Jacob and Carmen

What a blissful and compassionate couple! Jacob and Carmen were married on March 24 at sunset. The weather on their special day was magnificent and they got some gorgeous outdoor photos on our bridge and in front of the chapel. Carmen's mother and sister arranged her bouquets and floral arrangements and they were unbelievable! Some of our favorites that we have seen! They had some lovely personal touches including unity sand, a creative and cute reading, and a fun "I Spy" game for guests at the reception. Here are a few photos we caught throughout the day! 

Right after their "first look" on the bridge they took a few formal shots inside the chapel. They were both just beaming and giddy with excitement. 

The fantastically fun bridal party! 

Those amazing bouquets we were talking about! Look at all the details! Jewels, feathers, burlap, the list goes on and on! We are so impressed Gloria! 

Beautiful Carmen. Her joy was so radiant. 

The bridal bouquet also incorporated a coin of her grandfather's and her grandmother's wedding band. Such special touches. 

 Saying their vows. So sweet. 

The couple was escorted to the reception with a tunnel of sparklers! 

We are so happy for you Carmen and Jacob! Thank you for sharing your special day with us! God bless you and your newly formed family! 

Eric and Jennifer

Eric and Jennifer were married the evening of December 31st and had a gorgeous ceremony and reception. They were the most gracious and fun loving couple. We LOVED Jennifer's dress and matching headpiece and when we were able to witness Eric and Jennifer together it was a special moment each time. We were so blessed to be able to share in their celebration. Congrats you two!!

Reciting their vows to each other. Such a sentimental moment.  

Such a cute way yo put it! 

We loved the winter wonderland theme and these centerpieces added to it perfectly!!  

Gorgeous white roses and the sweetest notes on each guests' plate.

Somebody has an eye on that awesome cake :)  

So in love and so beautiful!! The sunset on their wedding day was absolutely magical.  

See what we mean about that dress!?! We were so happy that they made great use of our lovely bridge for their pictures! 

Congratulations again Eric and Jennifer, we are so happy for you!! We wish you nothing but the best!! 

Andrew and Jodi

Andrew and Jodi were married November 12 and had a fabulous reception at The Stables afterword. All day long they were just giddy with excitement and their wedding was truly a joy to be a part of. They had some really neat aspects to their wedding and we wanted to share them with you! 

Their guest book was a photo book featuring all of their engagement photos. 

At the rehearsal Jodi changed her entrance song from "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desire" to a more dramatic song we had on file and it was amazing! We are still basking in the moment of the doors swinging open!!

We thought their centerpieces were the coolest! They looked beautiful in The Stables. 

The leaves on the cake were the perfect touch for a fall wedding, plus everything is better with some sparkle!!

Don't you just want that in your house?! So pretty!

Those rolls look so yummy! Another great meal provided by our chef, Jaime Akers.

Such an amazing sunset that night, and such an amazing couple!!

Once again, we wish you nothing but the best Jodi and Andrew! Thanks for choosing to celebrate with us!!

Fall Wedding: Lisa and Adam

This last week at Integrity Hills we were thrilled to celebrate the wedding of Lisa and Adam. They are a beautiful couple who tied the knot November 3rd at 3:00 in the afternoon and had a lovely reception afterwards at The Stables. 

The newlyweds pose for a picture for their guests after they danced their first dance. Look how happy they look!  

The Stables were decorated with some beautiful arrangements from Petals in Branson.  

The head table sat ten other people next to the bride and groom and was decorated with more arrangements from Petals. 

The couple also decided to decorate with photos of their parents and grandparents on their wedding days. What a beautiful tribute to their marriages! 

The amazing cake was  done by Pastries by Carla and it looked even better in person! 

Look at those yummy rolls!! The Integrity Hills staff and Chef Jaime Akers are hard at work dishing up dinner. (Integrity Hills Catering is provided by Chef Jamie Akers and in partnership with his staff at Jamie's Creative Catering) After a brief hors d'oeuvres period, a delicious dinner was served and then followed by some dancing!  

The precious ring bearer and flower girl took a break from the dancing to let us snag a photo. Aren't they adorable? 

The sunset was INCREDIBLE on Thursday night!  

It still doesn't hold a candle to Lisa though! We loved her beaded lace dress, it seemed to suite her so well. 

And look at that dashing groom! Wow he looks so happy and excited! 

Once again we wanted to say a big congratulations to Lisa and Adam! We wish you all the best and we are so glad you chose to celebrate with us at Integrity Hills. 

Stables Update

We may be closed on Mondays but we're always working on something.  Yesterday was a productive Monday on the Stables.   "The Guys" put in the first plywood on the upper deck and the first rock on the fireplace.  All in all, not too bad of a day.

For all you couples planning your receptions for next year in the Stables, we're ahead of schedule and it's exceeding our expectations.  We're off to market this week to pick out china, sinks, rocking chairs, and all the neat details.  Stay tuned for pictures.

Here are some neat photos Rob took this weekend of the sun coming through the trees.  The Ozarks are always so beautiful!
