Country star Sara Evans' daughter is married!
Olivia Evans, who is a musician like her mother, married Blake Irwin in an elegant wedding attended by 173 guests at Southall Farm & Inn in Franklin, Tennessee, on Saturday, Sept. 20.
"These are the moments that you dream about when you have babies," Sara, 54, exclusively tells PEOPLE. "And when they actually happen, it is so surreal! I can't even describe how beautiful and perfect the wedding was, how fun the reception was, and just what a beautiful experience the whole thing was!"

The "Suds in the Bucket" singer, who welcomed daughters Olivia, 22, and Audrey, 20, and son Avery, 26, with ex-husband Craig Schelske, continues: "It is such a range of emotions, but we didn't lose a daughter, we gained a son! It was truly a fairytale wedding! I've never seen Olivia look so beautiful and Blake was such a handsome groom! We are so grateful to God!"
As a string quartet played Taylor Swift's "Invisible String," Evans walked down the aisle escorted by her stepfather Jay Barker. She wore a lace wedding dress by Galia Lahav.
"I knew as soon as I tried it on that it was the one," Olivia says. "I love this designer so much and it was an honor and a dream to get to wear one of her gowns."

Olivia and Irwin — who got engaged in November 2023 during a joint family Thanksgiving trip in Texas — exchanged traditional vows. Their outdoor ceremony in the meadow was officiated by the groom's oldest family friend, Del.
Indoors, the reception space was decorated in elegant shades of green, white, plum and dark red. Even the three-tiered almond amaretto and sour cream pound cake was adorned with deep magenta calla lilies.
After the newlyweds shared their first dance to "Something Like Olivia" by John Mayer, they joined their guests for a family-style served dinner.

"I couldn't have asked for better weather, company, photos, design, and just an overall sense of peace," she shares. "The dancing, the drinks, the family, the promise that Blake and I made to never leave each other's sides all night made it beyond what I could've imagined."
The wedding was planned by Jessica Sloane, who made the day visually "stunning" and planning "seamless and easy on every front."

"We are so in love," Olivia says. "Being able to make vows before God and family and friends was such an incredible feeling and both of us have been so excited to do. Seeing Blake with a ring on his finger brings me so much joy and comfort that I can't explain. My parents and family is my rock and they made this day possible.
