Real Mississippi Wedding: Bailey + Sage

by in Real Southern Weddings on

Judging by these fabulous images from Stephanie Rhea Photography, I’d have to say this Mississippi bride more than succeeded in pulling off a wedding that oozed simple Southern elegance when she and her college sweetheart (and fellow Auburn U. alum!) said their I-Do’s.  Now we all known I’m the tuxedo’s #1 fan, but I really love that the groom and his attendants spiffed up their classic wedding day bests with white bowties.  Ultra-formal, dashing and oh-so-Southern!  Of course, Bailey’s Heidi Elnora gown is one of the most figure-flattering choices we’ve seen in awhile but the bridesmaids’ one-shouldered blue gowns from Bella Bridesmaid?  I love (repeat: l.o.v.e.) these dresses!  I like when bride’s keep their bouquets simple and understated (white peonies from The Pantry Catering and Event Designs really complemented this real-life Southern wedding’s classic vibe) but also appreciate when couples infuse sophisticated and subtle splashes of color into their centerpieces (please tell me those lime green apples aren’t absolutely adorable!).  The courtyard at the Old Waverly Golf Club where the newlyweds celebrated with family and friends post-vows in an intimate evening reception is simply breathtaking and the cake – oh, the wedding cake – is a six-tiered masterpiece from Angels Confections.  De-lish!

How did the two of you meet?  Tell us your story.  Sage and I met as neighbors in our apartment complex at Auburn University.  I needed a date to my sorority’s fall formal and, though we barely knew each other, I asked Sage to go with me.  After dancing and laughing the whole night, the rest is history.
Describe the proposal.  After Sage finished his last final exam in the spring of 2008, he surprised me with a picnic on top of a mountain at Chewacla State Park.  While I was busy getting things out of the picnic basket, Sage got down on one knee and pulled out the ring he had picked out for me.  I was beyond shocked!  I didn’t even know he had bought a ring!
What was the biggest challenge you had to overcome while planning your wedding?  I had a vision in my head of exactly what I wanted my wedding to look like and sometimes bringing that vision to life was more challenging than I had imagined.
What was the design inspiration for your wedding?  Simple southern elegance.
Tell us about finding your wedding dress:  I wore a custom-designed gown by Project Runway designer Heidi Elnora.  It was an amazing and fun process to watch as my dress sketch evolved into a beautiful gown!
Describe your wedding flowers:  A white and cream palette of flora that included peonies, mop-head hydrangeas, dendrobium orchid sprays, Queen Ann’s Lace, fragrant gardenias and stalks of cymbidium orchids, all laced with string smilax.
Three adjectives that describe the day are:  Elegant, fun and full of love.

What was your favorite design element of your big day?  The transformation of the English garden into a chic, outdoor lounge where guests gathered for cool summer drinks and hors d’ oeuvres before a light summer supper and evening of dancing.  It was the perfect place for us to decompress a little and enjoy both the minted palmyras and the beginning of our evening.

Describe your wedding cake:  Our wedding cake was fabulous!!  We chose a six-tiered, round confection filled with traditional vanilla and French vanilla buttercream.  The cake was decorated with edible shimmer and hand-sculpted orchids made from sugar paste.  To incorporate Sage’s love for fishing, I surprised him with a three-tiered chocolate cake topped with a handmade fishing basket complete with bass fish, lures, line and stringers of small fish, all made of chocolate and sugar.  The cake was accented with cattails made of chocolate, grass and turtles made from sugar paste. 
Our favorite detail of the wedding was:  Kicking off our reception under a clear top tent with a first dance to the band’s version of Frank Sinatra’s “The Way You Look Tonight” was definitely a highlight.  Escalade Show and Dance, an eight-piece band from New Orleans, kept great music flowing all night and had all the guests hitting the dance floor.   
What was your most memorable moment about your wedding day? I would have to say when Sage and I saw each other for the first time.  I could see the love all over his face, and everything really came into focus.  It was a sweet, special moment I know I’ll remember forever. 

Congratulations Bailey + Sage!  Best wishes in all your future endeavors together!

