An enchanting setting. An amiable couple. Timeless elegance. These are just a few phrases that describe Blair and Brandon’s wedding day.
It was such a delight to be able to capture a couple so love in a place so beautiful and classic. The Colonnade grounds and interior were marvelous on so many levels. Then with the fresh eye of Alexander Madison Designs to decorate it with floral arrangements and such, it shined in numerous ways. This was the place where Brandon proposed to Blair and it was still simply fitting to marry her here as well.
Blair was flawless in her off-the-shoulder wedding gown. It was a perfect decision to get reading and do their first look in a room that would make even Jane Austen envious. It was a sentimental first look with tears and awestruck wonder when Brandon turned and saw his bride.
Rain and heat were the only complaints of the day, but even with these two extremes, Blair and Brandon were so enamored with each other that it seemed as though they didn’t even mind or notice. Photos and time were spent mostly inside the beautiful home with so many different rooms and interiors of which to take advantage.
The ceremony was held outside by the quaint gazebo. The arbors that made the aisle were beautifully covered with greenery that again made one feel as though they were transported to a fantasy land. It was the absolute best moment seeing the bride and groom through the greenery of the aisle. After making their public vows of commitment and faithfulness and exchanging rings, Brandon kissed his wife.
The reception followed with such a sweet time to celebrate this happy couple. A large cookie cake and gorgeous bridal cake were delightfully devoured among the tables of delectable food. The band, the outdoor fans, and the lights made the way for friends and family to dance. Blair and Brandon left through a tunnel of sparklers in a red convertible. This sweet couple had the perfect wedding day.
Blair and Brandon were married on July 1, 2023, at The Colonnade in Columbus, Mississippi.
