Katey and Brooks were married in early October. We were tickled when Katey called us to coordinate her wedding after we successfully coordinated her older sister’s wedding the previous June. Katey wanted a classic color palette of green and white that fit perfectly with her beautiful navy floor-length bridesmaids dresses. Floral designer, Buffy Hargett, did a beautiful job bringing Katey’s vision to life. Thank you to photographer Beth Hontzas for sharing the wonderful photographs with us!
The ceremony took place at Shades Valley Presbyterian Church. The New Hope Baptist Church Gospel Choir not only sang songs throughout the ceremony, but celebrated with “Oh Happy Day” after the couple was announced husband and wife. After the recessional, the bridal party loaded a bus provided by Rare Transportation so they could ride together to the reception.
A beautiful reception was held at Mountain Brook Country Club, immediately following the ceremony. The floral designer added a beautiful stone fountain to the front lawn of the country club to serve as a focal point as guests arrived. Here, the bride opted to incorporate white pumpkins as a nod to fall.
The cakes were designed by Magic Muffin Bakery. Katey chose a classic four-tier stucco design. Brooks chose to have his three favorite cakes – strawberry, peanut butter, and chocolate.
Guests danced the night away to the 14 Karat Gold Band. Halfway through the evening, the couple passed out “Mr. & Mrs.” foam fingers and sunglasses. They were a huge hit with not only the guests, but the band! Additionally, since the groom is a graduate of The University of Mississippi (Hotty Toddy!), ice artist, Nick Hartmann, made a Colonel Reb ice luge that the bartenders used to mix various martinis.
At the end of the evening, Katey and Brooks ran to the “getaway golfcart” while guests showered them with mini craft poms poms. Congratulations Katey and Brooks! We had a blast coordinating your special day, and being able to celebrate with your family one last time!
