Hannah + Chandler | Colorful, Charming Spring Wedding at Emerson Fields
“Hiring Terra was easily one of the best decisions I made during the wedding process. Terra and her team allowed me and my family to enjoy my wedding day without any stress and it was such a perfect day thanks to them. If you are reading this review, and considering hiring her, just hire her you won’t regret it.”
Hey friends! I can't wait to share all the details of Hannah and Chandler's incredible spring wedding at Emerson Fields, a gorgeous white wedding venue located just north of Columbia, Missouri. Get ready for a burst of colors, stunning floral designs, and a whole lot of love in the air. It was truly a day to remember. Let's dive into their story and experience the magic together!
You know how much Hannah adores the color blue, right? Well, her wedding was a celebration of vibrant hues! With the help of the talented team at Dzines by T, the entire venue was transformed into a kaleidoscope of breathtaking floral arrangements. From the ceremony setup to the cute little bud vases, touches of blue were everywhere, adding a pop of joy to the day. Oh, and let me tell you about the charming vintage lounges provided by Pretty Little Things. They had these cozy pieces in soft blue and pink where guests could relax and soak in the amazing day of celebration.
The day kicked off with the bridal party and groomsmen getting ready in separate spaces. Laughter and excitement filled the air as everyone prepared for the big moment. Meanwhile, our team was hard at work, ensuring every detail was just perfect by finishing up some minor setup so that the bridal party could focus on the celebration.
One of the most magical moments of the day was when Hannah and Chandler exchanged their personal vows. They wanted a serene and intimate setting, away from the crowd. So, with the assistance of our team along with the photo/video team, they were whisked away on golf carts to a peaceful shaded meadow. Surrounded by nature's beauty, they shared their heartfelt promises to each other. It was a moment filled with love and deep connection.
Before the ceremony, they dedicated time for their photographs. With the talented photographers and the supportive event team, the couple took portraits with their wedding party and their families so that after the ceremony, they could focus on being with their guests who had traveled from far distances to be part of the special day.
“She helps you think of every detail so you don’t have to be making decisions or stress during the wedding day. Her team is so nice and supportive so you just feel like you have a team of cheerleaders helping you throughout the day. They are just so excited to execute your wedding vision without judging you or criticizing you. It’s just such a positive experience.”
The ceremony itself was incredibly heartfelt and personal. Can you believe that one of the groomsmen officiated the whole thing? It was such a special touch, making the ceremony even more meaningful. And let me tell you, when Chandler twirled Hannah around and dipped her for a kiss as they recessed out from the ceremony, it was a moment that took our breath away. Pure magic, my friend!
Instead of a traditional cocktail hour, Hannah and Chandler decided to keep things low-key. They made a grand entrance without their wedding party, going straight into their first dance under the twinkling string lights. The atmosphere was electric, and they danced to the tunes of Shania Twain. It was a moment filled with love, laughter, and pure joy.
Dinner was an absolute delight, and the speeches and special dances added an extra layer of warmth and love to the evening. Oh, and you should've seen Hannah and Chandler during the sunset portraits. The lighting was absolutely stunning, and the venue's picturesque lake served as a breathtaking backdrop. Of course, they couldn't forget to cut the cake! Cakes by Kristina created a masterpiece that looked as good as it tasted. After that sweet moment, it was time to hit the dance floor and celebrate with their loved ones. The energy was infectious, and everyone had the time of their lives.
“I think getting a coordinator would be the first thing I would recommend to anyone, and if they can afford more and are busy, then I would recommend getting a full planner.”
As the night came to an end, it was time for the sparkler exit. Cheers and laughter filled the air as Hannah and Chandler walked through a path of flickering lights. It was the perfect way to bid farewell to an unforgettable day and mark the beginning of a new chapter in their lives. Hannah and Chandler's spring wedding at Emerson Fields was a vibrant celebration of love and happiness. With a burst of colors, stunning floral designs, and heartfelt moments, it was a day that will be cherished forever. I feel so lucky to have been a part of their special day, and I'll always remember the joy and magic that filled the air.

Hey, I’m Terra!
Born and raised in Missouri, I’m a grateful wife and dog mom to my rescue pups, Hildi & Lola. I’m a true believer in the pursuit of bold dreams, learning from mistakes, and staying curious.
I'm a girl that lives in her Chacos during the summer, and I'm typically always wearing lipstick. Yes, red is my preference! When I'm not helping engaged couples plan weddings, you'll find me on stage teaching Jazzercise classes. Needless to say, creating engaging experiences that leave people feeling good afterwards is my passion. Seriously!
I’ve created this blog and my wedding packages to empower you to plan an awesome wedding day and put all of the stress and obligations straight into the dumpster! Now that sounds like a party.
