Laura Romanow And Justin TrawickWhen Laura Romanow, a self-professed “girly-girl,” envisioned her dream wedding to long-time love, Justin
Trawick, she knew there would be one dominant color. Coordinated by Social Butterflies, the entire celebration was “an
explosion of pink!”
décor

Inspired by a pair of shiny pink Cinderella slip-pers she found while on vacation in Paris, Laura Romanow wanted to celebrate her love for groom
Justin and express their upbeat personalities at their wedding. Bouquets and blossoms of hot pink and yel-low Gerber daisies and bright orange tiger lilies-the bride and groom’s favorite flowers-covered every sur-face in The Brooks Museum. The dining room of The Brushmark became a pink ice cream parlor. Anyone with a sweet tooth could step up to the counter and order a hand dipped waffle cone of vanilla, lemon or
chocolate ice cream and top it to taste. A fuchsia and tangerine taffeta canopy covered a spectacular outdoor ballroom, and a nightclub-inspired lounge and cigar bar. As the band played hits, friends and family danced in the blushing light or chatted as they rested on mod white leather sofas in the lounge. As the newlyweds finally made their exit, they were showered with pop-corn. The pink, yellow and orange candy-glazed pop-corn served as both earth-friendly confetti and a deli-cious, color-coordinated late night snack.
“The wedding was based on my personality which is bubbly and laid back.”

Bridget Graf And Elliot PopeBridget Graf and Elliot Pope both grew up in Memphis, went to college in Indiana, and moved
back to the Bluff City before they finally met one another. It was no surprise that their unique story led to
marriage and a wedding full of personalized details and special touches.
10
For a couple with so much in common, it only made sense to express mutual in-terests on their wedding day. With help
from Amy Miller Weddings and Events, Elliot and Bridget incorporated special details into their outdoor reception at the Dixon Gallery and Gardens. “My best friend is an artist and she created figurines of our dogs, which sat next to the wedding cake,” says Bridget. Other touches included champagne flutes with “Mr. and Mrs. Pope” spelled out in rhinestones, a Notre Dame themed groom’s cake, and unique favors. “We both work at Heinz so we custom-ized mini Heinz ketchup bottles,” the bride explains. She wore a graceful lace Vera Wang gown, with her blonde hair swept into a classic chignon crafted by Gould’s Salons. The beauty of the bride was nearly matched by the venue. “I wanted the reception to feel like an elegant garden party, and I played off of all the beauti-ful colors and textures throughout the Dixon grounds,” she retells.

Rachel Tyler And Matt YoungOnce a member of the Memphis-based band The Venus Mission, Rachel Tyler knows how to
throw a great party. Her relationship with new husband Matt Young revolved around their mutual love of music, so it
was only natural that rock-and-roll was the highlight of their wedding.

From blues tunes to the oldies, the Soul Shockers’ exciting performance kept guests of Rachel and Matt’s wedding on
the dance floor the whole night. After a more formal ceremony at the Bartlett United Methodist Church, the wedding moved downtown to The Cadre Building where Angela Mazanti Events had skillfully transformed the room into an elegant but energetic affair. The bride and her groom showed their personalities in traditional wedding attire with a twist. Rachel’s dancing shoes were bright pink and matched Matt’s eccentric socks, as well as her bridesmaids’ watermelon-toned gowns.
“We really love to dance and be social so we said our hellos and headed straight for the dance floor,” says Rachel of the charismatic reception. Guests added to the excitement by dressing up in boas, top hats, Elvis glasses and tiaras and posing for pictures in a photo booth. Mardi Gras beads were everywhere as a tribute to the couple’s New Orleans engagement, and guests left with CDs of the couple’s favorite songs. The couple’s first dance was to the tune “Crazy Love”. The bride explains: “We were very particular when picking out music because we have so many songs we love. I think music has always been one of the big things we have in common.”
“I can honestly say it was both a formal affair and a party.”

