On May 1, 2021, I got married in Little Rock, Arkansas.
It was probably one of the most fun days of my entire life and I wanted to share all of our details in case anyone else is looking to get married in Little Rock.
Little Rock Wedding Church Venue
We got married at Pulaski Heights United Methodist Church in Little Rock, AR. The church does an amazing job with weddings, I believe this has to be one of the most gorgeous churches in Little Rock.
We decided to do first-look photos before the ceremony. We were both nervous about the whole thing (not each other, just getting it right with the ceremony) so we thought seeing each other first would help with those nerves.
When it came to hair and makeup, I went with Jamie Lynn Jones. She's absolutely the best!
My dress was from Nordstrom by the brand Tadashi Shoji. I found it online and didn't feel the need to keep looking.
Little Rock Wedding Reception Venue
The best place I found for a wonderful wedding reception site in Little Rock was Heifer International. Luckily we had perfect weather for the event, but had we not, there is heat and the doors can be open or closed depending on conditions,
Wedding Ideas for Guests to Sign
For our wedding, I didn't want to do a book for everyone to sign, instead, I had cards and envelopes for everyone to either leave their best wishes, or tips for a good marriage. They have been fun to open here and there throughout our last year of marriage.
Little Rock Wedding Cake
Our wedding cake was created by Blue Cake Company in Little Rock, AR. We did a mix of red velvet and vanilla cake. It was DELICIOUS and I crave the red velvet cake all the time.
The cake topper was created by Jon Hatton on Etsy. He was able to use the same typography that we had used throughout our wedding.
The flowers were from Sam's Club. (I used a lot of flowers from Sam's club for the wedding.)
Little Rock Wedding Catering
For our catered food, we used Contigo at Heifer, which is also part of the Sauced Bar and Oven restaurant family. They did a fantastic job. Each table received its own cheese board, salad and then they delivered pizzas around during the reception.
Little Rock Wedding Band
For our live band, we used Rip Van Shizzle. They were SO MUCH FUN! I love a live band at a wedding. If anyone is interested in their contact information, let me know and I'll send it along.
Our wonderful Little Rock wedding photographer was Makenzie Evans. I wouldn't have hired anyone else.
It was still one of the most fun, exciting, happy, lovely days that I've been able to experience in my life.
Thank you for reading!

It looks like a wonderful wedding! The church is gorgeous and I love your dress. I also found "the one" and didn't have to keep looking after trying it on. We didn't do first look photos but I can see how it would help with nerves.
ReplyDeleteYou had such a lovely wedding! I love the live band, and Makenize certainly did an amazing job with your photos!
ReplyDeleteThis reception venue is super cute! It's exactly the type of place I would have liked to find for our wedding.
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice looking church- most Methodist churches I have seen are rather plain. And your choice of reception venue looks like it was a good one, too!
ReplyDeleteThe overall setup n venue looks good. I like such planned events.
