallpaper in the back. Now I just need to do the finishing touches by rub n’ buffing the hardware, and it’ll be done. 😍 I originally wanted to paint it white because I was nervous to paint it black— but now I’m SO glad I did! My motto for 2021: don’t be afraid to be bold with design! (It’s just paint! 😉) So tell me, what do y’all think?! #ahostinghome
Don’t mind me, just chilling in my comfy clothes Don’t mind me, just chilling in my comfy clothes and slippers admiring the work that I did today. Master bathroom paint is (pretty much) finished, and I’m already in love with how my vision for it is coming together. Rob keeps laughing because this all started with needing to fix our shower... yet I have to remind him that he knew what he got into when he married me. 😘 I can’t believe how much painting this little wall made our marble tile pop! Now I want to put this color everywhere in my house. 😍 P.S. Did you catch some paint project tips in my stories today? ✨#ahostinghome

I feel like it’s officially that weird transitio I feel like it’s officially that weird transition time of year with my home decor, y’all! Too early for Spring, yet when I put Christmas decor away, I like to put it all away so I can have a fresh and clean slate for the new year. That means lots of greenery and fresh additions mixed with cozy textures to give it a clean and fresh feeling while I focus on projects and things around the house for the new year. How do y’all like to transition and decorate after Christmas? #ahostinghome

Hello, progress photo! My name is Cathy, and I lov Hello, progress photo! My name is Cathy, and I loveee to paint! ✨❤️ While I only get small slivers of time right now because I’m a mama to a sweet newborn, I’m making the most of it — and our master bathroom is slowly getting its much needed facelift. Our new shower door won’t get delivered until later this month, but I wasn’t going to let that stop me from getting my hands on the rest of the walls! I absolutely love this Pure White by @sherwinwilliams — it’s the same white I used when I redid our guest bathroom. It’s the perfect neutral white that is going to make this space look so much bigger and brighter! 😍 #ahostinghome
This entryway makeover was another one of my favor This entryway makeover was another one of my favorite DIY projects in 2020, inspired by @mindfullygray’s entry and @thejadebennett’s color vibes. It’s crazy how much of a difference paint and a wood board with hooks can make! ✨ It completely transformed this space and gave it so much functionality. (SWIPE ➡️ to see the before!) I see a lot more paint and DIYs in 2021 — and I CAN’T WAIT! 👏🏼

Happy New Year, friends! ✨ As I mentioned on Ins Happy New Year, friends! ✨ As I mentioned on Insta Stories the other day, we ended 2020 with a leak in our master bathroom that is making us take out our builder grade shower insert and redo it (so 2020, right? 🤦🏼‍♀️) — so we’re starting out 2021 with a master bathroom makeover! ✨ Since we have to redo the shower, we decided to go ahead and makeover the rest of the bathroom too because it’s a space we really haven’t touched yet. I’ve been dying to get my hands on it, but I have always been too hesitant and unsure of what I wanted to do. Channeling my goal for 2021 of being bold and fearless in my DIY projects this year, we’re going for it! Here’s a peek at the design board I have working so far, and you can see the progress and behind the scenes on Instagram stories as we go. (I’ve started saving it all to a highlight on my profile too!) To say I can’t wait is a bit of an understatement. So tell me, what do you think of my vision so far?! #ahostinghome
