Farm-Style Wedding Celebration

Their Story

Julie and Josh dated throughout their time at the University of Tennessee, but after graduation she moved to New York City and he made his home in Nashville. “We were on again and off again,” Julie remembers. “And eventually we decided we had to either do it right or call it off.” The pair was engaged shortly thereafter and began planning a charming Tennessee farm-style wedding, complete with wildflower bouquets and fried chicken.
