Ellis and Minda knew they wanted to have a Thanksgiving wedding, and they planned their festive celebration in just under three months. The result was this Thanksgiving wedding… an intimate, budget-friendly day that definitely achieved both with their faith-and-art-focused wedding at Pinecote Pavilion in Mississippi. And you’ll see tons of Wes Anderson details!
Let’s check out this Thanksgiving wedding…
These two pulled in their family and friends to help out: it turns out they’re related to a minister, a florist, and the pair of photographer-videographer-DJs that make up Post & Beam Co. The love these guys have for nature is clear — there are so many animal and plant touches. These guys are also big-time Wes Anderson fans, and used a bit of the filmmaker’s style — especially with references to Fantastic Mr. Fox.

That dress!!! Oh my goodness that dress.
It’s so soft and romantic. Makes her look like a painting!
Yes, as an artist who paints live at weddings for a living, I totally agree! She looks like Botticelli’s Venus. Just gorgeous.
Loving all the details!
LOVE everything about this. the dress is breathtaking. the details are awesome
That venue is AMAZING! WANT!! I’m in New Zealand, so we have our share of prettiness, but no-one does beautiful lakes and beautiful trees quite like the U.S 🙂
that dress is absolutely awesome
holy crap that dress <33333333
Thank you all for your kind comments, and a great BIG thank you to the site for featuring our wedding!!
THAT DRESS!! *swoon* Looks absolutely incredible on the bride, and is just the most floaty, sweet, romantic garment. I also like the fall touches to the wedding decor – inspirational for my own fall wedding!
I am in love with this wedding. It’s so not even close to my style and I am just blown away at the warmth and love that exudes from all of these pictures.
I followed Minda’s link for her wedding dress because I wanted to pin it to my Pinterest account, but when I got there I was really disappointed. I couldn’t believe it was the same dress. The original design on the host site did nothing for me. If I hadn’t seen Minda first, I never would have given it a second glance. Minda looks so gosh darn beautiful in her dress that she puts the “model” to shame! So, I pinned Minda to my page instead. She just brings all the detail to life! STUNNING!
You are so sweet! I have always thought the catalog picture of this dress leaves something to be desired. It helped me to see it on other brides as well!! I didn’t get to try on the dress before ordering…I just held up the size 8 they had to my body, haha sooo I started to freak a little when I couldn’t pick it up until the week of the wedding!! I looked at the pics on the Wtoo site and worried I made the wrong choice… Then it came and it was PERFECT for me. I did add an underlay for more glam/modesty as well.
Honestly, you are beyond beautiful!
oh my goodness this wedding is soooo beautiful! And it was pulled off in under 3 months?! That is amazing, I would have guessed a year + Everything looks so magical and pretty, I wish I could have been there
That dress is gorgeous and the groom’s attire suited their “Thanksgiving wedding” theme perfectly! Absolutely breathtaking couple!!!
Hey minda.. I love this dress! I tried it on and fell in love. I would love to know more about your sleeves.. Did you do them yourself? How did you match the fabric?
Such a beautiful wedding, love the groom’s gettup and the bride looked like a faerie princess!
Love the baskets on the reception tables – what goodies did you have in them to share?
