Hey y’all and welcome back to the blog! This week we are looking back on a beautiful wedding from June of 2021. The wedding of Jennifer and Conner Mayes was a joyful and colorful celebration of love. The couple and their planner Chelsea Crawford Designs were striving for a midcentury modern tropical vibe which came together beautifully on a Saturday morning in June.
The lush landscaping of The Grand Hotel’s Lagoon Lawn set the perfect tropical backdrop for a mid morning ceremony. Wildflowers Fairhope provided stunning ceremony florals that helped create the ambiance. Mother nature also did her part to add to the tropical feel, surprising guests with a light sprinkle of rain during the ceremony. How fitting, right?
The reception was held in The Grand Hotel’s Sky Lounge with windows overlooking Mobile Bay. To go with the mid century modern tropical design, the couple choose rentals that fit the rich color scheme. Guests were greeted with a boxwood champagne wall adorned by Wildflowers as they entered the Sky Lounge. The blush velvet furniture lounge was another focal point in the reception space. Chelsea Crawford sourced custom pillows to help bring in the tropical feel.
For their guest seating, the couple choose a mix of two specialty linens, alabaster Lucca and rose Lucca. Both linens feature a circular pattern adding to the mid century modern deign. Gold chameleon chairs with ivory cushions provided guests with a beautiful and comfortable seat for the day time reception. The ivory cushions complemented the specialty linens on all of the tables. Wildflowers continued the tropical feel with a mix of short and tall arrangements on the tables.
For their place settings, the couple choose to preset the ice hammered gold band chargers and the brushed gold arrezzo silverware. The gold in their place settings complemented the gold in the chameleon chairs and coffee tables in the lounge area. For a tropical pop of color they choose the Amalfi plate for their specialty cake plate. This beautifully complemented the existing colors of Sky Lounge as well as the other rentals and florals.
What a beautiful day made possible by a great team of vendors!
