Melody

We are so excited to kick off our first ever Wedding Week with one of our very own. For those of you who are new to us, Melody is the baker extraordinaire behind many of the creations you can find here on ‘Half Baked.’ She also happens to be Ms. Rachel Hollis’ sister and ‘bestie.’ So naturally, we wanted to share the details of Melody and Jakes lovely, Southern inspired wedding. Set at the Hollis’ home, this wedding is intimate, sweet and homey. So come on in, get comfortable and take a peek at the summer day that Jake and Melody got married.
