Haylie and Zachary are married!
Haylie has been the wonderland bride with flowers surrounding her just as all their family and friends have surrounded them as she walked the grassy aisle to Zachary.
Haylie's floral artist was Desi's Floral Design out of North Wilkesboro, NC.
Her something borrowed laid around her neck, and her grandmother took time to perfect her nails. Her sisters and best friends adored her, showered her and helped her get ready that morning.
Haylie is the barefoot wild child from the farmlands of Indianna. She told me she was going "bare" on her feet this day but I had no idea how adorable her feet would be! These bare sandals are handmade and were worn by Haylie and her bridesmaids. Catherine Cole studio was the "shoe" artist:)
They joined each other in Trade, Tennessee (a short hop from Boone, North Carolina) at what felt like the edge of the world with their only barrier being the mountains to contain the love and excitement of the day which was unfolding like a magnolia tree blooming.
If you love rustic and beautiful mountains all around, you need to venture out to White Fence Farm. They hold a beautiful venue with an outdoor barn and covered dance floor, mountain tops, a guest house with all the “old house” things you love, even a vintage air streamer for the couple or groomsmen!
The groom, Zachary or Zach or Huffie, is a NC native. His family is from Shelby North Carolina. Haylie and Zachary each brought soil from their home-place and planted a tree together during their ceremony. This was a symbolic way of bringing their two families together.
“I wanna sweep you off your feet tonight
I wanna love you and hold you tight...
Spin you around on some old dance floor
Act like we never met before…
I wanna sweep you off your feet tonight
I wanna love you and hold you tight...
- A clip from lyrics to a song by Jodi Pardi that - to me- described these two at their wedding.
Here are a few divine cupcakes graced by Haylie at Indulge Bakery....YUM. Flavors included, S'mores, champagne, red velvet,
and Reese's peanut butter cup. There was no wrong choice...trust me, I tasted!
"...Spin you around on some old dance floor”
They are meant for this journey in marriage together.
They are one of few who are lucky enough to recognize the importance of inclusion and know what true love and commitment will take to be great together. They build each other up daily and that is very clear to all the family and friends who joined them July 9th, 2016.
May the best be ahead of you always!
So much love,
your photographer,
Nicole