  17. avatar Sharon Gamble reply

    What an amazing wedding it was! From the start guest were treated like royalty! We all received a personalized bag to welcome us into the most beautiful rooms that had been reserved for us. Bailey and Sage made you feel like you were the one that they wanted at their wedding. The church, flowers, wedding party, parents and grandparents were to awsome to describe! The entertainment at the reception could give Hollywood a lesson or two. But, the best thing that comes to my mind out of that special day was the LOVE I saw between Bailey and Sage! It was written all over their faces. They could not have hidden it if they tried! This is a match that was made in Heaven and they reminded all of us "older" married folks what true love, family and friends are all about. :)

  18. avatar Kelly reply

    Breath taking. I love them all but especially the bride by the church doors.

    The photographer really seems to know how to capture the personalities of the bride and groom and their wedding party, while also documenting their beautiful event.

    I was maid of honor in this wedding, and, I can assure you, it was just as fabulous as it looks in these pictures! Even more than that, this was a great event to celebrate a monumental love between people who were clearly made for each other. I’ve known Bailey since I was in elementary school, and, like I said at their rehearsal dinner, I saw her come alive as she fell in love with Sage. I was honored to be a part of such an amazing love story, a gorgeous wedding, and an incredibly fun party!!

    These pictures are beautiful, but they do not nearly do justice to how wonderful every detail of the wedding weekend really was! It was the epitome of simple southern elegance!! Bailey’s touch was evident everywhere you turned!

    My husband and I attended the wonderfully sophisticated and elegant wedding of Bailey and Sage (Stephanie Rhea/Photographer) It was truly a midsummer night’s dream. They are two of today’s most precious young couples and we immensely enjoyed sharing their special night! From the first outdoor greeting from John and Patti Griffin to the lavishly served, fabulously tasty foods, the evening was truly perfect. A true Southern girl’s dream wedding, just as Bailey said.

    Such a gorgeous wedding. The apple centerpieces looked so elegant as did the cheese and cracker table. Everything pulled together so nicely.

    The photos are beautiful and cover the beginning and end of a beautifully planned wedding that covered every detail. The photo of the reception’s beginning in the English garden court yard shows the elegance of the pivotal point from the small-town, people-packed church to the beautiful and completely southern Waverly Country Club.

    This was the most fun and most rewarding wedding party that I have done in twenty years! What you would dream of "The perfect wedding" and Bailey was so cool and calm through the whole thing. Thanks Bailey, Mothers and Bridesmaids you were beautiful!LaJuan MackinBillyBBeauty & Syd Curry Salon

Indiana Details: Peyton + Nick, Part II

by in Main on

One image board really is never enough and I’ve got to thank Megan W.  Photography for giving us so many fabulous images!  I love how Petyon + Nick gave their classic black-and-white wedding a modern, updated look by adding fresh green accent pieces.  The table centerpieces from Posh Petals are clean and understated and that four-tiered black, white and green cake from Classic Cakes is stylishly fun without losing its elegant edge.  Another look at the dramatic back detailing on the bride’s Melissa Sweet gown and I am good to go… for now, at least!

Describe your wedding flowers: I knew I wanted large, ivory and white roses for my bouquet.  For my bridesmaids’ bouquets, I wanted something modern and simple in greens and whites. My only request was that I didn’t want anything traditional or over the top and our florist, Posh Petals, did a fabulous job of interpreting just what I wanted. They did an amazing job and were so fun to work with!
Describe your wedding cake:   I am a huge fan of wedding cakes in general, but wanted our cake to help pull all the wedding details together!  The cake itself had three different flavors with butter cream frosting.  The green damask design and black ribbon looked great and tied together all of the colors and damask patterns from the invitations, programs, etc.   
Our favorite detail of the wedding was: The photo booth we used in place of individual favors!  It was so much fun and everyone loved it!    Everyone got to take six pictures (in black and white or color) and the photo booth attendant then cut off a strip of the pictures for them to glue into an album for us with a personal message.  The guests got to keep the other strip of pictures for themselves!
Funniest moment?   When it came time to throw by bouquet, I accidentally threw it into a large chandelier!  It came right back down and landed about a foot away from me so I had to throw it again! 
What’s next for you as a couple? We just moved to California, so we’re working on getting settled, decorating our new place and meeting new people!

Congratulations to Peyton + Nick, and good luck settling into your new life together!
