Q/A’s with Bride to be, Jess, about their midwest engagement session:

To make the save the date signs:Take a plain piece of wood of any size or shape. Choose your base color that you want to show through and paint the entire piece. I used an acrylic paint. Let dry completely. Take Elmer’s All Purpose Glue and cover the paint entirely. I used my finger to spread it out (don’t worry about it being perfectly spread out or even, it adds character). Let sit for about 10-15 seconds (until tacky) and then paint your top coat on top. Let air dry or use hair dryer and you will start to see the cracks come through! The letters are done with a stencil and the same base coat paint. Let dry and there are your signs!!

How’d you two meet? I had heard Chase was a new transfer student for the baseball team and we had seen each other around campus a few times. Many of our friends were mutual and they thought it would be a good idea to set us up on a date. The story goes on from there.

Favorite part of the engagement session? Walking around all the little shops in Nashville and looking at the unique stores and buildings that are tucked away. We loved being able to include Juno in our pictures as she is part of our family.

Wedding plans? The ceremony is at Asbury United Methodist Church on August 18, 2012 with the reception following at Factory 12 event loft. Colors for the wedding are purple and grey and the theme is going to be based around a rustic, cozy, friend and family atmosphere.
