Christy + Austin | A Classy Fall Wedding with a Stunning Neutral Color Palette

Hosting Christy + Austin’s classy and romantic North Georgia wedding reminded us of everything we love about an elegant wedding at our pink marble mansion! The adorable couple has the sweetest love story, and their celebration let their personalities shine through. We’re thankful Paris Mountain Photography was there to capture these breathtaking moments!

We’re a sucker for good love stories, and Christy + Austin’s had us swooning! The couple met back in high school and Christy’s crush began right then. Through school athletics, mainly basketball, the couple became good friends. After their friendship continued to grow, they began dating six years later. Now, almost four years later, the sweet couple is married and our beautiful bride Christy is here to tell us about the special day below. Enjoy and happy Wedding Wednesday!

What was your wedding date and why did you choose it?

October 1st. I knew that I had to have a fall wedding. After looking at our busy calendar, we fell in love with the date! Plus, it’s easy for Austin to remember for our future anniversaries!

What was your overall vision for your wedding?

We wanted a very classy and traditional wedding. I wanted it full of neutral colors and elegant décor. Having amazing flowers were a HUGE deal to me!

What do you feel was the most special component of your wedding?

Austin and I both come from divorced parents. There will probably never be another time in our life that our entire families are together. There is nothing better than being in a room full of friends and family knowing that they are there to celebrate one of your biggest life events.

How involved was your groom in the wedding planning process?

I am a HUGE planner. He wasn’t too involved. Luckily, he knew I had a vision, trusted me with it, and let me stick to it!

Did you have a wedding theme or color pallet?

We had a very neutral color palette: blush, ivory, champagne, and light gray. We added gold glitter to different areas to give it a small glamour-boost. We chose the neutral pallet to give the wedding a classy feel. The Tate House was the perfect backdrop for these colors!

How important are the typical wedding traditions?

Tradition was extremely important. We wanted a very traditional ceremony with standard wedding vows. We followed a traditional timeline during our reception as well.

Why did you choose the Tate House as your wedding venue?

After touring a few venues, we found the Tate House listed on The Knot. I visited their website and knew I had to schedule an appointment to tour it. After my mom, Austin, and I visited the Tate House, I called my dad immediately and told him that we had to put the deposit down that day as I had fallen in love with the venue. There is also no other location like it. It is in a small town in the foothills of the mountains. When you are there, everything in sight is picture-perfect.
