Y’all, this is a classic, southern wedding done right!! I can’t get over all the little thoughtful details that brought this beautiful day together. Magnolia blooms and leaves were sprinkled throughout the whole day, right down to Mary’s “Beautiful Magnolia” perfume. They even had their ceremony right underneath a beautiful magnolia tree! I also love all the use of this hydrangea blue and the beautiful ginger jars throughout the reception – perfection!

Mary & John had the SWEETEST first look! They really let their emotions show and soaked up this time, just the two of them. A lot of couples worry that doing a first look will take away from the groom’s reaction of seeing his bride walk down the aisle, but John still almost lost it when he saw Mary coming towards him during the ceremony. It was the sweetest thing!  You can see the rain clouds were all around them, yet somehow, we avoided the rain! A wedding day miracle! They followed it up with a PARTY with an amazing live band and ended the night with a bubble send off! What an amazing day!

Cheers to Mr. & Mrs. Mathena! Wishing you guys a lifetime of happiness together and hoping that every time you see a magnolia tree, it brings you back to this amazing day!
