Jessi and Jacob Leonard

Jessi and Jacob were married Saturday, June 5, 2010 at the beautiful St. Catherine's at Bell Gable Chapel and their reception was held at The Garden Room on Dickson Street.


I also got to work with my dear friends at Beaty Photography! I can't wait to see their wonderful photographs from the wedding, but here is a picture from Jessi's bridal portraits.

Jessi did a vintage-themed wedding and made most of her decor and spent months collecting mason jars, vintage milk glass vases, and vintage cake toppers for decor. Jessi is an extremely organized and fun spirited bride who was a joy to work with!!


Jessi had over 200 photographs of childhood memories for all of her guests to enjoy during the cocktail hour.



Her handmade linens, signs and vintage decor were just perfect!


June 5th also marked "National Donut Day"! What better way to celebrate this delicious treat than to highlight them in the dessert bar and enjoy a few!




Jessi and Jacob wanted a "cake buffet" without the traditional "wedding cake" so it was filled with donuts, petit fours, cupcakes, and a ceremonial cake.




Jessi found several vintage cake toppers, but these took home the cake, or cupcake! :-)


The flowers were from a local grower, Coyote Farms, in Northwest Arkansas. The bridesmaid's bouquets were very vibrant with yellow and white gerbera daisies wrapped in bright yellow ribbon.



The menu was delicious!!











The evening also included the Beatybooth! I can't wait to see all of the photos!! I was very blessed to work with such a wonderful, fun and loving couple! The newlyweds are off in London for a wonderful honeymoon and I had a blast working with them.
