Animated Mini Show Inspired Wedding at Habersham Mills

Clare Looney (21 and works in campus ministry at SCAD) and Bradley Knudsen’s (24 and a coffee roaster) journey hasn’t exactly been an animated miniseries—but that’s exactly what they shaped their wedding after. “Our primary inspiration was our favorite show, Over the Garden Wall,” Clare says. “It’s a cozy yet macabre walk through an environment where nothing is as it seems.” For their celebration, this translated into crawling vines of ivy on Habersham Mills’s walls, earth tones, flower rings and vintage touches.
Clare and Bradley tied the knot in the Roving Room at Habersham Mills, adding an asymmetric pampas grass arch. “The space is surrounded by nature and maybe a little haunted,” Bradley says. “We loved it.”
Clare and Bradley sipped cabernet sauvignon and Athens’s own Creature Comforts beer by candlelight as they took in the sights of the reception. “My favorite moment came once we finally sat down at our head table and overlooked the rows of our friends and family,” Clare says. “The sun went down, the room grew darker and I was struck by the beauty of it all.” Clare picked a strawberry cake with buttercream, while Bradley chose mocha with chocolate ganache.
