The Arbors Events Wedding | Missy & Grant
There are not enough words in the English dictionary to adequately describe my love for this couple. I LOVE Missy and Grant (Check out their engagement session {HERE})! They are a real life Ken and Barbie couple, with the most beautiful hearts, personalities and all around awesomeness. Their Arbors Events wedding was a dream come true. Missy and Grant married on a picture perfect day – May 5, 2018, in front of all their closest family and friends…to add to their perfectness, they seriously have the most fun friends and family anyone could ask for. Missy’s bride tribe was AMAZING. Grant’s groomsmen were incredible, and well their families – they were nothing short of real life Cleavers.
The day started with each respective bridal party getting ready on property at The Arbors Events perfect cottage. This cottage is a bride’s dream – not only is the house LARGE, but boasts multiple bedrooms, a kitchen, gorgeous patio and more. It is the perfect getting ready area for a large bridal party, with ample space for all us vendors to move around in. Lindsey Burchfield dolled these girls up and somehow made them look even MORE beautiful than they already are. Meanwhile, downstairs – Grant and his gang hung out playing shuffle board and watching The Derby race take place. As the afternoon passed, we spent the day laughing, photographing, and popping a couple bottles of champs open…a wedding is the perfect reason to celebrate all day long.
The Arbors Events Wedding | Ceremony
When 4 PM struck, the excitement of seeing Grant’s reaction to Missy was at it’s boiling point. Because Missy and Grant declined doing a first look, all eyes were on Grant and how he would react. Missy looked exquisite. Absolutely perfect. Her Nouvelle Amsale gown fit every curve of her body like a glove. Her perfectly curled hair cascaded down her back and showcased her Thomas Knoell earrings, and her veil created the perfect frame for the entire look. She was a dream. As her father and her approached the aisle, her mother looked on with pride, emotion and happiness. With a deep breath, they proceeded towards her future. Grant’s breath was taken away. He looked at her with admiration, excitement and envy. Here she was, his Mrs. Holland. The women he had waited for his entire life. His perfect pair.

The Arbors Events Wedding | Reception
The wedding continued with a celebration over dinner and dancing. Stacey Abernathy of Willow Branch Flowers and Design wowed guests with her amazing work on the centerpieces. The all white floral arrangements paired perfectly with the little blue accents throughout the room. Missy and Grant’s sweetheart table was surrounded by votives filled with floating candles. It was the romantic, classic reception Missy had wanted, and the perfect way to complete this perfect day.
To Missy and Grant: It started with a meeting, and we ended as friends. I absolutely love your love, and I love our friendship. While the wedding day has past, the real fun is about to happen. I am so excited for you two to start your lives as Mr. and Mrs. Holland. It was such an honor to photograph this day!!
Until next time,
