A Rustic Country Wedding at Peabody’s Farm in Republic, Missouri

Amanda Frazier (25 and a photographer) and Preston Frazier (25 and works for UPS) met at a BBQ. A year later, they exchanged vows at the same place Amanda’s parents got married and with the same vows her parents shared. In addition to the sentimental value, the couple loved the laid-back style and country feel of the red barn and open fields at Peabody’s Farm. They built a rustic wooden wall accented with lace curtains for the bride to enter the ceremony through for a more intimate feel in the large space. They completed the look with vintage furniture, baby’s breath bouquets and a burlap-wrapped cake. Although they used mostly neutral colors, they added purple accents for a pop of color. Hy-Vee catered a buffet-style pasta bar for dinner. “We wanted the guests to eat, mingle and enjoy the venue,” Amanda says. “We had a handful of yard games for the kiddos, a photo booth set up and our DJ was amazing and played all the hit songs to get everyone dancing.”