Julie Amann And Chad JohnsonFor months leading up to their big day, Chad Johnson had begged his fianceé for a special cin-
ematic touch at the end of their ceremony. He wanted to recreate a scene from the film Love Actually when a full
brass band pops up from the crowd to play a happy rendition of “All You Need is Love” by The Beatles.
18
Throughout their wedding planning, Julie Amann refused Chad Johnson’s request thinking that it wouldn’t fit in with their
classic ceremony. But on the day of their wed-ding, a choir, a singer and a full band—includ-ing trumpets, trombones, guitar and flute—waited for the moment when the bride and groom turned to leave the church. Strains of “love, love, love” gave way to a verse from the happy Beatles tune that finished with a trumpet fanfare.
The look on Chad’s face was priceless as he hugged Julie in total shock; it was an incred-ible surprise gift from the new wife to her new husband that showed their creative person-alities and appreciation for one another. “I am generally a sporadic, energetic individual. Julie showed me that she understood by surprising me after over a year of secrecy,” says Chad who met his wife as an intern at Hope Presbyterian Church where they married.
“Our wedding was like I was meeting her for the first time again, reminding me that I was in love.”

Chinna Prude And Frankey AndersonAfter eight years, Chinna Prude and Frankey Anderson were ready to marry. They wanted an event
that guests would discuss for months afterwards, and a historical building in downtown Memphis proved to be the perfect
spot for their stylish and memorable wedding.
22
Long stem calla lilies floated in three-foot tall vases, and candlelight flickered around Chinna and Frankey at their
reception. Warm neutral colors of champagne and chocolate offset the sophisticated archi-tecture of The Cadre Building. Guests enjoyed soothing jazz music, delicious cuisine and lively dancing. The romantic setting matched what the bride had envisioned as a young girl. “I wanted the longest aisle possible, so people could look at me a long time!” Chinna jokes. She chose a strapless ball gown with a train and a fitted, beaded bodice from Low’s Bridal and Formal Shop for her long walk down the aisle. “I wanted to enjoy that long walk to my soon-to-be husband.”
“I wanted it to be simple, very elegant andromantic.”

Karen Harris And Glen ColemanSwirls of rose petals adorned the aisle that Karen Harris walked down to exchange vows with
Glen Coleman at their garden wedding. A bounty of summery flowers complemented their daytime ceremony.
Later that evening, a clear tent trimmed in orange banners set the scene for the ultimate garden party.

The lush green foliage of The Dixon Gal-lery and Gardens provided the perfect canvas for the entire affair of Karen and
Glen’s nuptials. The bride was stunning in a flowing Vera Wang gown with a halter neck and stylish open back that she purchased in San Francisco. Both tents and the dining room were accented by orange, green, champagne and copper décor—coordinated by Social Butter-flies and Haute Horticulture. The highlight of the garden-themed design was an arch formed with slender branches, from which hung glass orbs containing single orange flowers. Guests feasted on unique cuisine from CFY Catering before an evening of dancing under the sum-mer’s night sky.
“It was a beautiful and memorable spot that we will remember fondly for many years.”

Katie Hall And Jon Paul BrashearA wedding party of more than twenty people might seem like a lot. But to Katie Hall and Jon Paul Bres-
hear it was only right that they’d invite their closest friends to be a part of their wedding.
30
Katie and Jon Paul are thankful for their friends. After all, they’re the ones who introduced them. After their ini-
tial meeting in 2004 at a friend’s house and a chance meeting on the Main Street trolley, the couple knew they were destined for matrimony. When planning their big day they also knew that they would have a large wedding party. Twelve bridesmaids wore honeydew colored dresses from All About Weddings, accented with bright bouquets. Ten groomsmen wore classic black tuxes with black vests and bow ties. Before the wedding, the couple’s “support-ing cast” graciously hosted numerous showers, parties, and weekend getaways. After a ceremo-ny at Germantown United Methodist Church, Amy Miller Weddings and Events planned a fun reception at the Hilton hotel, featuring bright hanging votives, pink and white floral centerpieces, and a special cake to commemo-rate the couple’s alma mater. “We felt so lucky to have so much love and support from all the people that we have in our lives,” says Katie.
“We truly have the greatest friends ever.”

ding aesthetic as she wed Neil Carrigan at Union Avenue Baptist Church in July. The two met in college, and as the groom confesses, “For me, it was love at first sight.” After three years together, Neil proposed in May of 2009, and Malorie began planning her dream Do-It-Yourself wedding. The reception was held in the historic Central Station in downtown Memphis, where Cajun pickles from Malorie’s grandmother’s recipe waited in hand-decorated jars for guests to take home. “I didn’t want to pick the details of my wedding out of a book or catalog,” says the bride.
“The inspiration came from my love of anything vintage.”

