Sage green, blush, and hints of espresso. Blush was used throughout the celebration in loving memory of Caitlin, Megan’s big sister. These soft pink touches were a heartfelt tribute to her presence and spirit, woven gently into the day’s design. Sage green brought a calming, organic tone to the palette, grounding the florals and décor in a soft elegance. Hints of espresso added warmth and depth, a subtle nod to the fall season and the couple’s late October wedding date.

The couple’s vision for the day was to create a fun, relaxed, and welcoming atmosphere rooted in Southern tradition. Every detail was thoughtfully chosen to reflect warmth, hospitality, and a genuine sense of celebration among family and friends. They wanted guests to feel right at home, surrounded by beauty, comfort, and love. The design blended timeless Southern elegance with rich seasonal touches. Warm tones and espresso accents gave subtle nods to the fall season, while soft florals and velvet textures brought depth and softness to the space. The result was a romantic and inviting celebration that felt both personal and effortlessly stylish.

Timothy asked me to be his wife on April 6, 2024. The evening started with dinner with my family. From there, he took me to a special spot of ours, Chace Lake. When we got out of the car and onto the sidewalk that wrapped along the lake, there were pictures throughout the trail of memories we had made over the past 2 years of dating. At the end of the trail was a giant tree, where underneath was a spot he had set up, a bible with my new last name, candles, a letter, etc. There, he got on one knee and asked if I would be his wife. It was the easiest yes! We ended the night surrounded by the people we love most, celebrating a moment we’ll never forget.
