It was set for January, but in hindsight, January would have never been as beautiful as August 7 for the wedding of Ainsley and Jay. Though it was pushed back because of the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was still one of the most beautiful wedding days of which we have ever had the honor to film. Ainsley and Jay were soft-spoken, genuinely kind, and easy-going. They choose to wait until the ceremony to see each other which did make nerves a bit overwhelming at times. But it was all worth the wait when Jay finally saw Ainsley walking down the gorgeous aisle to meet him at the altar.

Ainsley’s wedding gown was like no other gown we have ever seen and we loved it! With Jay’s Indian heritage, Ainsley wanted to reflect and honor that in the details of her gown. With a high neck collar and the flowing layers of the train, she was absolutely stunning. Then as the icing on the cake, the veil she chose was a short vintage-inspired veil that covered a small portion of her face. Ainsley was the definition of elegance.

The ceremony was gorgeous and just the perfect amount of time since it was outside at twilight in August. Family and friends reveled at finally seeing such two incredible people finally married.

The decorations and floral arrangements for all aspects of the wedding ceremony and celebration were flawless in design and beauty. The decorations for the reception echoed the “otherworldly realities” whispered in the decor at the altar with fairy figurines and lush greenery everywhere. Other incredible features of the day included a live painter, a photo booth, a “Pride and Prejudice” inspired dance of the bridal party, and a flash mob dance medley made of the bride’s family and close family friends. The whole day was such a sweet celebration for Ainsley and Jay.

Ainsley and Jay were married on August 7, 2021, at Castle Hill of Oxford, Mississippi.
