A Barn Wedding So Gorgeous, You Have to See It to Believe It Childhood classmates turned high school sweethearts, Jacque and Kevin said their “I do’s” on a gorgeous August day at their Mayowood Stone Barn wedding. Their rustic chic affair was nothing shy of amazing and the mint colored bridesmaid dresses beautifully complemented the soft, natural colors of the venue. Surrounded by friends and family, the social couple wanted a day filled with fabulous food, great music, and lots of fun dancing. In the end, their rustic barn wedding was an absolute dream come true. A barn wedding that’s oh so chic. Q. How did he pop the question? A. I had been looking forward to 4th of July weekend for a long time. Kevin and I were both in the middle of grad school and could not wait to relax with family and friends on the Mississippi River. After a perfect day of swimming, cocktails, family, and friends, we started heading back to the dock for the day. On the way in, Kevin’s mom said, “I’m not ready to go in, let’s go for a sunset cruise!” We boated around for a while, and eventually Kevin said, “Alright, stop the boat!” I didn’t think much of it, until he was down on one knee! I was so shocked, and I think my first response was “Shut up!” immediately followed by an “of course”! Q. Why did you choose Kennedy Blue for your girls? A. We loved the Kennedy blue dresses the moment the girls tried them on. They were flattering on all of my bridesmaids, and the girls said that they were super comfortable. I loved the mint colored bridesmaid dresses and also loved that it was a little different from most of mints that I had seen. The girls felt like beautiful goddesses, and the long, flowy dresses fit right in with the style of my rustic chic wedding. Q. Describe your "couple's style". A. Kevin and I have a very “easy” relationship. It sounds pretty cliché’, but he is my best bud and there is never a time when I don’t want him around. We are both very easy going, and neither of us like conflict. Of course we are nowhere near perfect, but our personalities sync very well. Q. What advice would you give to other brides? A. I am going to give advice that I definitely did not follow: Keep it simple and follow your gut. While planning, all decisions seem difficult. Try not to over think them. Try to make decisions right away rather than putting them off and stressing. It is easier said than done, but you will be happier when everything is set in stone.
