Grace and Jackson’s romance has been 10 years in the making. Although they had known each other since preschool, it was not until high school that they officially met, and romance blossomed at their sophomore year homecoming dance. After three years of dating long-distance during college, the pair moved to Atlanta together, and the rest is history.
Inspired by the romance of European summer weddings, they chose American Swedish Institute as their venue for its beautiful architecture and history. The location also holds a special place in the family’s hearts, as the groom’s grandparents are longtime members. Grace and Jackson wanted the design to reflect their values as a couple, aiming for a relaxed celebration where guests could feel present. To support this atmosphere, they chose to forgo a traditional wedding party and instead hosted a more intimate guest list, ensuring an evening full of closeness and warmth.
The wedding design emphasized the natural beauty of the venue, featuring a lush green garland draped along the railing leading to the front door and altar. The couple exchanged vows outdoors in front of the institute, and just after they said, “I do,” rain began to fall, prompting a second, equally heartfelt round of vows inside the museum.
During cocktail hour, guests were invited to explore the Turnblad Mansion, turning the evening into both an exploration and a celebration. Surrounded by their loved ones, Grace and Jackson spent the night encircled by devotion and joy.
