We both are from North Carolina and love southern things so I knew Longstraw Farms would be perfect. I love outdoor weddings with tons of florals and charm. Our wedding was filled with precious moments including the first look with my dad, our first dance, the speeches, and many more. We had tons of fun dancing the night away with our friends and family. It was a day we will never forget.<\/p>\n<p>Hands down the best part of our wedding day was walking down the aisle. I picked out the song I wanted walk down to a year before the wedding and had listened to it a million times. It was so great to finally do what I had envisioned so many times. My sweet husband cried and of course so did I. It was everything that I ever wished for and more.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9345.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-5263 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9345-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Real Essense of Australia Bride Ashley + Steve\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9345-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9345-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9345-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9345.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9739.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-5264 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9739-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Real Essense of Australia Bride Ashley + Steve\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9739-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9739-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9739-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9748.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-5265 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9748-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Real Essense of Australia Bride Ashley + Steve\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9748-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9748-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9748-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9779.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-5266 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9779-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Real Essense of Australia Bride Ashley + Steve\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9779-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9779-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9779-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9779.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9781.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-5267 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9781-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Real Essense of Australia Bride Ashley + Steve\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9781-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9781-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9781-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9781.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9818.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-5268 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9818-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Real Essense of Australia Bride Ashley + Steve\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9818-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9818-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9818-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_9818.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Photography by<a href=\"http:\/\/www.aliciaqphotography.com\/\">\u00a0Alicia Quintanar<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drawing on their love of all things southern, real Essense of Australia bride, Ashley, filled their wedding day with special southern-inspired touches.
