An Enchanted Engagement at Front Porch Farms
Thursday, October 28, 2010
We get very excited when our favorite vendors are picked to be a part of events that make national headlines. When Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert had their engagement party they chose to celebrate it at Front Porch Farms. The food was catered by Chef's Market, the decor was superbly put together by Enchanted Florist with romantic and always spot-on lighting done by Nashville Event Lighting and everything was captured by Kristyn Hogan, lifestyle photographer. Enjoy!
An Enchanted Engagement at Front Porch Farms
First off, congratulations and all the best to Miranda and Blake. The team at Ashley's Bride Guide are excited for you both and look forward to the wedding day!
It certainly looked like the perfect day for a country engagement party! What blew me away was how the decorations and centerpieces were all perfectly rustic, as if they were all found objects from a flea market or an old-timey store. So I called up Caprice at Enchanted Florist and asked her what inspired her. "We wanted it to look like you rummaged through found objects and put it all together. We wanted a vintage country feel vs. a literal country feel which is why we used more found objects."
Each table is was covered in its own quilt, and each centerpiece was different from the next. I also love the use of real pieces of wood, which Caprice explained was to keep it somewhat masculine. "We placed the centerpieces on quilts and we didn’t mind if they were tattered or worn - that was teh whole point. We wanted to use very random things which is why we used different quilts. We used burlap, all of the vessels - mason jars, tins, boxes or hats, those were just objects we gthered or had.
Caprice: Yellow roses are the state flower of Texas (where Miranda was born), which Cathy of Front Port Farms suggested they use as a nod to the Lone Star State.
The couple had given Caprice free reign to the decor. "it’s very interesting because people who say “I just totally trust you, I know what you do is great, here is my budget have at it.” It allows you be creative but it’s more pressure than doing something where they know exactly what they’re getting... it was an interesting experience and it was fun to have freedom like that."

Blogging is something I’ve enjoyed doing for years. My interests lie mostly in lifestyle related topics like fashion, style, design, food and weddings. When I heard Ashley was looking to bring on new members to the ABG team, I jumped at the opportunity - I can’t think of a better way to stay involved in weddings than to write about them and to stay in touch with the trends and new ideas. Lucky for me, Ashley likes my blog and trusts my experience to bring me on and so far, it’s been a blast.
