Nell + Donnie | A Boho Fall Wedding at Sorenson Estate
When I think of memorable weddings, I will always think of Nell and Donnie’s fall, boho wedding. I’ve known Nell since she was a sophomore in high school, so this particular marriage celebration was extremely exciting to me. I felt like that older sister, proud of my younger sibling who has come so far. Nell and Donnie celebrated their marriage at Sorenson Estate, which is a beautiful wedding venue nestled in a secluded area not to far from the hustle and bustle of Columbia, Missouri.
They selected the perfect color palette for the fall; we loved the rich hues of oranges and variety of peach-y pinks of the florals that Bare Roots designed. Nell was stunning with her copper eyeshadow and chic hair ornament that accented her long flowing hair. The day was full of tender moments, whether during the ceremony, toasts, or special dances - it was hard to not fight back joy-filled tears all day long.

HIGHLIGHTS
Nell has an incredibly close relationship with her mother, and they exchanged a mother/daughter dance during the reception. However, Nell is also extremely close to her uncles, so during her dance with mom, her uncles approached the dance floor and took turns dancing with the bride. Needless to say, it was a sentimental moment.
The bride and groom chose to not have a first look with each other. Instead, they did first looks with the opposite person’s attendants. We loved the groom’s father’s reaction to seeing Nell for the very first time in her wedding day attire.
Nell is a bit of an artist herself, so she created a paint-by-number of her dog, Freda. Guests were encouraged to paint a section of the sketch; it was such a fun, creative idea for guests to entertain themselves and a fun keepsake for after the wedding.
We provided Event Management & Hospitality services for Nell & Donnie, which included attending a variety of planning meetings, creating a detailed timeline, facilitating the rehearsal, managing their wedding day, bussing tables, event setup & teardown, and so much more. We wish this amazing couple the most blessed marriage. Thank you both for inviting Plan it Terra to be part of your special day.

“I’ve know Terra for about 10 years now. She’s always been such a sweet, passionate, and caring person. She’s incredibly talented at what she does. My husband and I were pretty anxious about all the tasks we needed to complete for our wedding, and she gave us a month by month list which lowered our anxiety a TON! She was always hands on, and was so professional with our vendors (and knows EVERYONE!) she had great ideas and recommendations along the way that helped us in the planning process tremendously. Most importantly- she’s a friend, and she truly wants your wedding to be special. ❤️”
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.
