Lexi and Blake’s wedding day was one of the absolute best days. With the cool breeze on this sunny Spring day, every part of this day could not have been better. 

Lexi’s wedding gown was glorious. It was a strapless, flowing, and flower-filled gown. She was a dream to look at. Blake’s expression during their first look says it all. He even had some tears in his eyes. At their first look, they read personal vows to each other expressing gratitude and their continued commitment to each other since they have already been together for six years. Their love for each other is so sincere and genuine. 

The ceremony was held under the big oak tree on the property of Bridlewood of Madison. Vows, rings, and a few laughs were exchanged to signify that Lexi and Blake were finally husband and wife. 

The reception that followed was such an incredible celebration. Delicious food, flowing drinks, amazing cakes, and groovy dancing filled the rest of the evening. Nothing could have been better for Lexi and Blake, enjoying their special day with so many of their friends and loved ones. 

With a dress change, the happy couple departed through a tunnel of sparklers, excited to begin their new chapter of life together. 

Lexi and Blake were married on May 19, 2023, at the Barn at Bridlewood of Madison, Mississippi.

Nothing could have prepared us for the astounding beauty and incredible people that filled Sumner and Erin’s wedding day. The Raymond Venue is gorgeous alone, but on that perfect Spring day when the weather was not too hot and not too cold, it was spectacular. Then you fill this gorgeous place with amazing, happy, and beautiful people, nothing could have topped it. Sumner and Erin were considerate, sincere in their love for each other, and just simply one of a kind. 

Erin looked extraordinarily stunning in her off-the-shoulder wedding gown with a flowing train. Her veil was beaded with elegant pearls. She looked classy and graceful all day. Sumner also looked very suave in his black tuxedo. Together, the pair looked radiant. 

The ceremony was held in the outside area of the venue. The altar was fabulously decorated with unique and interesting floral arrangements. There were many parts of Sumner and Erin’s day that truly were unique and special. First, as Erin and her father walked down the aisle during the ceremony, they met Erin’s mother halfway and they all three walked the rest of the way to meet Sumner and his parents. It was important to Sumner and Erin to make apparent that they were joining the two families. After saying their vows and exchanging their rings, they were finally Mr. and Mrs. Richardson. As they recessed up the aisle, friends and family threw rose petals to cap off a beautiful ceremony.

The reception that followed was marvelously lit with fading sunbeams coming through the high windows. Magnificent floral arrangements transformed the room. The food was delicious and the celebration was unprompted. It was easy to rejoice with Sumner and Erin on their new chapter of life. 

Sumner and Erin were married on March 26, 2022, at The Raymond Venue in Raymond, Mississippi.
