Autumn Wedding in Murfreesboro, TN
This Murfreesboro elopement at Steel Magnolia Barn was simply on point! Picture this: autumn leaves glowing in the sunset, setting the stage for a wedding that could make even a movie director jealous. Wes and Danette had a romantic lakeside ceremony where they exchanged vows, and the rings? Let’s just say they were the real “bling” of the day! As they sealed the deal with their first kiss as a married couple, you could practically hear the collective “awww” from the trees. Who knew true love came with such a picturesque backdrop?
The Lovely Couple
Danette and her husband have a love story that turns everyday moments into a rom-com. For decades, they lived across the street from each other. Each nursing a secret crush—like two characters in a sitcom waiting for the perfect moment to collide. Danette thought he was incredibly attractive, while he was practically enamored from afar. Shyness kept them from making the first move. It took her kids giving her a nudge (or maybe a push) to finally text her charming neighbor. Little did she know, he was timing his mailbox runs to her dog walks, hoping for a casual glimpse. What started as awkward hellos morphed into a delightful friendship. Eventually, a love story that would make even the most hardened romantics swoon. Now, as a happily married couple, they can’t wait for a future filled with laughter, love, and an endless supply of reasons to say hello!
First Dance
As the sun dipped behind Steel Magnolia Barn, the newlyweds kicked off their first dance like pros. The smooth sounds of “At Last” by Etta James floated through the air. Setting the stage for what could only be described as a romantic slow dance spectacular. They glided across the floor, looking more like a pair of love-struck gazelles than mere mortals. Completely oblivious to the fact that they weren’t the only ones present. With eyes locked on each other, it was as if the rest of the world had hit the pause button. Leaving them to waltz into their happily ever after—one twirl at a time.
Dancing Shoes
Speaking of the first dance, Danette definitely danced into elegance with her exquisite pearl-beaded sandals! With a flair for unique footwear, she was itching to “shoe off” her stunning kicks. Those delicate gold straps wrapped around her foot like they were on a mission. Creating a shimmery contrast to the lustrous pearls that blinged out the heel and foot straps. A fabulous choice for any bride’s big day—because why should the dress have all the fun?
Fabulous Florals
The bridal bouquet was a showstopper. A dazzling mix of nature’s finest. Pristine white roses mingling with delicate blue blossoms like they were meant to be together. Topped off with charming blue delphinium and white stock, it was the embodiment of Danette’s free spirit, blooming with personality! And let’s not forget the seeded eucalyptus. Adding a dash of greenery that screams “romantic whimsy.” Because who doesn’t want their bouquet to feel a little playful on their big day?
Wedding Bands
That new ring on their left hand might feel like a quirky fashion statement at first. Trust us, they’ll learn to love it! Wes can barely contain his excitement about making Danette his lifelong partner in crime. He keeps shouting how lucky he is that she said yes! And honestly, who wouldn’t feel lucky with such a catch? They’re practically bursting to kick off this new adventure as a married duo. We couldn’t be happier that they picked Steel Magnolia Barn for their Murfreesboro elopement. Talk about a match made in wedding heaven!
