An Elegant Farm Wedding III

I especially loved our wedding because I felt that we brought many worlds together, with a 1940′s dressed wedding party, flower girls that appeared to have stepped out of a mystical forest, a southern old church setting to include programs on fans, yet music that brought you into an entirely different place.   The culmination of these worlds felt as if  I was stepped into something out of a movie and we most definitely couldn’t have done it without all of the hard- work and  help of our loving friends and family which is what “MAKES” a wedding anyway.

This wedding looks like so much fun. So many great elements, but what made me smile was the little boy in the cowboy boots, flanelette shirt with the red bow tie. Adorable!

WHY is not mentioned anywhere that this is Mat Kearney, successful singer/songwriter, with multiple songs hitting top 40 (Closer to Love, Nothing Left to Lose, Undeniable)???? It’s driving me crazy!!!!! He is so talented and his wedding totally matches the style of his beautiful voice and music! But seriously. Not mentioned anywhere. Pour quoi???? He even has a song named Annie….

Hey Jessica

I’m pretty sure it is a private residence and the bride/groom our friends of the owners.

A very lovely wedding. As a Nashville native and huge fan of Mat Kearney, I recognized him immediately, although as people are pointing out, it looks to be his wedding. Most of the vendors listed are Nashville vendors – Copper Kettle, Tec Petaja and his wife of Oh My Deer, for example … lots of great vendors in Nashville, TN. Great job, guys!

Alex writes

Yes! Please tell us which dress it is by Rivini! I have been searching so long for “the one” and this dress is perfect for me! Please help a girl out!

That is “the” Mat Kearney (musician). He met his wife at an Anthropologie clothing store, probably the one in Nashville, and shortly after penned “Hey Mama” (his latest single from his upcoming album ‘Young Love.’ The wedding was held at a private residence which is owned by Michael W. Smith (musician).
