Despite the destruction of the tornadoes last week, we headed to Huntsville for my cousin Jason’s wedding.
We all felt so very blessed to be celebrating such a joyful occasion in the midst of the turmoil in our state.
And because it was a blessing (and it was beautiful), I had to share it here with you.
Jason and Blair were married in Mooresville, Alabama, in a one hundred year old church…it was BEAUTIFUL.
There is so much about the vintage-inspired decor that I love…and we’ll get to more, but I LOVED this idea to incorporate mason jars.
It was such a gorgeous spring day, and everyone looked pretty spiffy, especially these guys…
My dad (center), Uncle Ken (left), and Uncle Gary (right-Jason’s dad and best man)…we like to call ’em the Trinity…you know, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. 🙂
These guys were sort of a mess, as you can clearly tell. But when they weren’t yelling, whining, or picking their noses in unison, they were being sort of adorable…
(I just couldn’t resist playing around with this one some)
The vintage inspired decor totally stole my heart, and Blair (and I’m sure folks who helped) did such a fabulous job pulling together a simple, stunning atmosphere.
I’m just going to let the pictures do the talking for once.
There was sooooo much vintage goodness to look at, I in no way could capture all of it.
I was also chasing two nose-picking toddlers, after all.
There were also lots of sweet, quiet moments….and those are the best at weddings.
Grayson did not have fun at all.
He only danced the afternoon away with his Aunt Vonda (speaking of…doesn’t she look gorgeous??)
This is what he likes to call his “Spanish dance,” inspired by none other than Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story 3.
I’m sure at this point he was correcting poor Aunt Vonda on the technical aspects of his moves.
And there you have it…a beautiful day and a blessed family.
Speaking of blessed, we leave today. I’m hoping to schedule a time to pop in for a furniture makeover, but know that today will be filled bittersweet cuddle time with my babes and the packing of many tubs of peanut butter and roofing screws.
Gonna miss you, friends. Be seeing you soon.
🙂
Love love love. You can definitely see the personality of the couple through their decor choices. Is that homemade jam as their “favors”?!
absolutely loverly!
have a safe trip!
I Love all the vintage items at the wedding!!! The nose pickers, lol, stole the show while waiting and dancing I’m sure……Be careful on your journey and God bless!!!
I had a friend in high school named Vonda!
What a gorgeous wedding!! Love all of the vintage decor!! Really love the mason jars at the end of the church pews! So pretty!! The pics of your kiddos (I’m assuming they are yours) are so adorable!!
How wonderful! That church is amazing– the simple beautiful wood and that great chandelier… and i loved the informal prettiness of the flowers and bird cage decor– thanks for sharing the day!
Absolutely stunning!! I am so glad you shared 🙂
Great pics!!! Glad u got some of the details. It was a fun and blessed day, for sure.
Have a safe trip sharing the love of the Lord!
Just love weddings with personality! This one looks delightful. Wishing the bride and groom many sweet and tender moments together!
You got some great pictures! It was such a fun day with many blessings!
Wishing you a safe trip as you share God’s love!!!
Such sweet pics. I had to smile at the story of your son dancing with his aunt. You just don’t hear the name Vonda much. Seems like someone else’s parents had good taste also. :o)
I don’t know if I LOVED the boutonnieres more or the “pick” image of the kids!!!
In a word…GORGEOUS! The photos, the church, the children and the couple. What a beautiful wedding…awww made my heart so happy to see these…thanks so much!
Beautiful wedding, love the simple things life brings us! May God see you safely on your journey and home again. Take care, VBg
PS I will keep you in my prayers!
Great pictures, thank you for sharing! I love everything about this wedding, it is so sweet and simple and *real*. I’ve seen some weddings that were so over-the-top as to be downright tacky, but this one is just perfection. Love all the vintage details, that old car is awesome!
Shaunna, what a beautiful, dreamy wedding! And what lovely photos you took! It all makes me want to get married again. 🙂
Funny enough, I’m working on a post right now about vintage/country wedding ideas since a friend of my mom’s is getting married this summer and was looking for inspiration. Would you mind if I used a couple of your photos (with credit of course!) in my post?
Thanks and take care,

How fun! Seriously, you should have called me! I live like 20 minutes from Mooresville! Praying for you as you go and minister in Honduras! xoxo
What a beautiful wedding. I was inspired by all of the vintage elements and saw a few I may have to “borrow” if I am ever involved in another wedding. I had to laugh at the picture of the unison nose pickers-they are so adorable.
Have a wonderful trip and know that the people back home will be supporting your group with our prayers. Be safe!!! I can’t wait to hear your stories when you return.
It’s a small world! I was at this wedding. Blair and I graduated together. I was the very pregnant one at the table next to you:) I was admiring your little girls’ dress…so cute! thanks for sharing the gorgeous pics!
Wow, that’s a gorgeous setting for a wedding!
Beautiful Wedding, looks like you could have done the decorating your self. Praying for safe traveling for you on your journey. The people on the receiving end of your compassion are lucky indeed. Have a blessed time. Mary
Shaunna,
The pictures look great! We cannot wait to see more when you get back from your trip.
Thanks for capturing the beauty of our special day. I bet nobody would ever guess there was no electricity–it was seriously vintage! I guess we can laugh about it now. We should all definitely feel blessed to have weathered the tornadoes so well. It was great to have you and your family there to share the moment. Be careful on your trip–see you soon.
Love,
Blair and Jason
