Mackenzie and Samuel knew quickly they’d found something rare. On a first date at a cozy Italian eatery, they “felt like home” to each other, a calm certainty that carried into their wedding at Dellwood Country Club. The pair embraced a “boho chic with class” aesthetic, blending airy textures with clean lines and a soft neutral palette. Mackenzie honored family tradition by incorporating embellishments inspired by her mother’s veil into her modern gown, a sentimental detail that paired beautifully with the wedding party’s sleek black tuxes and copper-rose dresses.
An outdoor ceremony unfolded against fall foliage, where sculptural arrangements of toffee roses, Phalaenopsis orchids, bleached ruscus, amaranthus and pampas grass framed the altar in layered, feathery movement. Tall glass cylinders filled with flickering candles and clouds of baby’s breath lined the aisle, guiding guests to white chairs set on the lawn. Cocktail hour moved to the deck under bistro lights before guests found their seats inside a candlelit reception. Long ivory-draped tables with white Chiavari chairs were set with frosted acrylic table numbers and elevated centerpieces that echoed the ceremony blooms, while a gilded frame displayed deckle-edged seating cards sealed with wax for a timeless stationery moment. Among many highlights, the bride’s father delivered heartfelt remarks he had practiced over and over, then surprised everyone with a lively swing for the father-daughter dance — a joyful finale that perfectly captured the couple’s refined celebration.
