About the wedding

Rosemary Beach gave this love story its chic, old-world backdrop. Portraits on the Western Green near The Pearl set the tone—sunlit cobblestones, black-tie polish, and a bride carrying a simple clutch of white roses. Strolling hand-in-hand down Main Street, the two looked effortlessly classic, the kind of couple who makes timeless feel fresh.

For the ceremony, a lush floral arch stole the show—layered hydrangea, garden roses, and trailing amaranthus in shades of ivory, blush, and deep merlot. The bride wore a strapless ballgown with a delicately embroidered bodice and cathedral-length veil, while the groom kept it iconic in a black tux and bow tie. Surrounded by friends and family, they sealed it with a kiss and a jubilant walk back up the aisle, all smiles beneath the blooms.

Then came the fashion switch. The bride changed into a sleek satin column with a square neckline and sculptural bow—an architectural moment that fit perfectly with the town’s European charm. As the sun dipped, the party moved into full swing and the night ended the way the best coastal celebrations do: a champagne-fueled send-off down a lantern-lit lane, cheers echoing, and a forever that began on 30A.
