Rooted in the joyful renewal of spring and blooming with personal charm, Macie and Seth’s wedding was a poetic blend of Southern elegance and playful whimsy. Inspired by their delightfully casual, pizza-box-on-the-beach proposal—complete with sunshine and Lululemon—the couple envisioned a day that felt as effortless and genuine as their love.

Set in a dreamy garden awash in natural light, their celebration unfolded like a love letter to intentional beauty. Blush florals, soft ferns, and gilded accents created a setting both ethereal and warm. The bride wore a romantic Allison Webb gown paired with a Blue Willow by Anne topper, an ensemble that echoed tradition with a tailored edge. Bridesmaids bloomed in blush pink gowns, each carrying a monogrammed bouquet, while the groom and his groomsmen embraced timeless Southern style from Squire’s. Hidden within Macie’s gown, a delicate “something blue” pin whispered tradition with a tender touch.

Every charming detail was beautifully captured by Micahla Vaughn, whose fine art eye and poetic sensibility brought the entire day to life with grace, emotion, and painterly elegance.

Design details told a story of thoughtful refinement. Pinstriped linens added quiet structure to the organic floral scapes, balancing sophistication with personality. Their custom wedding crest, woven throughout everything from stationery to cake design, added a layer of elevated charm.

Guests were treated to an experience rather than an event. Serving up Southern staples like boudin eggrolls and tuna ceviche, guests then enjoyed a late-night slider pass with custom stickers. The pièce de resistance, a showstopping 5-tier cake adorned with their crest, and a redfish-shaped groom’s cake gave a cheeky nod to Seth’s love of fishing.

As twilight settled, a choreographed family dance kicked off the revelry, and custom trucker hats made their way onto the dance floor. The night ended with a jubilant second line led by the Rouge Krewe—handkerchiefs flying, music soaring—a storybook finale to a celebration full of heart.

Macie and Seth’s wedding was soul-deep, joy-filled, and unmistakably theirs. A true testament to the magic of marrying meaningful design with personal delight.