Betsy and Mark exchanged vows in Monet’s Garden in Giverny, France in the company of their closest friends and family. “My mom is an
artist, so I have always loved art, and Mark knew that I had lived in France for a year in college,” says Betsy of the many reasons why their wedding in France was the perfect combination of their non-traditional and artistic personalities. The couple later had a stateside reception at the Memphis Botanic Garden, and did everything possible to bring a taste of France home. Thoughtful details included a 25-foot Eiffel Tower, sidewalk artists sketching portraits of guests, a mime, string musicians and a singer performing with an accordion player. “The main room felt like Moulin Rouge in Paris,” says Betsy of her inspired reception at the Memphis Botanic Garden.
“It was more beautiful in real life than either of us had imagined.”

“The football field is the reason we met,” ex-plains Kristen of her relationship with new husband, Derek. He played safety for The
University of Memphis Tigers football team, while Kris-ten was a cheerleader. Their love of the game initially connected them, and this mutual interest is what they shared with guests during their wedding in July. The bride wore an off-white lace gown from Low’s Bridal and Formal Shop while her bridesmaids were ready for a night of dancing in cocktail-length champagne gowns from Ballew Bridal. At the reception, blue flip-flops were available for women who wanted to kick off their heels, and Tiger blue koozies kept beverages cold. The couple left their party in a flash of Tiger blue on The U of M fire truck and rode downtown as a newly united pair of relentless Tiger fans.
“Derek and I both bleed MemphisTiger Blue.”

Kerri and Joshua met at age sixteen. Though they may not have realized their connec-tion as “true love” at the time, Joshua and
Kerri would become partners in a lifetime of adventure and travel. While on vacation in San Francisco in March, Josh proposed to Kerri after a day spent walking around the city. The setting was ideal for a romantic moment: “The beautiful skyline stretched out behind us, the bay sparkled in front of us, and we had the whole park to our-selves,” Josh says. Kerri accepted the custom-crafted ring, and later transcribed the words of his proposal into her Bible. The couple wed in June at Bellevue Baptist Church surrounded by shades of the bride’s favorite color—purple. They celebrated their union-and the city that made it all possible-at Central Station with a first dance to “I left my heart in San Francisco.”
“The scene of the proposal was perfect,” says Josh.Opposite page: Kerri and Joshua triumphantly left the Central

Groomsmen looked sharp in tailored black tuxes, while bridesmaids in sleek floor length gowns the color of champagne watched as Kimberly and
Rodney wed under rose-colored stone architecture of the Pink Palace. The bride wore a strapless multi-tiered dress during the ceremony and changed into a mermaid style gown as she celebrated with her groom, who wore a classic black tux with a blush tie. Their new initial, “W,” was an important element of the decor, projected in light on the dance floor. Draper’s Catering provided a color-ful spread of mouth-watering food and an impressive cake for the reception. From the timeless attire to the signature cocktails, every element of the party reflected the elegant and sophisticated vision the bride and groom wished for the evening.

Coley knew Vivian wanted to add a special cultural element to their celebra-
tion that was symbolic of both of their backgrounds. “I wanted to incorporate as much of my Chinese culture and heritage as I could into my wedding,” says Vivian. After exchanging vows in a traditional Christian ceremony, their reception cre-ated the atmosphere of a down-home Southern house party for their guests. The newlyweds chose an East meets West menu complete with spring rolls, tuna sushi, braised short ribs along with crawfish étoufee and a spring walnut salad. Vivian also surprised her father by chang-ing into a traditional Chinese wedding dress for their father-daughter dance. Their guests danced the night away as Vivian and Coley enjoyed the wedding of their dreams.
“We wanted simple, warm, Asian, and southern since we are from the South. We gotexactly that,” says Vivian.
