A little more than a year before Emily + Jon's wedding, they moved to Sweden from Athens, Georgia. But they wanted to celebrate their love back home, with all of their closest friends + fam, who were by their sides as their relationship grew. They kept things simple and hosted an intimate, modern-meets-elegant wedding at a beautiful Georgia chapel, followed by a fun reception at the Georgia Museum of Art. And in the end, their day felt like the best-ever homecoming; a big celebration of the Athens part of their lives!

Thanks so much to Heidi of Our Labor of Love for sharing these super gorge images with us today + big congratulations to Emily + Jon!

Doesn't Emily's bouquet, by Rosegolden Flowers, have the softest, sweetest feel? Loving all the romantic, muted hues!

Madly in love with that big, modern bow! Em's dress by Nicole Miller is definitely a new fave!

More flower love! Such a pretty contrast to the clean-lined, modern surroundings.

We had pretty strict restrictions on our options for the final getaway at the end of the reception so we decided we would just walk out and say good bye to everyone, but as we walked outside there were floodlights lighting up a gorgeous 1960's car. One of our ushers had secretly set it up with the wedding coordinator and it was a huge surprise!
