An Unforgettable Abernethy Center Wedding
Alex and Paul’s Abernethy Center wedding was the perfect reflection of their laid-back yet deeply personal style. With Alex’s background in photography and photojournalism, capturing raw, unscripted moments was a top priority. She wanted every emotional exchange, every candid laugh, and every fleeting glance to be preserved. Their wedding wasn’t about grandeur but about sharing a meaningful experience with the people who mattered most.
Getting Ready: Laughter, Cards, and Foosball
Alex and her bridesmaids embraced the morning in vibrant blue and pink floral robes, playing card games with a custom deck gifted by one of her bridesmaids, an artist who illustrated Alex and Paul’s likeness on them. The deck became a unique and sentimental prop woven into their portraits, adding a playful and artistic touch. And later the custom card decks were given away as wedding favors.
Meanwhile, Paul and his groomsmen found a different way to pass the time. The Abernethy Center’s men’s suite features a foosball table, and they wasted no time diving into a competitive match. The energy and camaraderie set the perfect tone for the day ahead.
A First Look Framed by Nature
For their first look, Alex and Paul met on a serene, tree-lined path at the Abernethy Center. The dappled light filtered through the branches, creating an intimate atmosphere. Alex’s joy was unmistakable as she saw Paul, and their embrace spoke volumes. Incorporating the custom playing cards and surrounding ferns into their portraits added a whimsical and personal touch to this private moment.
A Breathtaking Ceremony Under the Willow Tree
The ceremony took place beneath the grand willow tree at Abigail’s Garden, one of the most picturesque spots for an Abernethy Center wedding. The gazebo, adorned with lush floral arrangements from Solabee Flowers & Botanicals, provided an enchanting backdrop. Guests watched as Alex and Paul exchanged heartfelt vows, their love story unfolding under the canopy of nature.
A Joyful Hora Celebration Under the Tent
The reception was held under the venue’s expansive white tent, offering a beautiful yet practical setting for their larger gathering. Each guest found their seat with name cards nestled in tiny potted succulents, a thoughtful and earthy touch. As the evening unfolded, Alex surprised everyone by changing into a charming yellow and white floral jumper, perfectly embodying her relaxed style.
The night ended with a celebratory Hora dance, as family and friends lifted the newlyweds high above the dance floor in celebration. Alex and Paul’s Abernethy Center wedding was a testament to their love, their journey, and the community that surrounds them.
