Make It Personal: Emma & Payton Blend Classic & Creative Touches In Wedding At Private Family Home
Friday, February 13, 2015
There is nothing like getting married at your family home. It makes an already special day, even more special. Jusk ask Emma and Payton, who were married last summer at Emma’s parent’s home and then headed over to the Stone Fox for a rockin’ after party.
With the help of their musician friends and Emma’s artistic skills, the Bradford wedding was one-of-a-kind and truly represented the couple's style and interests. The couple even drove off in a beautiful vintage car, which was perfectly captured by SheHeWe Photography!

Wedding Details
How would you describe your style as a couple?
Because Payton is a musician and I’m an art teacher, we appreciate creativity, but are still fairly traditional.
How did you incorporate that style into your wedding?
Payton found all the musicians to play at the reception and after party with the help of some friends in Nashville. Our friend Drew Beskin sang the first dance songs. I created the artwork for the programs, hotel packets, and coozies. We chose to have the wedding at home and the Nashville after-party at the Stone Fox because they are places we know and love.
What was your (or your guests’) favorite aspect of your wedding?
We really loved how personal the whole thing was. It incorporated our interests, style, and favorite people & places.
Where did you splurge? Where did you save/DIY?
We splurged on a great band for the Stone Fox and on the food for the reception. We saved by creating the artwork and website ourselves and by not using a wedding planner. Also, the tablecloths were linens from my mother, grandmother and Aunt.
Did any Nashville wedding vendors stand out as exceptional?
We LOVED working with SheHeWe. They are a wonderfuly laid back couple who make you feel at ease from the beginning. We could not have been happier getting to know them and having the beautful photographs from that entire weekend.
All of the people involved with the weekend were amazing. We would recommend each and every one involved for wedding events or any occasion!
Now that the wedding day is over, is there anything about your planning process you feel you could have done differently?
I wish that I took more time to sit back and take it all in. Everything moved so quickly that we blinked and were in the car leaving the reception. It goes by very quickly.
In one sentence, what words of advice do you have for couples in the midst of their planning?
Don’t worry! If you didn’t think of it, odds are your guests won’t either and everyone is just there to celebrate you two.
