We had the privilege of taking care of Meredith and Ben’s wedding in May of this year.
Meredith and I first met when we worked together in the Cable TV industry. I was “beyond thrilled” when she asked me to take care of her wedding.
Meredith started off her wedding day with a make-up application from Nyke at Divine Cre8ions. She opted for an “Old Hollywood” look.
This picture gives you a great view of Meredith’s make-up and her vintage earrings. (so lovely)
The wedding bouquets (created by Petals Edge Floral Design) were absolutely luscious! Gerry incorporated Magnolia leaves into the bouquet to represent Meredith and Ben’s Kentucky background.
This is one of my favorite pictures. It shows off the ladies’ attire and their gorgeous bouquets.
The wedding cake (made by Amphora Bakery) was simple, elegant and so tasty! But, the darling of the night was the chocolate groom’s cake in the shape of a UK football!
The wedding ceremony was supposed to take place in the outdoor courtyard of the Sheraton Suites in Old Town Alexandria. But, one minute (yes, I said one minute) after the ceremony was supposed to begin, the wind started blowing, and the rain came down. Luckily, our team was able to change and re-set a new ceremony location within 14 minutes. Yes, I said we did it in 14 minutes. My team rocks!!
Fortunately, Meredith, Ben and their families had THE BEST demeanor and a fantastic sense of humor. Here is the bride and groom in their new ceremony location.
In fact, the rest of the evening was filled with dancing . . .
And, joyful, loving emotions.
Thank you so much to Meredith and Ben for allowing Howerton+Wooten Events to be a part of your special day!
Love and Soul Always, Kay
PS. Please tell your awesome mom, Bonnie, that we said hi! She was so wonderful to work with on your wedding preparations. We couldn’t have asked for a better Mother of the Bride.
