NEW Featured Wedding

Have you checked out the NEWEST Featured Wedding on ClarksvilleBrides.com?? The feature highlights Chris & Laurel's wedding day at Magnolia House Bed & Breakfast with fabulous photos by Laura Kay Photography. "This was my first wedding here in Clarksville. I met Chris at the Clarksville Bridal Show in January. Laurel is stationed in DC and Chris had to go to the bridal show alone. What a Good Man! I think that says something about his dedication to his sweet wife. I got to meet Laurel twice before the wedding and once was for their Engagement session. On April 23rd they got married. It was a perfectly small and intimate wedding. Chris and Laurel got married at the Magnolia House Bed and Breakfast on Madison. The weather was perfect for a garden wedding. I love outdoor Ceremonies. I love easy going couples. I love extra time and going places for Bride and Groom Portraits. The get away car was Chris's Hot Rod. With the car being red and Artillery Red in Chris's Army uniform, Laurel decided red was going to have to be the wedding color. Also coincidence that Chris loves Coke in bottles? I love how Chris and Laurel mesh so well. I loved this wedding. Hello Clarksville, I think I love you!" -laurakayphoto.com

The Reinvented Guest Book

Check out this AMAZING idea for a guest book! Jessica & Matt traded the traditional guest book for a "guest tree" - their wedding guests wrote inspiring (and sometimes hilarious) messages and tied them to branches of a tabletop tree. I LOVE this idea! It was so beautiful and fun and interactive, especially for the guest book attendant. :) Special thanks to Bethany Ann Photography for these fabulous photos of Jessica & Matt's "guest tree."
