Congratulations to Shawna and Adam on their October nuptials. The couple truly included country western elements into their wedding ceremony. The bride and groom let their personalities and fun loving nature shine throughout their special day. Shawna chose a lace wedding gown with a chapel train. The strapless dress was a classic A-line design featuring a feminine corset-fashion back. The bride’s mother added elegant lace shoulder straps to the gown and handmade the elbow length veil. Stylish cowgirl boots and a splash of lime green lace to the underskirt of Shawna’s wedding dress enhanced her color theme (read more here).
The bridesmaids wore matching lime green dresses with blaze orange sashes and cowgirl boots of their choice. The groom and groomsmen wore Cinch shirts, brown vests and Cinch jeans. The men all donned their own cowboy hats during the recessional. The cowboy hats were placed on pew hooks prior to the ceremony replacing traditional bows. Lining the aisle was an assortment of cowboy boots filled with prairie grasses next to each pew. The ring bearer wore custom made chaps by Caleb Conner and the flower girl carried a bucket of Kansas wheat.
Adam swept Shawna off her feet with THE KISS at the altar that dipped her backwards. It was a precious moment to seal their vows. The new Mr. and Mrs. walked down the aisle to the recessional song “Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident)” by American country music artist John Michael Montgomery. Their wedding was so well scripted it was like watching a scene from the Hallmark Movie Channel. Cowboy Lifestyle Network did ask for a second kiss staged so we could take a photo to share.
“We met at the Manhattan Commission Company (sale barn). We work every Friday together during the sale,” stated Shawna. Following the church ceremony the newlyweds greeted guests before walking through an archway of bubbles towards the getaway vehicle. Holding true to their country roots and playing off their sale barn experience; red carpet lead them to a decorated stock trailer filled with straw bales and coolers full of Coors Beer and Pendleton Whiskey.
Shawna explained, “My maid of honor’s husband Nate Ateyo and another bridesmaid’s fiancé Tyler Lau decorated the trailer. They did everything for it and Nate’s dad drove us around.” The duo were all smiles and in small town Volga, South Dakota they were celebrities for the day.
Cowboy Lifestyle Network asked Shawna to share a few tips with other couples planning their Country Western Weddings. She insisted on “letting the groom make decisions otherwise when you really do want his opinion, he won’t give his input.”
