The elegant three-tiered pound cake was adorned with a single fresh flower.
The couple traveled from the ceremony to the reception in this classic Cadillac.
Garlands of roses decorated the backs of the newlyweds' chairs at the reception.
A simple silk runner showcased the exposed wood of the farm-style tables. Bunches of roses, hydrangeas and greenery lined the center.
The linen-wrapped menu cards rested on pewter chargers and were topped with a sprig of lavender.
The white tented escort cards were displayed on a wooden table along with intentionally mismatched floral arrangements.
Different-size lanterns were hung at varying heights from the tent's ceiling, creating a truly magical effect as the night wore on.
Guests sipped on sweet-tea-infused vodka with lemonade.
Liz says she realized how much she liked Scott when she continued to keep seeing him after their first date - he spilled an entire bottle of red wine on her!
Liz's nude peep-toe pumps featured large, flirty bows.
Hints of green made Liz's earthy arrangement of white roses and carnations pop against her gown.
Liz's maids carried organic green bunches of baby hydrangeas, lisianthus, lady's mantle and trick dianthus.
Liz knew that this strapless tulle gown with organza embroidery was the one the moment she tried it on.
