EXCLUSIVE: ‘7 Little Johnstons’ Stars Lay Bare Nightmare of Turning Family Home Into an Idyllic Venue for Liz and Brice’s Wedding
A lot goes into sprucing up a house to ready it for hosting an event, as the stars of “7 Little Johnstons” learned when planning a wedding in the backyard of the family home in Georgia.
For Liz Johnston and Brice Bolden, who share daughter Leighton Bolden, 2, and just announced that they have another baby on the way, transforming the Johnston family’s ranch-style abode in Forsyth into a bonafide wedding venue for their November 2025 nuptials meant clearing infected trees from the backyard field where they intended to place a tent for the reception.
Throughout the TLC series that features the tight knit family of seven who all have achondroplasia dwarfism, the Peach State property owned by Liz’s parents, Amber and Trent Johnston, has served as home base for Liz and her four siblings: Jonah, Anna, Alex, and Emma.
Shortly after Liz got engaged to her longtime boyfriend in May 2025 during a beach vacation to Pensacola, FL, the bride-to-be decided there’d be no better place to say “I do” than her mom and dad’s sprawling estate, so the family sprang into action to plan the fall affair.
Liz and Brice’s road to the outdoor altar has taken center stage on Season 17 of the show, which premiered March 17.
But excitement over the couple’s engagement very quickly turned into stress about wedding day logistics with all the talks about the timeline, concerns over costs, and an eventful dress shopping trip.
On an upcoming episode of the show, Liz, along with Brice and her parents, meet Julie, the wedding planner, for a site visit behind the Johnston home to work out where everything will go on the big day—and what will need to be removed beforehand.
In an exclusive clip from the forthcoming episode, titled “It’s Giving Bridesmaids,” the Johnstons welcome Julie into their farmhouse-inspired entryway, and the wedding expert wastes no time taking the lead of the meeting.
“Y’all ready to plan?” she says. “Yeah, let’s go see it.”
As the group makes its way through white French doors and out to the backyard, Trent casually drops some advice for his future son-in-law about how to handle what’s about to be discussed.
