Details Galore: Ashley & John's Extravagant Hometown Wedding!

Get ready for several days of photos of Ashley & John's beautiful and extravagant wedding. Their traditionally elegant wedding came together flawlessly to be one of the most beautiful weddings I've had the pleasure of working on. Here are some of my favorite details captured by the uber-amazing Benfield Photography!

Some of the beautiful paper goodies from Sincerely Yours, Inc.

This was by far the largest wedding I've coordinated yet! All 700 gold chiavari chairs were filled with 20 or so guests standing in the back! A true testament to how incredibly loyal Ashley and John are and how much their friends and family love them.

We worked tirelessly to design an incredible ceremony space that truly transformed the Fort Smith Convention Center into a stunning wedding venue. Ashley wanted a candle lit ceremony, so we used hundreds of candles to make the aisle and altar glow with a little accent lighting to highlight the altar for their vows!

Thousands of petals cascaded from the ceiling over the dance floor, and in the center was a stunning crystal chandelier.

The beautiful dining room was a gorgeous sight! Under a draped ceiling, guests enjoyed a delicious dinner and wine from the Post family's vineyard in Altus, AR. The bride's incredible family came from all over the world (literally! One of her cousins flew in from Israel the day before the wedding to surprise everyone) and they worked for days creating the stunning centerpieces and other floral arrangements and were a joy to work with!

And one of my favorite details of the wedding....
The beautiful lounge (all furniture provided by Eventures) and Lucite bars complete with monograms by Amy Hannon of Sincerely Yours Paper, Inc crafted in vinyl by Megan Stewart of Fort Smith, AR. This stunning lounge was used all night for guests to rest their feet after dancing for hours to the Rockets!

It was an absolutely beautiful wedding filled with incredible details. To see more of these fabulous details, head on over to Benfield Photography's blog!

And stay tuned for what are sure to be some incredible wedding portraits coming up later this week!
