Real {Tennessee} Wedding: Jude + Josh, Part I
For those that like a ultra-chic wedding then Jude + Josh is for you to check out. Jude + Josh met at a concert but they soon found out they had more in common then just music. With a similar style, the two had a mod ceremony and reception at {The Square Room} in Knoxville, Tennessee. The beautiful paper goods that marked this event were created by Travis Grey. Jude being quite the {Etsy} shopper had many of her flower accessories by {St. Jude Creations}. Being creative again, Jude purchased her dress from {VeKa Bridal Salon in NYC} and left the shop with a dress perfectly fitting her on the day she went in! Lucky girl! Photography by {Dixie Pixel Photography}. More amazing things to come in the second post!

How did the two of you meet? Tell us your story. We met at a performance by folk singer Malcolm Holcomb. Oddly enough, we had known some of the same circles of people for years, but just hadn't crossed paths yet.
Describe the proposal: I kept it simple: a nice dinner and then came home with a bottle of wine and popped the question.
What attracted me to my husband was: I love that Josh is very tall. I love his sense of humor, his laugh and his ability to talk to just about everyone. Did I mention that he is tall?
What attracted me to my wife was: I fell in love with Jude's cheerful disposition and those great big eyes.
Tell us about finding your wedding dress: I'm a very independent shopper and I don't like being fussed over. The idea of having to order a dress six to eight months in advance just made me squirm. I must have tried on 30+ gowns and never felt comfortable in any of them. On a trip to New York to visit a friend, I called a boutique out of curiosity and made an appointment. Thirty minutes after trying on one of two dresses I walked out the proud owner of a Suzanne Ermann gown after a) having been 'fussed over' and b) having to order a dress in advance! It was the best experience ever!
Were there any special details included in the wedding? We created special details to honor family members and friends. In lieu of a guest book, we had guests sign the leaves of a tree my sister and I painted on a large canvas. This Friends and Family tree was then placed on the stage and during the ceremony Josh and I signed the heart on the tree trunk. It was our version of the Unity Candle. I pinned a section of lace from my mothers veil to my bouquet. I also honored our grandfathers by attaching little framed photos of them to my bouquet.
What was your most memorable moment about your wedding day? I'm almost 34 years old and my Dad still got choked up at the question 'Who gives this woman...'?
More to come from this sweet wedding!
