Presented in marriage by her father, Macy wore an Allure gown that was made of stretch crepe material. The gown was subtly squared off at the neckline with straps and the back was a slim fitting simple sheath with buttons all the way down the long train.  It was a beautiful classic with a vintage appeal. With her gown, she wore her mom’s cathedral length veil.  Macy walked down the aisle carrying a classic bouquet of white roses with baby’s breath mixed with eucalyptus greenery.  She wore a diamond ring of her grandmother’s, Mrs. Fleta Martin.  The narthex and the altar of the church was decorated with floating candles along with calla lilies and white hydrangeas. The floral design was by Southern Occasions by Katie of Kosciusko.

Following the wedding, the bride’s parents hosted a reception at the Philadelphia Country Club.  Tracy Tinsley was the reception director.  RenTin Event Rentals, her business in Philadelphia, decorated the country club with a canopy display of fairy lights, hanging silver balls and lanterns.  Atop the tables covered in white and silver sequin cloths were arrangements with fresh flowers and fairy lights.  Amy Johnston and Gina Moorehead were the reception greeters.  Southern Occasions by Katie of Kosciusko was the caterer for the reception.  Photographer was Gamble Martin of Philadelphia and videographer was Revival House of Jackson.

The Brides and Grooms cake were created by Cups-N-Cakes in Louisville. The bride’s four-tier cake was almond, strawberry and Italian cream flavored with butter cream frosting.  The cake was accented with flowers and greenery.  The groom’s cake was a two-tier chocolate cake with chocolate icing and chocolate covered strawberries.  The groom’s table was decorated with an outdoorsman theme to reflect the groom’s love for hunting and fishing.     

The couple exited the reception through a path of sparklers, with glow sticks and floral headband light- up crowns.
