MADISON + CODY'S ELEGANT WINTER WEDDING

The family reminisced: “We could not have had a better experience and the start to a friendship, and have you plan and coordinate one of the most important days of my daughter’s life. We will always remember this day and it doesn’t have one single regret or mishap. It was absolutely perfect. We cannot thank you enough.” It is always, always our joy to make these wedding day dreams a reality. We love curating such special days. Congratulations again to Mr. & Mrs. Easom!

On a crisp December day, Madison + Cody exchanged vows of forever love to each other beneath the glistening chandelier. Surrounded by friends, family, and winter decor, the couple’s love was evident.

Madison and her family + bridal party (especially her mom, Andrea), put their whole hearts into planning this wedding, and it truly showed through every detail! With pops of gold, sequins, and lace, the day was filled with elegant design and class. Highgrove Estate was there through every step to walk them through the entire process — from planning to the menu, to setting up decor, to the flourishing opening of the doors for the grand walk down the aisle.

In the morning, the ladies arrived at the Beauty Bus to begin getting glam. Madison has a true talent and did her own makeup. The girls shared laughter and sweet memories together as they moved into the Bridal Suite for the finishing touches. According to Madison and her mom, Andrea, one of their favorite moments was being upstairs with the girls and just watching everything come together! Months of planning had all finally come to fruition and the girls were able to soak it all in. After Madison revealed her stunning Grace Kelly-inspired dress, the girls gathered round to cover Madison in prayer for the future. It was such a sweet moment of friendship and there were plenty of happy tears!

Once Madison was ready, it was time for the first looks. Madison floated down the spiral staircase to tap her dad’s shoulder. Andrea recounted: “I was at the top of the stairs and looked below to see their faces. He looked at her just like he always has from day one. His little girl making another memory that he’ll hold in his minds eye and heart forever. Oh, how he loves his girls.”

Madison then found her groom for their private first look on the side patio by the cozy fireplace. The two shared in a beautiful embrace and excitedly anticipated all that was to come, together. The love between the couple was so evident!

When it came time for the ceremony and the doors beneath the portico opened, Cody looked at Madison with a gleam in his eye as she made her way down the candlelit aisle. The two shared vows and prayers beneath the pergola, overlooking the gorgeous mountain view to their left and their loved ones to their right. The site was adorned with sparkling winter trees and stunning floral arrangements that perfectly set the backdrop.

Once the ceremony finished and the couple shared a kiss, cocktail hour was in full swing! As the wedding party took photos to capture these memories, Andrea snuck into the Grand Ballroom. The room was set with soft gold linens, white + gold chargers paired with black napkins, flickering candles, and, of course, gorgeous arrangements of flowers. She remembers, “It was quiet and all decorated so perfectly. I could see all of my girl’s dreams and her Pinterest boards all come to a beautiful reality. It was all her little details all over. At that moment it felt real.” And truthfully, that is what we strive for at Highgrove Estate!

Their menu was filled with delicious Southern classics, such as chicken & waffles, pork sliders, pecan crusted bourbon chicken, and glazed ham. After dinner was an enticing Krispy Kreme flambé bar, paired with a beautifully-designed square wedding cake. The reception continued with Mother/Son and Father/Daughter dances (complete with a surprise fun dance by the bride + her dad!), and the dance floor filled with all of their loved ones. The night concluded with a sparkler exit on the front porch and the two drove away to begin their new life as Mr. & Mrs.
